We never quite get it right, do we. Either we don’t notice people (or ignore them) or we pounce on them and put them off. There must be a middle way.
Oh, and am I first?
And have we got rid of the italics?
geordie gilly…yes we have… hooray!
i think some people like being invisible. the bigger the crowd the easier it is.
He looks like Secret Squirrel after an accident.!
I’m going to dress up in bandages one time and see how it goes …
Who said that ?
i sometimes feel more invisible the less ‘obvious’ i appear…and still there is some confusion as to why so many churches are either stagnating or declining…maybe if i started wearting a suit? a face that fits, ironically, more often seems to stand out more than one that doesn’t…or is this just my morning cynicism???
Dennis the Menace – someone might ask if you felt OK
An interesting contrast between the level of comment generated (thus far) by this cartoon and the heat and dust raised by the previous one. Sadly instructive in assorted ways perhaps
some churchy stuff awaken’s a desire in me to instantly become invisible
dennis… let me know how you get on.
treehousebooks… know what y’mean oh too well.
pat… yup… as per…
andy berry… interesting thoughts…
I quite liked the italics really
andy… please… no!
put it back as it was!!!
apparently your request is invisble too
Sorry. I was just curious to see what would happen. I won’t do it again… I promise.
Although, I wonder if I can make it all bold?
And I don’t really know how to put it back…
Surely that’s not supposed to happen
Perhaps that’s how God feels too at times
I must be invisible – despite giving of huge amounts of time, money, energy, care, love, compassion, support, ideas, and giving of myself over very many years – following the breakdown of my marriage, (with one exception for a few months) I have had no support or friendship, nor has anybody noticed or cared that I am no longer at the church. Nobody even contacted me when I finally stopped giving financially.
I have tried other churches, but my experience has been that I always come away feeling worse than when I arrived, and that church – in my current experience – is the most lonely place to be. As I find no benefit and I struggle to find enough time to do what I need and want to do in the rest of my life, I am taking a long term break from church just now.
So, I am glad you guys are all here
suelmo – that is so very sad – and sadly, so very unsurprising
I have some fellow feeling with you here, having also once left (albeit under different circumstances) a church in which I’d been very involved and becoming likewise completely non-existent. And even though one knows that not all churches are like this, that doesn’t much help when one is stuck in one that is does it 
Virtual hugs
Pat
suelmo… that’s awful. really horrible. a virtual hug from me too. if we don’t care about one another, really, what’s the point.
Apologies. I will refrain from using html tags. Sorry for disrupting the discussions here.
andylowe01… much appreciated. thank you, sir.
hi suelmo, just read yr post, and sending virtual hugs to you. su
