....surprise, you're in CHURCH!

Jan 06, 2008 12:42

Okay. Normally I would prefer to cleanse myself of negative energy than dwell in it but, as my mood apparently indicates, this isn't going anywhere until I do something more concrete to purge myself of it. Therefore I'll write it out of my system.

I had surprise-church this morning.

A couple days ago an old, old friend of mine called and invited me ( Read more... )

I'm sorry you had to deal with that. There's nothing wrong with you. Something is wrong with her to suggest that one of god's creations is not the way he wanted. Grr. What does she know anyway? Maybe it's "god's perfect will" for you to be as you are. It's perfect will, isn't it? How can it be corrupted and all that nonsense if it's god's plan anyway? That's damn righteous and presumptuous of her to think she knows what God's perfect will is.

And a surprise church service? That's ridiculous! *shakes head* I'm ashamed for that girl. That is most definitely not the Christian way.

It was a Jesus ambush.

Fortunately, I do know a lot of Christians - like you - who are quite completely different. I like your interpretations of God's will better. ♥

Oh that kind of behaviour sickens me. That kind of sneak attack others sickens me. I'm sorry that happened to you.

There is nothing wrong with you, and I firmly believe that we are as we are intended to be. I had my own visit to a church this morning - I was invited by a friend - and found it somewhat uncomfortable but over all enjoyable. Queerness and all (No one blinked twice about me in men's causal dress pants and shirt).

I'm glad it was fairly enjoyable for you! ♥ This service in itself, had I not been ambushed by it, would have been acceptable to me, I think. And I think it is WONDERFUL that you were able to go "queerness" and all. I know there are several queer-friendly churches that really go to great lengths to be accepting and open.

The friends I was staying with are the son and DIL of a Methodist Pastor, so...
Actually, the girl with the pink hair got more looks and comments than I did, and it tended to be "Oh, that's so cute!"

I still can't believe someone thought doing that would be a good idea and would work out well...

Yes, well, the friendship as such is now nonexistent. Had I know she was like that, I never would have met her.

It is disgraceful. I agree. It's pitiable, because she used to be a much different human.

Fortunately, I have enough beautiful people in my life that they keep my faith in humanity afloat. These kinds of bad apples are, I hope, only that.
