It happened again...

[Crossless2.0]

Really, I've seen wonderful thing happen in church services and I've learned many things that are good for my life so, I considered church a good place to learn many things.
What BQ experienced was neither good or learned and the pastor should, if he hasn't already, apologize.

I learned a few good things during a stint at Attica.

In response to a joke I made a few posts back about learning "good things" in Attica Correctional Facility, I posted It's a photo of improvised prison nunchucks, made from 2 chair legs and a length of bed linens.

You old hands know my story. I'm your resident blindie. You also know my dad is a deacon at a  Penecostal church here in Cleveland. Well me being daddy's girl and wanting to make him happy I decided it wouldn't hurt anything to go to church with him this past Sunday. We were supposed to go first of the year but got a bug. Anyway I sat at the back because my bible is on my phone and I didn't want to be a distraction and I'm already quite obvious in a church of only 40 people. Pastor Singleton whom I normally get along with quite well, and I never thought would embarrass me, did the usual pass the plate, then call to altar. Well in such a small church no one actually comes to the altar. He just comes down the rows. My mother stood up. He comes over to her and I thought he was going say some simple generic bless Sister Sample and her family blah blah... But NO!! He goes on! "Call down a healing on her child! That this infirmity cease. Blah blah. God did not intend blah blah" Well my ears were ringing with rage. I was humiliated. I remember white flashing in front of me. Somehow I made it outside and to the car by myself. And I guess he let church out early after I stormed out. They found me by the car. I think I yelled something about not being anyone's Tiny Tim and they could find their inspiration porn elsewhere. I'm big time at the end of my rope for dealing with with religious people looking down on me. Im not less than anyone. Any advice on how to deal with this more calmly?

Well, if you're going to put yourself in that position by going to church again...I know you love your dad, but if he saw how uncomfortable you felt he would not require you to put yourself in that position and if you try to act like everything is wonderful he won't know. You're a grown woman. You don't have to put yourself through this shit trying to be daddy's little girl. As long as you do this is the kind of shit you'll encounter.

"Dad, I'm not into it, and your churchbuddies....assholes, fyi".  

He's your dad, hell, he might be thinking the same thing right about now. His Holiness, Matthew McConaughey, himself.... hurts my little girls feelings, Imma think about poppin him in his pretty little heyhole.

You should have stood up and said "Oh my god! I CAN SEE! I CAN SEE!" and then be like "No wait, false alarm. Phew, I was worried there for a minute."

There were three men in a bar. One was blind. One was deaf. One was in a wheel chair.

Jesus came in and put his hands on the blind man’s eyes. The man’s eyes popped open.
Blind man: Oh wow! I can see the boogers up an ant’s nose.

Then Jesus put his hands on the deaf man’s ears. The man’s ears popped open.
Deaf man: Oh wow! I can hear a gnat piss on cotton.

Then Jesus reached out for the man in the wheel chair, but he pulled back.
Man in wheelchair: Don’t touch me. I’m on disability.
