Ok, so I don't do this kinda thing often, but something has been urcking me all day and I just have to get my feelings out.

So, I went to church this morning with Paul. I like a lot of the kids there that are around my age because they are so down to earth and chill. They are the kind of people that will say "Yea, I got drunk and I shouldn't have. But, you know what, I'm only human." I just like that they know they have flaws and accept that, it makes them seem real.

Another thing I LIKED was the teen class. The people who taught it was the pastors oldest son Mike (21 year old) and his wife Jess (22 year old). They are just like the teens in the fact that they are real. Mike is always saying "I'm not gonna tell you going out and drinking isn't fun, because it can be! And most likely you all know this from experience. But, what I'm trying to show you is that there are other, maybe better ways you can have just as much fun." I always respected them because of their honesty and how they treated the teens like we weren't some demons from hell.

Are you following so far? Everything is cool....until now.

Paul and I walk into church this morning to hear that there will be no class special for teens anymore. Of course I'm curious as to why and I figured I'll find out from the source, Jess. Come to find out Friday her friends wanted to treat her because she's been taking care of the new baby all the time. So they took her out and Mike watched the baby. When she was out she had a couple drinks, but nothing big. The pastor found out and told them they weren't fit to teach the teens anymore and just cancelled the teen class. >.<

Now they expect the teens to split up and the girls to go into the womans class and the boys to go into the mens class. Personally, I REFUSE!

I refuse to sit with the woman because every one of them has a "holier than thou" attitude toward the teens and wants to do nothing but pick about what's wrong with us. When I first went in with my new hair, most of the woman stuck their noses up in the air at me and gave me this weird look. And that never bothered me before because I didn't HAVE to be around them that much because we had the teen class. And the people in the teen class smiled and complimented me on my hair!!!!

It just bothers me because it seems like the adults are being hypocritical on this whole thing. They preach understanding and following what God said, and they're doing the exact opposite! So what if Jess had a drink or two, the pastor use to be a drug addict and did crack! And wasn't it GOD who said "Let those without sin cast the first stone"!!!!! >X[

Now I have a dilema. I can't stand going to any church that would be so hypocritical (hence the reason I didn't go to one for a VERY long time), but I've made friends with a lot of teens there and church is the only time I ever see them. I want to leave, but I want to see my friends.

That's it, I'm going on morning class strike! If they want me in the morning, I'll be in the baseball field!
