and, on the other hand, i advise those women who are pretty much life-long members at said bible meetings to be very wary and skeptical of men who suddenly join; supposedly with new found interest in worship and god.
i naively married two such men and they turned out to be deadbeats, drunkards and wife beaters.
bandlength, that is the exception and not the rule. I believe that most guys at these praise and worship meetings are genuine, good guys. I really do. The singles gathering that I am referring to is catered more to the worship side than the dating/courtship/meeting side. That's a big part of the reason they attend.
