JCSV asked: Hi people, well lately I gave started hating my church. (not really hating, hating) but anywyas….
About 3 weeks ago, me and my sister (I am 18, she is 19) went to a party, also my 15 y/o brother.
We invited ALL the youth kids from my church to atten that party.
The party was a BIRTHDAY party! My sister is friends with a girl that has NO friends. Her friend, let’s name here… Jane. Jane and her family were throwing a party for Jane, they (her family) told my sister, “invite all your friends to the bday party.” So my sister, being a kind person knew she -Jane, has no friends at all was going to feel sad that no one was going to go. So she invites the kids from our church. Nearly NONE of them went, only one person. Out of like 10 youth kids. ONLY ONE.
We (my siblings and I) told them (the youth kids) told them it’s was a good family oriented party.
So in other words, they were fully aware that it was a family birthday party.
Okay, so we are at the party, my parents, siblings, 1 youth from our church and I go to the bday party, we show up, eat some BBQ, then my parents left and said we will pick you up at 12.
These are th people that attended: Jane, me, my sister, my brother, Janes brothers (2) and their girlfriends. THAT’S IT. All family. No strangers.
So then the music starts and all. We take pictures of us dancing. Sane dancing.
Jane gives a speech. Thanks my sister for being her only friend and not judging her by how she looks like. (you know how high school kids can be) and then we eat some cake.
So then the party ends. My parents pick us up, and drive us home.
Next day, my sister uploads the pics to Facebook. Normal pics of the bday party, funny poses and what not.
About one week later, a girl that we invites to the event, tells a church leader that we went to a party and then she shows her (church leader) pictures of the bday party. She (church leader) then emails the pics to ALL the “leaders” of our church.
Next day, one of the leader talks to my day about the pictures being passed around BEHIND OUR BACKS. and then tells my dad, “maybe they should take a break from the music group” (because we play on the church band (-my siblings and I)
On that same day we (sibs and I) go to band pratice. (this was before we knew everyone passed pics behind our backs). So we are at band pratice. NO ONE TALKED TO US. It was so weird becuas I was like… What’s up with th elephant in the room? It was an akward situation. Now we know why no one talked to us or even said hi.
So on your opinion, fellow Christians… What is you opinion about this, keep in mind our church is small. All the leaders have families. And kids. So EVERYONE knows about this. And for some time our church looked at us like we are “of te world” my mom and dad are very angry because of the lack of professionalism of this situation.
The one girl who stole the pics from facebook behind our backs showed it to her mom and then “snitched” to eeryone. Now everyone looks at my sister like we are sinners. WE INVITED THEM TOO. Do tey think we would have invited the youth if we would have known it was a bad party? Like seriously. I think the church is wrong in every way.
I think the girl who emailed te pics of the bday party that had NO ALCOHOL, NO DRUGS, NO SEXUAL DANCING envies my sister.
What do YOU think?
Please only answers regarding the question.
some more info- Jane does not attend our church, she does not speak te same language. She speaks portuguese but enligh is her secod langauges. But she does believe in God, matter of fact. She has gone to our church several times.
The reason I used term “snitch” is because that’s what she did, it was a sly move. It’s not like she discussed the pictures with us first. She snitched behind our backs.
An finay the pictures were not bad, it just showed us posing for pictures. I guess just becuase it was a party she assumes it was associiated with drugs and alochol. (Wich it was it was not)
oh and janes parents were there the whole time. They are the ones who took the pictures.
