Were you an altar boy/girl?

[snowy ciara]

Hi Peeps!

As Grace mentioned, we once had an interesting conversation about the number of peeps who were altar boys and turned out kinky! So I'm starting a poll. The original conversation was sort of specific to Catholics, but I'm throwing the poll open to all religions. If you were an altar server in any capacity for any religion, please select the appropriate response! This poll is open to all genders, as several denominations do allow for altar girls. And I didn't to exclude any of our trans persons either. So even if you're an altered girl now as opposed to an altar boy (or the other way around!) we still want to hear from you! (I so crack myself up sometimes!)

Okay, enough with the punnery, here comes the poll!

 

[Shankara20]

I was an alter boy - I just loved the little dresses we got to wear up front where everyone could see me, errrr, I meant "see us" ...

 

[ShyGuy68]

you seem to be missing the NO options! So since I weren't I voted "other"

 

[graceanne]

I was none of the above. We didn't even go to church when I was a kid. My parents didn't start attending church until AFTER I got married, and then only cause if I wasn't taking my sister to church, no one was - so they had to start going to church.

 

[nh23]

Nope, I voted other like ShyGuy.

 

[snowy ciara]

I was an "other". I know, I'm the vicar's kid and all that, but can you imagine a hyperactive mini ciara doing the altar thing? Neither could my parents!

 

[snowy ciara]

Blame grace for the missing "none of the above option" cause I ran the options past her and she missed it too!

 

[ShyGuy68]

Blame grace for the missing "none of the above option" cause I ran the options past her and she missed it too!

Sounds like you need a new sounding board then!

I was distracted! I've got a party to plan! And you took my cookies!

Other:

I was raised in a very strict church. From a very early age (3) I was preaching, singing, raising money and/or selling shit for that church and my parents. We had no alter boys or girls.

 

[Sir_Winston54]

I was an altar boy for a few months. Then they figured out that the increased amount of Welch's Grape Juice (Methodists are SO off the wall!) they were having to buy seemed to coincide with my "term of office." I was never exactly accused, but they decided to replace both current servers, as there were "so many who wanted to be servers."

I EARNED my cookies, remember! **giggles madly as the Peanut Gallery tries to figure out what I had to do to pry cookies from Gracie's hands**

 

[midwestyankee]

I did all the necessary study to memorize the Latin mass and went through the little graduation ceremony but never actually served. It was a three mile trip to the church and no one was willing to drive me there every morning to serve for 6 am mass when it was going to be my turn to do the regular week-long stints of morning daily masses.

 

[SubKekiLee]

I was raised in a very strict Episcopalian Church I served for several years and I am still kinky..

 

[Netzach]

Don't mind me. I'm lurking for the inappropriate role play what-ifs.

Need any help with those? Forgive me Daddy Netzach, for I have sinned.

Oh lord....the vision i just had in my head!

 

[snowy ciara]

We must be watching the same channel again! Is it HOT in here, or is it just me?

 

[HottieMama]

No..no...def. not just you...

Other:

I went to Catholic school and the alter boys were chosen from the fourth grade class. There weren't any alter girls, we weren't allowed.

 

[ammre]

I was the first female alter server in our diocese

 

[DeservingBitch]

I was forced by my parents to go to church AND be an altar server up to age 14. I tried to get away from altar service duty by reminding my parents of the 'no-girl-on-the-altar' rule, but they reminded me back that our church was more progressive than the Vatican would like it to be.

 

[LittleJade]

Born and raised Catholic - I'm switch.

I never altar served, as girls weren't allowed to in my church, when I was growing up... but I was a Sunday school teacher, a youth minister, an RCIA sponsor, a prefect at my Catholic school, etc.

Can I goto your Sunday School?

Sure-


Sacrilege
by LittleJade©

Drug me in your tradition-
Baptise me, crucify me,
Give me your Opiate.
Make me an Oracle,
swirling, dancing, psychedellic
fucked-up visionary.

Fill me with hopes and dreams-
Build me up, knock me down,
Cram your Religion down my throat.
Make me your Student,
holier-than-thou, learned,
pious altar-girl.

Bless me in the Great God's name,
Assure my salvation and condemn me,
Beat me with your sacred tools.
Make me your protege,
writhing, thrusting, convulsing
Spiritual Whore.
