Reply #44: I have two uncles, three cousins and one of my grandfathers

[xmas74]

have all entered the ministry, either Pentecostal or Assemblies of God. I also have two cousins who are missionaries w/ the Assemblies. Religion is often brought up at family reunions.

As to conversion: no training for us. They felt that whatever praise came from the mouth of babes could cause people to flock to our congregation en masse.

I don't miss a single day of it. I hated it and felt uncomfortable, especially the Christmas program. I can remember one year when they had an adult wearing a Santa costume w/ a Satan mask. Made all the children cry for days afterwards.
