My Karma Ate Your Dogma

On Facebook recently, I had the interesting experience of seeing a photo album posted to an acquaintence’s page. This acquaintence was someone I knew from having attended the same church she currently attends, long, long ago

People don't dance? Women don't talk? What Church is this?
There aren't many like that anymore. My guess: Plymouth
Brethern. Maybe the Gospel Hall in Arlington, Washington. Please, God, I hope there are not too many like it around!

On second thought, I must be wrong. There would be no dancing there today either.

Plymouth Brethren, YES!

And I take it from your use of the term "Gospel Hall" that you are familiar.

I was astonished to see it--I know that the "tight" meetings would want no parts of it, especially since most of them have yet to even get pianos! But there they were--unbelievably!

They're getting further and further away from a lot of the old ways at this particular meeting--lax on head coverings for ladies and such, too....;-)

Plymouth Brethern

Fact is, my birth mother and her rapist were both members of the Plymouth Brethern (but I don't think either of them danced). I never had any first hand experience; but it was the dominant Church in the town where I lived from age 5 to 7. Later I researched a little bit because of an academic interest in religion and because I wanted to know something about my own background.

By all means, feel free!
