Didn't know there were any introverts in America
Only when the blood runs and the shackles restrain, will the sheep then awake. When all is lost.

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.

Re: Church for introverts
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...

Re: Church for introverts
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...

But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.

Hebrews 12:2-3 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,despising the shame,and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
2nd Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,lest the light of this glorious gospel of Christ,who is the image of God,should shine unto them.
