d This weekend he discovered an opportunity to make nearly $500 in two to three nights a week part time. Here's the catch, it's a part time position bartending. d?
Another dealbreaker (let's hope) may be to research the claimed "good money, part time." Any occupational ratings lists I've seen have bartenders and waitresses very close to bottom. The above money claim is probably what their best bartender pulls thanks to tips. How do those do it? By flirting, smoozing, blending in, and using a certain talent to make people feel good about themselves (BTW, not unlike some televangelists.)
How happy would the hour be if, he served a drink and the customer left and had an accident?

That is a good point! In fact, this happened to me. It so happened that the owner overrode me (I wanted to cut him off a few drinks sooner), but still, it was a shock and an eye-opener. The fellow was fine, btw, but it could have been much worse.

Yep, because people sue bartender's for that.

I don't know. For some reason it fascinated me that he was looking into it. It seems a bit exciting, of course, I used to be the ultra con straight and narrow type back when I did all I could to find my way in ministry. Now I just want to be happy. I just thought it was very interesting. I might try it myself, just for the experience's sake. lol

Whatever, it ain't all that. It can be very depressing. Some drinker's are not very happy.

DAVID A MAN AFTER GOD'S HEART.........
True to some degree. I was in the Army and we'd often go out and have a good time. I remember those days. We were close. I often reflect on those times and feel that I was much happier back then. In both church's I've attended friendships aren't all that deep or close. They expect you to "perform" with dress codes, attendance, tithing, singing, etc.... but after a while you give all you can give and collapse. Your dreams never materialize in spite of everyone patting you on the back about a "calling" that God has on your life. Buth there's always a reason why you're not ready yet. Then you just say, "Forget it. I'll just show up and sit on a pew with everyone else and forget this insanity." After a while that gets old too. Same ol' same ol' church stuff day in day out. Sermons about the clothes line, why we're not measuring up enough to have revival, sermons illustrating that "If we just..." this or, "If we just that...". Then you snap to and do it...and next week it's a different reason. It all becomes the illusive dream for the day that never comes.
My point... I've discovered that church isn't what we think it is either. In all honesty, in many ways I was happier back when I'd go out with trusted friends and have a few drinks.
I know an Apostolic brother who's in serious need of some extra income to keep his family afloat so he's considering a second job. However, most options he's considered don't present enough income to be worth the hassle of a second job. This weekend he discovered an opportunity to make nearly $500 in two to three nights a week part time. Here's the catch, it's a part time position bartending. He's seriously considering it and he has bartenders in his family but as an Apostolic he's not sure church family and the body of Christ at large would understand.
What are some of your thoughts on this?
Your friend really needs to pray and fast and seek God's guidance for his situation. The question shouldn't be whether or not church family will understand.
