Alienated Church: Father's and Mother's day

[Charnock]

Im not talking about a service. I am talking about a PROGRAM. I don't go to women's conferences either. Does that make me selfish too?

Do you complain about women's conferences?

What kind of fool demands I have to celebrate THEIR father's day by sitting through an hour long program and watch their parade? Do I have to celebrate your birthday too?

So now your pastor is a fool? Nice.

Are Christians really that arrogant and self centered? I have to celebrate YOUR father's day by driving across down watching your parade then watching you dash out the door to a BBQ or Outback?

This is laced with jealousy.

Are you guys really that insensitive to the people who are not parents or whose parents are gone, dead or in prison?

Most churches honor all parents dead or alive. In fact, I would say that for many people Father's Day is very healing because it gives them a chance to share memories of their dads.

Honestly I don't know whether to be surprised or not. You talk as if you left the Pharisee mindset behind but then you sound as mean and judgmental as as the group you often come here and blast away at.

I didn't start this thread. I'm not the one whining like a pubescent little girl. I'm not the one throwing the tantrum.

You are proving my point about alienating. Yeah it's SUPPOSED to be a community but it's more of a "I couldn't care less community"

Your absence proved your lack of commitment to the community.
