My name's Ammo and I'm here to give any help or advice on anything that I can. :] Firstly, if you were kind enough to come here and read up on me, I thank you.
I've been through a lot when it comes to relationships and life in general. I've seen and heard many things and have always felt it's nice to be able to share my experiences (both good and bad ones) with as many people as I can in the hopes that I can help others not make the mistakes I've made (and sometimes still make). Who knows, maybe there's a lesson or two I can learn from you as well.
I don't really use chat programs much anymore so e-mail would be the best way to get in touch if you wish to chat but if you really need to chat then I am able to do so via Facebook, Yahoo or MSN. I'm a very social person so don't mind anyone wanting to chat. ^_^

my dad has been a pastor for 10 years. he was a cop before that and got asked to take his police job back. he accepted and stepped down to part-time pastor at the church. well, one of the committees in the church came to my father last sunday and asked him to take his family and leave the church. so we announced tonight that our last sunday would be fathers day. ive been a little torn up about leaving. ive been there since i was 6. most of those people there remember teaching me and watching me grow up. it pisses me off that they would tell us to leave. its pretty much causing huge drama within the church because so many people dont want us to leave. but we have to. they are bringing in a new pastor. my goddaughters family goes there, my best friend and her family go there... what sucks ass is that my best friends mother is on the committee that asked us to leave. i have a feeling that the church is going to split.
im pissed that they would ask a family such as mine to leave. im not saying that my family is perfect, but i cant tell you how many times we;ve gotten calls at 2am and have gotten out of bed to attend "emergencies". theres been so many times that my father has sacraficed family time to be with someone who only has a week left to live. theres been times when i woke up and didnt know where my father and mother have been, only to find out that they were counseling a family. theres been times when my father has been extremely sick, and still gave of his time to go open the church for someone who forgot their glasses. weve given so much to that church in the past 10 years it seems like they just dont care or dont see how much we do for them. as a family, we have every right to be there.
im not saying that im closed minded. i can see how if youve been a pastor for 10 years and they bring in somebody else to take your spot, how that could affect the church. knowing my dad, i know that it wouldnt hurt him. he would just be happy staying with people hes known and grown to love.
its going to be hard to say goodbye to people whove watched me grow up. some of the young-ish (20-30 yr old) ladies who ive grown to adopt as second parents, we were crying tonight.
everything happens for a reason. but it doesnt seem like it here. we vote over the color of the damn carpet and whether or not to fill the cracks in the ceiling, but we dont vote over asking the pastor and his family to leave?! this whole situation is really weighing on my conscience.
i have mixed feelings. im pissed and im also scared and depressed. any comforting words?
Hi.
I don't understand... WHY have they asked him to leave? I can understand them needing to bring in a new Pastor to take over since they may feel they need someone to do the job full time but asking your dad to leave and take his family with him? That seems totally out of order!
I have always thought a Church to be a place where anyone can go (I'm not a Christian) and regardless of their colour, profession, race etc they can all feel welcome because it's the 'House of God', so I would personally like to know why and how is this commitee allowed to decide who can and who can't be there?
That said, I will say don't let this stuff that's going on get you down. Your father (and mom) sound like some amazing people to have done so much at the expense of their own family and such as you mentioned. Even though all these people on the commitee may not see this the only real person who needs to see it and does see everything is the big Man upstairs. Take comfort in knowing that your parents helped so many people while being there. If because of what has happen causes internal problems for the church (such as them splitting as you mentioned) then there may not be anything you can do to prevent that at all. It's the fate that they choose and a fate they will need to deal with afterwards. As you said things happen for a reason so what's happening now with your dad may all be happening for a reason. It might just be a reason we cannot see yet or understand yet but you are obviously someone who has a lot of faith so have faith, things will ultimately turn out for the best.

im not exactaly sure WHY we cant stay there. they vote about damn cracks in the ceiling and the color of the carpet but they dont vote on kicking someone out of the churcH?! i dont get it. but i dont have to. i just have to accept it. i dont really believe all that crap. im just fed up with it all at the moment. email me if you want. your answer was by far the best one i recieved. thanks. smichele427
