Other people's churches

I didn't go to church that often as teen or young adult.My mother used work a lot on the weekends and she would be tired. As a child I went on a lot. Those are stories for another day tho.We had some friends of the family who were VERY religious.I mean you know from the outside that their very religious which is nothing uncommon but when you dig a little deeper things start to get a little strange.They are good friends of the family with kids my age and my mom was cool with the parents. So when you get invites to go to their church it is polite to go.

One of the kids was my man fiddy grand.A Good dude trying to deal with adolescence and living in a STRICT religious household. That can be a rough balance for a young dude.We are going to call this dude James for the sake of the story.This was the dude I went to the mall with, played nitendo with, hooped, and if we had to throw hands I knew slim was gonna wreck. Growing up in this sex driven material world with all the videos, daisey dukes, freaky songs and what not is hard on a teen. Especially if u aint getting none and TRUST James wasn't getting none.My dude James had a little brother that was on a fast track to being the next Creflo Dollar.Dude was the like the Tiger Woods of Church. He was like 12 years old and was a walking talking bible and totally asexual. Slim had been groomed by the good word since diapers. I don't know if you ever been around a real young real religious cat?But things can get a little crazy. Anyway, these dudes used to share a room together.My man said on one hot summer's night he waited until little Creflo was sleep . It was the Jack-off hour for James.Jergens, old socks, sweet memories? All that stuff was on deck, now it was time to "Go to Town". This was a delicate practice but I guess dude had been successful thus far. On this night I guess my man had got lost in the moment and would wind up waking Creflo up. "MOMMA! JAMES is FORNICATING in front Of THE EYES OF THE LORD!!!". Dude mom woke everybody up and had the family pray for this man for beating his dick. Ok, that's embarrassing as shit. Damn near traumatizing I supposed. See I aint have these type of problems coming up. If I wanted to journey down them roads it was straight mash out posse then I was out.No issues.

Eventually, me and moms get invited to church. Oh, the Theatrics! We used to go on regular back in the day but we had had been out of the game for a minute. We went to black church but a catholic church.This was a whole new world we was walking into. So the pastor says "run around the church if you love God". People got up and was str8 doing laps at FULL Speed! Old people, obese ppl and all that.Young Creflo was holding down the lead on some Usain Bolt shit.Looked like something on Martin, like at Momma Payne's church. Not that there is anything wrong with that but ya know shit was new to us. I'm just saying. I was in high school at the time. Bammas was supposedly getting healed and everything. I kinda went along with the plan of getting "heal" for the sake of my mother.The whole purpose of the invite was for James who was losing his way.We was sorta there for support. My man James had got healed by the pastor. Unbeknownst to me I had been nominated for a surprise healing.This dude, the pastor was looking at me and knew my name and all that. I'm thinking WHAT? I looked at my moms like "get me out of this" but she had a look like "Do It!". So dude put his hand on my forehead and spoke in tongues then boom I was healed.I wasn't "healed" tho. I still had a damn cold.
