My father recently died and the pastor presiding over the service used that time to convert people to follow Jesus. Should I be incredibly offended?
My condolences. If they went that way because they wanted, nothing you can do about it. The pastor's attitude was something very predictable to happen and should have been prepared for that. Your freedom ends where the other's begins. Might be frustrating but that's the way that it is.
@lulufaerie394, if you feel that way, it was up to you to set the boundaries and tell the pastor not to behave like that in that situation. You didn't, he saw nothing wrong. In his mind he was doing a good thing. For you, it was the wrong thing as you didn't want him to do that in your personal space/territory. I understand your frustration but that's the way human mind works and you should have set that boundary. You may not like it but it's the way I see it. Unless I'm proven wrong, I'll stick to my guns.
There is your invoice. If you don't want to be preached to,.....don't hire a preacher.....if you don't want religion attached to the gathering, don't have it in a church.
Well........are you offended or aren’t you? That’s the answer to what your asking.
It doesn’t sound like the Pastor was doing anything wrong.
