Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I saw a Facebook notice that there's an ecstatic dance party twice a month in my neighborhood (100% UNsurprising), but I don't want to pay $20 to see what goes on.
It's at 10:30 in the morning on Sundays, and it's described as "All ages. Family friendly. Substance-free, shoe-free, judgment-free." I think I'd require some substances to actually ecstatically dance with strangers.
I bet they are trying to trick people into going to church.

Ah, like those magic show/revivals local churches used to sucker kids into attending.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
My mind was going to hippie festival, which COULD happen at 10:30 am, certainly, but getting me there that early is very hard to imagine (unless I had camped there the night before, I suppose, but are Teppy's neighbors into that? I am not a free-range chicken, after all)
Maybe the ecstatic dancers are all chickens! I can't over-emphasize how unsurprised I'd be if that were true.

Ha!!! That does sound like something one of those hip "culturally relevant" churches would do. "Come dance ecstatically Sunday morning!!!!" (Fine print: "With THE LORD!!!")

It's even cooler than the "brunch church" by me!

Oh, yeah, that's a cult.

Oh. Huh. I immediately thought of, like bacchanals but modern-day church did not occur to me. Very plausible.

I guess it's the next step on from praise teams that get everyone to wave their arms for Jesus? Wave your entire body!
The older I get, the more I appreciate Bach and pews. (On the rare occasion that I find myself inside a church.)
Steph, I'm sorry about the crap care your FiL received. I'd be thinking lawsuit, too. If a desire to be helpful or professional hasn't motivated the people at his facility, fear of monetary damages seems like something that might. I hope your FiL recovers as completely as possible.

The first thing I saw when I clicked Jesse's link is that the person behind the event is also a "Cash Flow Coach" and that's definitely sus, right?
