My husband and I are snowbirds and reside in the DR for 4-5 months every year.
Last year when we arrived, we encountered a new religeous congregation in a small barrio behind our condo in Cabarete. It was Hell! They imported an amplified system to preach and pray to about 10 to 15 people. I think this could have been heard in Puerto Plata. I could have sworn they were doing Voodoo, because the preacher and la Bruja were getting themselves into a state that was not natural to me and gave me bad vibes.
This year when we got here, things were fine, they abandoned the amplification and had moved the services inside a hut. No amplification, just preaching and praying in a normal voice. Great!
This morning, I woke up to "la bruja" at 6 am. Prayers, chanting....AMPLIFIED!
Just wondering, if any of you have had similar experiences and how you deal with it.
