+So how soon can I get involved with your committees?
+Can I get a longer bulletin—maybe something with more detail?
+Will you please single me out in front of all the people during worship this morning?
+Will you please send some "callers" by my house later and interrupt me while I fix dinner?
+Can you please seat us in those uncomfortable pews with our fidgety kids and aging parents?
+How quickly can I fill out a pledge card?
+Does this church have weekly meetings, rehearsals and other activities that will consume most of our family's free time?
+I need more paperwork! Can you give me a folder filled with glossy pamphlets, old newsletters and denominational statements of belief?
+During the worship service, can someone with a monotone voice speak (at length) about all the insider church happenings and people's private health matters? I find this so inspiring.
