What religious services have you been to?

[DINGO Joe]

Catholic mass, and will never step foot in anything else.  That is a sin.

Isn't that what confession is for?

[SATW]

I've been to a Reform Jewish Service, a few Conservative Jewish Services, and a ton of Orthodox/Hasidic Jewish Services.

I've been inside a few Evangelical Churches, but never went to services.

What sh-te is this? So when Catholic bishops go to remembrance services or public services for victims of tradgedy in non Catholic churches and even participate in the service, they're sinning?

[Ban my account ffs!]

I've been to many Christian services.

Catholic
Lutheran (ELCA and LCMS)
Independent Baptist
Methodist
First Assembly of God
Evangelical Covenant
Evangelical Free
Non-denominational but SPEAKIN IN TONGUES AND SLAAAAAAAAIN IN THE SPIRIT
Korean Catholic
Presbyterian


I've also been to Buddhist and Shinto temples but have not been to a "service".

[Grand Wizard Lizard of the Klan]

Korean Catholic

You mean just ordinary Roman Catholic but mass celebrated in Korean?

The Catholic church is quite different all around the world.  The Catholic church in Korea, not unlike Latin America, has synced its calendar with the traditional Buddhist and Confucian calendars and incorporates Buddhist and Confucian rites and rituals into the church.

2004, I tried out Catholism, Jehovah Witness funeral and Buddhism during 1990's.

Catholics can't attend weddings and funerals (the latter of which typically involves a full blown religious service of some sort) of non-Catholics held in their place of worship?

The Catholic Church does not regard it as a sin to go to a non-Catholic church, only if you take communion there.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

My family has always respected Jehivah Witness beliefs, but the sense of no soul upon death and you are eternally dead, doesnt sit right with my family, so we are Christians. But they do everything else so well.

[Lexii, harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy]

Catholic, Evangelical/Pentecostal  and Buddhist

[TJ in Oregon]

^BRTD is correct. Catholics can attend Protestant services (or basically any non-satanist service) but can't take communion (or get rebaptized or anything else like that).

[TJ in Oregon]

In addition to Catholic services, of which I have been to both the ordinary and extraordinary (tridentine) form of the Latin Rite Mass as well as a Byzantine Catholic Mass, I've been to a Methodist wedding and a Lutheran funural.

[Green Line]

I was always told it was a sin.  Maybe there are exceptions made.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Adventist
Catholic mass (HS baccalaureate)
LCMS

That's all I can think of.

[100% pro-life no matter what]

Catholic, Southern Baptist, and Presbyterian

[The Free North]

The Catholic Church does not regard it as a sin to go to a non-Catholic church, only if you take communion there.

Do they even offer communion at non-Catholic churches?

Perhaps I should go visit one day, I hear people get up and play guitar and other weird things. And the Priest is just some random guy too, like he doesn't have to have a doctorate in theology or go to school.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I really want to go to a Black/Pentecostal service.

Yes, although it's not weekly in most. (Episcopalians and most Lutherans do.) Mine does it monthly.

Playing guitar is weird?

And the Priest is just some random guy too, like he doesn't have to have a doctorate in theology or go to school.

My church doesn't have "priests", the only Protestants that do are Episcopalians/Anglicans. But the pastor isn't some random "guy" at mine, as there are women too. But yes can be a random guy or girl, more likely to be some attractive 25-year old girl in a hoodie and ripped jeans than anyone with a theology degree wearing some weird robe.

Do you feel that the informality of the service (relative to Catholicism) detracts from the sanctity of the mass?

It's not a mass, and no, not at all. People are far more into and closer to God in fact, since they do the whole hand raising and shaking and dancing in worship stuff. And since the sermon is in a style you can relate to (like I said think Upworthy videos) it's much more meaningful.

I suppose i'll have to observe it one day.

FYI this is an emergent church, 99.99% of Protestant churches are not like this. If you go to a Lutheran or Episcopalian service it probably won't appear much different.
