Personally some of the things you mentioned would kind of squick me out.

But then again, Matthew McConaghey squicks my best friend out and I couldn't disagree more. Different strokes for different folks, in different situations.

And "we hope to see you tomorrow" or "God brought you to us" is not the same as "we will give you a bid." The first are excitement and hyperbole, the second is an outright promise that I definitely would run the other way from.

ETA: It sounds like you're afraid of ending up in this group and not having a choice about it. You always have a choice.
