yes…I loved this one…and esp laughed when 2 couples in front of me were exhibiting this behaviour on Sun past…

I enjoyed CINAP only because like you I didnt see the answers coming…

Maybe u can do that in book 2

I thought I was the ONLY person in the world that this bothered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so happy to know I am not alone and not weird. I am all for married couples having, ahem, sex (at home) and touching and being affectionate, but I have always thought that some of what goes on during church services is excessive and “why now?” “Why now in church?” I am trying to concentrate on God and they are definitely NOT concentrating on God. It is distracting! Stop it! As my Mom used to say to couples making out in public….”Go get a room!”

I just witnessed my first church massage last night and I was FULLY grossed out.
I would like my membership to PAMIC to start promptly.

THANK YOU for calling the massagers out! I score as high as you can on “touch” as my “love language”, but that doesn’t mean I want to see people being lollied on in church. You have hit upon something big, whether web, or book, or cries from the nearest mountaintop!

i say, respectfully, neither. it was amusing but did not make me lol.

on a side note, i am pro-massage and anti-scratching. I mean, ew… do we really want to let our minds wander down the “what flesh-eating disease must he have” path?

just catching up on what i missed while on xmas vacation (the controversial xmas, ‘taking the Christ out of Christmas’ as my mother would say!)

Or... you can neatly reference PAMIC in, say, a section devoted to something else (Surely there are other distractions during service) and have the manifesto as an appendix. Or a nifty sidebar. Or something other than it's own whole chapter-y thing.

Or not.

Personally, I like it, because I'm one of those people who get really distracted by massages during worship (er... I mean, ones I'm watching. I don't receive them. Personal bubble, people, personal bubble).

I really did like CIMAP (and the PAMIC response). I would feel the manifesto would be missing something without it -- because I thought CIMAP (and PAMIC response) was funnier than the original manifesto (sacrilege, I know).

But hey, I'm weird. Whatever works.

This is your book. You are a representative of PAMIC. If those who want to make a stand for groping in church want their side heard, they should get their own book with a velvet cover just in case they need something to stroke as they read it. Maybe your book should have rose thorns or fiberglass embedded into those pages so that no one can stroke it without consequences. Just genius at work… (I had to spell check the word “genius”)

PAMIC only—
I think your instinct is right on, vis a vis the latter movement is a web-community-only thing… It sounds too garanimals if you put both in, like a little matchy-matchy twin set.
Let people fill in their own blanks, and interact with your book in their brain, or be talking back to your book— or even writing to you, saying, “Hey, I love in-church massages!”

[then, the rest of us can be thinking: "Man, that is SO last year, dude")
