Can I just say that I am soooo very tired of some "very special" people in my church. I'm tired of people being viewed as leaders and acting like children. I think that in no way is it welcoming nor a good example. Am I saying that I am perfect. ABSOLUTELY NOT, but I AM saying that I think some of the behavior could improve.I feel like nothing is done or said when something immature or rude is said, this bothers me. I guess I may be acting too mature or "old for my age" for this situation, because it seems as though no one really feels the same except for a select few. This is really how I feel, and have felt for a long time. They want respect, yet do nothing what-so-ever to earn it from me. They wonder why "none of the adults respect them", well if they would act their age and take some responsibiliy for their actions, and fess up when a mistake is made, then maybe things would change. They love to come back with any excuse they can to excuse their actions. I'm so tired of it. I feel like 90% of our youth group looks up to them and man...we need to be careful of the example we set. There is no connection or even an effort to make a connection. How disheartening it is to work on someone for a VERY long time and have them finally start coming to church again only to be treated with blatant disrespect. We had visitors. I'm disappointed, as usual.
You can call me crazy, or say I'm being "negative", or maybe think I'm looking too far into it. I really don't care. This is my Livejournal, and I can post what I want.
I'm sincerely asking you to respect my opinion and give thought to what I've said.
