You may know church today as a violent place where all the participating humans attempt to get as rowdy as possibly. It is also an excellent place to get all your aggression out and to show some mungloid what you think of his actions of the past week. There is a lot more to church though. Church started out with an idea presented by donnie. Now being Donnie has a reputation for heavily supporting atheism, i thought it could turn out to be a satan worshipping cult. However i caught myself in the myst of a conversation in which donnie was explaining his plans for "Church Of My Basement." Donnie's idea was to sit in his basement, listen to internal bleeding, get rowdy, break stuff, and slam cold ones. This idea is what really got a couple people more involed in getting church begun. Our orginial plan was to meet twice a week(thursday and friday) but we agreed to meet for church every friday at 7 pm. So we organized the inaugural church meeting (date unknown). About 10-17 people showed up and it went almost exactly as planned.. listened to internal bleeding, little bit of headbanging, few things broken but the energy level was very lacking. There was many mixed emotions about the first church, some thought of it as a cult, others as "just plain stupid." The next week came around rather quickly, so we decided to try it again. Only 6 people showed up (which later turned out to be the elite members) and the energy level was pretty good for the time being.. lots of headbanging, the first broken bottle, louder music, longer music(2 songs as compared to 1 at the first churc meeting). This meeting really got the higher ups of church a little more excited about it. We then designed an elite member meeting which would meet every wednesday at 5 pm. In the elite member meeting we would converse as to what we could do to improve church attendance, energy, and hot woman count. The 3rd week rolled around then..in my opinion this church meeting almost ended church. High attendance (15-20) but the energy level was next to 0 if not 0 (only brent was headbanging). Faith was still there for the church, some of us knew this could be a bigger thing. Once again we choose to have church again for the 4th week. The attendance was still pretty high at around 15-20 again. Many more people were getting involed in church then, a lot of shoving was taking place and also breaking a couple items, the first woman showed up too (alicia sauer). Church seemed to be finally getting off the ground after this one.. however some people were getting bored of it. For the others though, we got an ingenious idea to get a strobe light, this would get a lot more people into it and it would add to the destructive environment we wanted. So we started the 5th church session with a strobe light, this was a humungous success. Only about 8-12 people showed up but for those who were there got treated with the first mosh pit. The energy level of this church was a tremendous step forward for Church Of My Basement. The 6th week, with a little bit more attendance (12-16) was a really new thing for the new members. There seemed to be a little confusion as to exactly what moshing was. Church was obviously still in development and it showed at this mass. We had several other church masses following this one, it looked like church was in good shape. Attendance was slowly growing and more and more people were involving themselves in the mosh pit. Church hit a big scare during about the 10th week. The Snowmobile Jacket Mafia invaded church. We (Shawn and Brent) were tremendously outnumbered (about 7-1) and back downed from the ultimate challenge. This put a blemish in the appearance of how "tuff" the church really was and belittled our reputation. Also that same night (saturday) a paint can was spilt. The reverend was enraged by this action and canceled church.

It took the work of 3 men (Carl G., Jason D., and Brent S.) to finally convince the reverend that church was neccessary and a small paint stain couldn't possibly end it. Church was on again.. however most people thought it ended so the attendance was at a 5 week low (8-12). There was obvious rebuilding that needed to be done after the miscommunication between church and potential members as to the cancelation of church. The following week, the reverend took ill and church didnt take place on friday, many people thought church was permanently ended. Church was on the mat once again, only 6-10 people showed up for the follwing mass and the energy level was at an almost all time low. A lot of rebuilding needed to be done to church. We hesitantly decided to have church the next week. Some hot women came, which raised the reputation of church. A few more people overall came too (7-13) and the excitement appeared as if church was making a comeback. It was a little easier to make the choice of having church again. For this church, Joe R., kindly donated his nice somewhat big stereo. Due to that donation, church was a lot louder and rowdier. Attendance was slowly climbing back upwards too (10-15) Since the reverend was starting to get a lot more into church, he made a special church cd. Many of the members were thrilled to here what was on this new cd. New members were treated to some heavy, farely populary music that they loved to mosh to. Church once again took place. Awesome service, attendance back up ther at around 10-15. The energy level was probably the highest its ever been though. Next week showed that church could be having a little bit of a slump oncoming. Hot women continued to show up but the energy level was in a downward spiral. Only 1 song was played which made the service very short at about 3-5 minutes. New members were still coming though which was very influential in the choice of moving on with church. Also joe inderriden got really bloody and it made hell (church mass location) look a lot more hardcore. People who were once bored of church were slowly coming around and getting more rowdy. The next mass involed a burning of a book and the energy level was horrible once again. A huge number of bottles were broken though, about 20-30 at least. Attendance was becoming routine at around 10-15. The next week could have looked bad for some people. Hot women werent to be found at church anymore. Not nearly as many bottles were broken. A positive note though.. the level of rowdiness was huge. This inspired jacob g. to bring a camera to the next mass. The next mass totally flung the church in the air. Jacob came with the camera. Huge attendance, about 15-18, a huge gain from the current slump. The mosh pit lasted for at least 20 minutes(longest ever) and there was even a few small scuffles that occured. Bottle breaking was also a record that night. Over 30 bottles at least were broken that night. The hot women were surfacing once again. The first outside session also took place which involed a shovel and fan being broken. A huge burning of a educational book also occured. Now we could show the absent members what they were missing out on. The next week was the most unique church ever. It started out with a brawl between jacob g. and brent s. which ended in a draw. Lots of new people showed up, the attendance was about 21-27. This mass was filmed by Adam T. Many bottles were broken and it appeared that church was in the drivers seat.
