De(a)f Church

Sunday is a day that many people worship their Gods – for me that means a lot of time in front of a mirror or camera. Being that not everyone worships like me, I figured I would write about church; primarily because I just heard a great story.

 

Both of my friend’s parents are deaf and they go to a church where all of the members are deaf. A few years ago she took her boyfriend with him to their church and this was his experience:

 

“It was awesome! A deaf man plays the organ – it is totally off and incredibly loud so some of the members can hear the pitch. Everyone sings – regardless of the level of their hearing impairment – that’s pretty incredible.” “They sing ‘Engrish’,” my friend interjected.

 

Her boyfriend continued with his story, “The other amazing thing that happens at this church is the excessive amount of farting, burping and other bodily functions that make noise – they can’t hear it so they do it constantly and without shame.”

 

Although I’m not a believer, I believe I could enjoy at least one meeting at this church.

  15. I wanted to thank you for this great read!! I definitely enjoyed every bit of it. I have you book marked to look at new stuff you post…

  22. A motivating discussion is worth comment. I think that you should publish more on this issue, it may not be a taboo matter but usually people don’t talk about such topics. To the next! All the best.

  38. When I originally left a comment I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I recieve 4 emails with the exact same comment. There has to be an easy method you are able to remove me from that service? Thank you.
