Didn't know there were any introverts in America

[SoCalExile]

Yeah. As an introvert, it reminds me why I don't read that site. Not cool to make fun of your brethren to make a buck.

Actually, this a a very good idea.

All to often, folks in church think people who do not communicate like they do are judged as standoffish when in reality they are not. For a wide range of reasons some people were robbed of developing interpersonal skills due to background etc. Others just like to think and be left alone and will open up when not forced due to another wide range of reasons.

Often, in the church, people need to be respectful. For one, I do not like the greet everyone phase of a service, however, the reason it is done is to get people awake before the sermon so they do not fall asleep. At least that was the old time reason back in days... before the 22 minute - you alls are simply so wonderful sermon-ette...

I see a danger in it. Was wondering what Bible has to say about introverts.
Found good link https://www.gotquestions.org/Christian-introvert.html.
Well, yes, wonder how they serve others. Love them and all...
And yes, if we let the Holy Spirit to form us...

Hana,

I see no danger in it because the website is satire.
