By allowing that, you are reinforcing her dependence upon all who are around her. These kind of people are so dependent prone that they will never grow up as long as someone is willing to pander to their weakness.

She should be shown other options and shown the door.

Just my opinion.
Oh believe me.. thats long over!!! The only reason she was allowed in my home in the first place is her husband tried to kill her and she had a 4 mo old baby whom we took care of for a long time while she was in the hospital... then it just continued... Right before she left.. she left us with the baby... then went and found a shelter.. we relocated her shortly after and told her she had to make choices or the baby had to go to cps... she has the baby now.. which probably wasnt the best choice but... due to the circumstances we had no choice either! But yes I was a major push over then.. there was already too much drama in my life to where I couldnt see the good from the bad! We learned real quick to say no when we were forced to take the pastorate there and everything else happened!

Migraines yea... so they put the drums back in.... 4 months later... she was back... some reason POA didnt work out for her in the sound issue dept. ROFL... We are gone from that area now but I hear they have again removed the drums LOL


I guess that DRAMA drove the drummer crazy. ROFL....

Anyway, there are those kind that can never be satisfied...regardless what you do or do not do.

There comes a time after a while that the Pastor just gets up by divine inspiration and gives those type a good old fashioned gospel spanking with the golden rule (r) After awhile 'nuff's 'nuff.

After having a number of different pastors, I think five, only one that I know of did not have clicks.

I understand pastors are people and they should be able to fellowship with whoever they will. However, not to the extent it shows favortism.

That was the case with my pastor, after that last incident he told her not to come to him with a complaint again, and if she ever left a service again (which she was doing when she got upset about something) she better be sick enough to be going to the hospital, or to never come back.
