I used to use my phone to cope with boredom before but now i've stopped since they put up a poster in church dat read "switch off ur phone as u switch on ur heart to God"
most times when boredom sets in i simply drift into fantasy land imagining all sort of wonderful tinz for my life...But i definitely don't sleep. Maybe except during some vigil.

nativedoctor:
Incidentaly when the priest walked in I recognised him bc I attended his service twice and they were the most boring in my life (didn't leave with any message). So immediately he walked in I left.got to the house,read today's readings in the bulletin and read my bible for the next 2 hours.
Better to me that being in the church and leaving with nothing.
How market?

I can't believe what I'm reading. You folks who say you chat, browse, sleep e.t.c. in a church service, pls tell me what constitutes a 'boring church service'.
If you know you will go to church and be a curse to yourselves, pls sit in your homes. If you were in a board meeting and your GMD was presiding, would you be pinging, browsing, chatting or doze off?
This goes to show how we disrespect the things of God.
CHURCH SERVICE IS A TIME OF WORSHIP, REVERENCE, AND THANKSGIVING TO GOD, AND IT REQUIRES YOUR FULL AND ACTIVE PARTICIPATION. Period?

Na wa for una o,am sure 90% of u replied while in church. As for me,i've out grown that mentality of sevice being boring. I can only remember the last time i almost slept off in church was because i didnt sleep overnight,thereby making me extremely tired. But later on,i really felt the message and sleep ran away. But in the case of pressing phone in church!!! Its a total NO. I hate peeps doing that beside me,i can change seat because of that if the person doesnt listen to me

cmon: I just log off from the sermon.... Go into fantasy mood and start thinking about how to improve or tackle an issue with my business. If there's no issue at the moment, then I'll start thinking of the next business Idea. It's far better than sleeping and every one around thinks you're very attentive.... Thinking is just one of my hobbies.
just like me. I switch of, and start fantasising, i'm good at that. I could fantasise about how to fix my state as a state govnor, what to name my unborn children, how to make 1 mil per wk. Trust me, i'm good at that. After all, they said we should dream big and aim at the sky...

dirtymoney: dealing with a boring service has never been my problem. the cell phone thing is outdated. lately, wearing dark sunglasses in church is becoming trendy. so i dont miss my rayban eyeglass every sunday. all i do, is just to put it on. tilt my head backward a little, still facing the pastor...... close my eyes behind my shades and do my thing. d disadvantage of this is.... u might get startled by the thunderous 'amen' or wake up when the grace is being shared or if u dey sleep like olodo... u fit fal

I ensure i don't touch my phone concentrate during church even if the preacher is not making sense.I believe that after doing all sorts intentionally and unintentionally during the week, the worse i cld do is not paying attention for just 2hrs, it wld have been better if i didn't go. Even at that sometimes i just can't help drifting away when a sis with a b

The lady who mentioned toilet must be overseas.

Some of the restrooms there- once you enter, you want to stay inside for a while if not for the fact that you know people are watching/waiting. Very beautiful designs, etc.

Nigeria needs to borrow a leaf in this area.

Same here. I am can never sleep or ping in church no matter how boring the service is. I simply blank out and start fantasizing I'd love to do or plan on doing in the future.

"Thou will show me d path of life, in thy presence is fullness of joy, at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore-Ps.16:11" This is God's word in clarity. @OP: Why then should u b bored in His presence? I guess, u must be just a passive fellow or number in ur church? Pls note that being passive or just a number in church makes one to either easily pass on or slumber. May this not be ur portion IJN- Amen. Pls be active to command God's presence so that Satan will not cheat on u. Ur phone will never bring panacea or succour to ur spiritual problems. So stop deceiving urself. JESUS IS LORD!
