[quote=Anonymous]I think this thread is interesting, OP. Thanks for starting it. I skipped over all the debates to read the anecdotes. Now I'll add my own.

My parents made an attempt to take us to church, but we weren't really very religious. When I was exposed to the bible, generally by my grandmother, it was the new King James Version (written in modern English). In high school I dated a 7th day Adventist, and if we wanted to hang out on Friday night, it had to be at vespers, which was kind of like a young life style youth worship. I went a couple times and there was music, it was fine. Then I hit a bible study night where everyone was going around in a big circle, reading from old King James Version bibles, written in archaic English. Got to me, everyone stared as I stumbled over the words, looking like an illiterate heathen. It was so embarrassing.

Also my grandmother was a devout southern baptist. All my siblings got talked into being saved, but I was rebellious and refused. She evidently brought me up regularly with her congregation, and I would get Christmas cards from the church telling me they were still praying for my soul. As a teen I was embarrassed, now I think it's kind of funny.[/quote]
