My parents have said we should all know better than to go to church again after the virus, And has decided Will maybe only attend a contemporary church or not.

Just some thoughts.  No offence intended Brother.

None taken. Those are fair points. There could be an argument depending on individual circumstances; I was just speaking as a generality.

This is their honest opinion. We {we all think this part}, We all think this part, We all think that churches should not resume communion,

 

Since Covid, my church practices communion a different way.  We use plastic containers where the individual has to pull the clear top off to get to the wafer ad then pull the whole top off to get to the juice.  They are put into the little holders on the pews the day before with clean and disinfected hands.

No more sharing of the passing of the plates nor deacons touching your cup when passing it to you.

so you cant go to the shops, theatre,school, or anywhere where other people go ?  Take reasonable precautions ?  YES live in fear ? NO 

No, we are shopping, We are not going to the movies because of the virus, I am confused at the school ?, My mom is saying that different places attract different germs. Being in an enclosed environment for a few hours and not walking, nor moving around, And breathing in the air that you are in for a couple of hours is the concern. We considered a charismatic church because of this air purifying system they said that they had, However we have not tried to go yet. I do want to keep our outings as much as possible, However we do not have much energy for church after that. I can go to church, But I am concerned that her and his concerns are.... accurate....... ?....................,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Considering the TV shows you say she likes and threatening to watch porn if you keep bugging her about it, I would understand why she would not like the Nazarene church....    They would not approve of your mothers choices any more than you do.

I don't believe it was a loaded threat, I believe it was just saying, However I did not appreciate it..................,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

She only wants to go to a church on Sunday morning, probably a mega church on Sunday morning, She will not compromise and not go shopping on the normal day we go shopping, When I said I especially don't want to go to a mega church on a Sunday morning, and would prefer a Saturday or Wednesday night, We can't do that because my dad does not approve of the episcopal church by our house................,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, When I said that no one is meeting me halfway, It exploded in to a gigantic, screaming fit of a battle and got steered completely off topic which once again led to her threatening to put real pornography on the television after it got spun completely off topic and down screaming fits of rabbit trails...............,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I would prefer a calmer church if it is going to be a Sunday morning, my dad can not do that, my dad will not do that, My parents will not forfeit or reconsider what they do on Wednesday or Saturday nights. I'm stuck. 

[believeinHim]

I can walk up to or ride the scooter up to the baptist church, however it is a lot further. I think I am stuck with the baptist church or the episcopal church, By myself................,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Maybe if I do start doing this, Maybe if I do start forfeiting shopping and going on my own, On a regular basis, Maybe they will start going along ? If I decide to start going by myself, And I forfeit what we do on Wednesdays and Saturdays, Or perhaps even Sundays if I can get up.......,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Is this leading by example ? And what do I do when things get steered off topic in screaming fits of rage...............,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

If I decide to start forfeiting what they do on Wednesday and Saturday nights, And going by myself, Perhaps even on Sundays, Sunday mornings, am I leading by example.......,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I am not sure I can do Sunday mornings, But would I be leading by example if I forfeited a Saturday or Wednesday once a week, And led by example...............,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, And what do I do other than avoid temptation of yelling back when it explodes off topic in to a screaming battle..............,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ?,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

And I want to tithe, Too. I want to tithe what I am supposed to tithe, To the episcopal church if I start attending. I don't want to just tithe needlessly, I want to tithe something that is worth something something that is what I am supposed to be tithing. Prayers, Please.
