I took my 2 young kids to this church for the first time today. And within 30 seconds of going in, they told me to give my personal information into the computer.

I said I don't feel comfortable doing that.

I asked, "So we can't come here if I don't give my personal information?

The gentleman in charge said, "Yes".

I said, ok. Thanks very much.

I said to my kids, let's go.

So we quickly walked out, and we will never come back.

Strange for a church to ask for your personal information as soon as you walk in. I don't know them and they don't know me, and making you to give your name, your address and phone number and other private details, to strangers, and you are not welcome in this church if you don't, is something that's intrusive and out of line.

The way they made you fill in your personal information is also sneaky and dishonest. Because the first page asked just for your last name and phone number. So I thought, ok. I filled it.

But then, you have to click the next page, and they asked for more personal questions, getting even deeper, asking for your address, your full name, birthdate, and social security number.

What kind of church is this that wants all these private information?

If you don't you, are not welcome!

Very weird, and un-Christian like.

@C. Phillips
Yes, this is the very church I went to. Not mistaken at all.

@Michael Krause, I walked in not more than 30 seconds, and you'd think I asked them, where is daycare?

I never mentioned about daycare, and I wasn't taking my kids to church for daycare, and I didn't even know churches have daycare. If I needed daycare, I'd go to the mormons.

I have been to many other churches and I taken my kids to their respective classes for their age group, and have never seen any of them asking for your birthdate and social security number.

Social security number?

Are you kidding me??

Especially when you don't have any security to protect such information from a breach, which if Citibank was breached when they spend tens of millions each year, certainly yours will be a piece of cake.

This tells me that this church is much like the mormon church, a business institution disguised as a religion.

In fact, your response of daycare is Exactly what the mormon religion would say. Deflecting accuracy of information, and not taking responsibility.

So, you words that you needed to protect my kids using my birthdate and social security number is far from the truth and sounds more like Donald Trump's words that his was of the most attended Inauguration in U.S. history. PERIOD!

Why don't you start at telling the truth if you are a "TRUE" Christian.

Look, it doesn't really matter what anyone chooses to do when it comes to going to church, I'm only here to educate others with the truth of my experience, and it's up to them to decide what to do with it.

When you eat food that made you sick, such as contaminated lettuce or a restaurant such as Mexican Chipotle, both of these instances made national news, wouldn't you want to warn others so they won't have to experience it and get sick, or even die from it? Which happens more frequently than we would like, unfortunately.

I'm only doing the same, so please don't offense. I don't get paid when people don't go to your church. I just reported my experience, and it's up to the people who reads it to make the choice for themselves.
