SO ANNOYING
This is from a youth pastor turned branch pastor, got informal “education” through the church’s bestowal program. As a kid I was told I would go to hell for not meeting up with other Christians and “fall into sin”. I was told I HAD to go to church, otherwise I “couldn’t serve” and might sin, but if I didn’t serve because I didn’t go I “backslid”. I would get into so much trouble as a teenager for being a kid and not wanting to go, and of course I was forced into ministry. They say you “don’t have to go”, but they’re judging you for not going. Luckily I don’t want to go, so I DON’T HAVE to or GET to go, because I SIMPLY WON’T GO.
