8 months. 8 fucking months.
That's what it took from me leaving your mouldering pile of shite of a church, to anyone actually asking where I'd been. Let's see, what could I have done in 8 months?
Lost my faith Joined a drug ring Taken up a life as a hooker
You wouldn't have known a thing, would you? Tonight I got the first person to actually ask me how I was doing, leaving aside one or two who had some seriously heavy prompting. For fuck's sake, aren't you meant to be a community or something? Apparently "All are welcome". Bullshit to that.

... and in answer to your question, no I've not been okay, I've been pretty shit, actually, about as shit as I've ever been. Did you notice? Were you there for me, after I've spent God knows how many years trying to serve your shoddy excuse for a Christian community? Seems not. It's a good job I believe in grace, because you lot are going to need a whole fucking heap of it.
In the meantime, try reading the parable of the lost sheep on repeat, for maybe a decade. Then, try not to fail anyone else who has the misfortune to pass through your doors.

So been there. "Kelly, I have noticed you have been falling away in worship. Remember each time you are missing church, you are defying God's command to take part in the Eucharist. Don't be faithless in your worship."
"I'm sorry, the six or seven people I informed about my 2 month bronchial infection must not have passed on the info. Oh ,they did? And you still are shaking your head? Well, fuck you very much."

Frankly I would have liked somebody to get in touch to tick me off for missing church - it would have shown they had noticed (and given me an opportunity to request communion at home). The total utter silence was hard to take, as Dinghy Sailor says.

And while we're on the subject of churches, let me toss into the flames the limp apology for a vicar who watched my husband being targetted by the church sociopath for months while doing nothing more than mumbling that she was "under stress", and when we finally left the church showed no interest at all, didn't even answer my email explaining (politely) why I was going, wouldn't have cared if we'd joined the Scientologists or the Moonies. The bastard knows he's safe, short of embezzling the church funds or having a very public affair with a member of his dwindling congregation, because he's got the freehold and can just sit in his comfortable free house for the next twenty years picking up his stipend.
But one day, turdface, you're going to have to explain yourself to Someone who knows a bit more about you than the archdeacon...

It wasn't . Although it did occur to me it could be taken that way the minute after I hit reply .
I was merely thinking about that guy's liberties being infringed in such a way that he knows he knows he's paying for the deed he has committed . Whatsmore he won't be doing the same thing again. The whole point of the penal system AIUI.

Nobody "got in touch." I got the silence , too, The speech I got was when I was shaking the Pastor's hand after service, having finally recovered enough to drag myself there. Still pale and sweating and shaking so hard I can remember having trouble with the handshake. And , as I said, I had let a variety of people in my peer group know how sick I was. (My sister confirmed that she had told a number of people including the Pastor, herself) They also knew what time I wasn't spending being sick I was working a six-day a week job, for minimum wage. Instead of doing those well-checks you are talking about, they decided I was missing the extra-church events and weekend clubbing and rock concerts because I didn't like the church anymore, and passed this version of events all over the church. Nobody asked me a thing. I was told what everyone had decided.
And how is telling someone they are "defying God" without asking a single question about their circumstances showing concern?
I don't think you would have liked that.

TICTH being assigned to a senior school that teaches Philosophy and Ethics in place of Religious Education when my major is Religious Education.
Take two lessons on critical thinking? No problem (seeing as how my undergraduate degree is in theology not philosophy.)
So those twelve detailed lesson plans I just handed in for a 60% assignment were a complete waste of time?
Excellent. I love wasting my time.

Well, on the upside - you can see theology as a branch of philosophy and ethics, and you will certainly have learnt critical thinking during your degree. Post-modernism is an position within epistemology so you may even get the chance to teach it.

Dear boss, I know we were incredibly busy at work yesterday but that doesn't mean you should attempt to bully me into giving up my lunch break. A twelve hour shift of constant business with no down time is hard enough even without giving up the one break I have. The one opportunity I have to eat something between 9am and 9pm.

[not particularly hellish tangent]
DS/Kelly - I hear this a lot. I think there's a phenomenon that needs investigating.
My ex-lot haven't actively sought to find out what happened to us after we turned around and took the kids back home back in October after being told that kids' provision had been cancelled without notice. Not that bothered, but that's probably because I'm an anti-social bastard mesel'.

Naturally she came round when the housing office is shut so I could not phone them to check my rights until tomorrow
She does have my deposit which is more than my monthly rent - I doubt I'll get any of that back

Nanny Ogg , you really must get yourself to a tenants' advice service or a community legal centre. I don't know what the law is in your part of the world, and it would take time which I don't have to look it up. I do know that the laws in the various jurisdictions here have very substantial protection for tenants, and I'd be very surprised if there aren't similar protections for you. These include:
* A maximum amount of bond which can be taken - here it's 4 weeks for unfurnished premises. * The bond is held by a government agency and is the tenant's money until the landlord proves an entitlement to it before a tenancy tribunal or local court. * A landlord cannot simply throw a tenant out, but must prove an entitlement to possession in a court or tribunal.
In the case as you describe it, with renovations to take place once you leave, it would be very strange if a landlord were able to claim any part of the bond for cleaning or minor repairs. Get advice urgently, so you're in better control of what happens.

TICTH The "wonderful" vicar who took over at a parish where I gave 3 1/2 YEARS of virtually unpaid time/support to reinstate their choir & decent music after a previous organist walked out mid-service.
Thanks for using the magazine to announce that 3 out of 4 evening services wouldn't require choir and that a "good new children's choir" would cover Christmas carols: fantastic for the morale of the singers and put me in my place publicly.
Thanks, too, for staying in the church office throughout my last evensong, only appearing to hand over a bunch of flowers just before the blessing and then leaving even before I finished my 20 words of thanks.
Thanks for being so sensitive that you decided not to mention the very sudden death of my partner and my children's parent . And it was especially caring to ensure that you dropped a note through my letterbox ON THE DAY OF THE FUNERAL about changing all the hymn lists for the next 2 months - PLUS a typed note about how happy you were sure I'd be that the cathedral had decided to make you a canon because of your "pastoral strengths".
What a woman - what a pastor!

TICTH the way that the autism scare over the MMR has affected NHS policy in a way that buggers up vaccinating children who had an adverse reaction to the first MMR.
Apparently, NHS doctors aren't supposed to blood test for immunity, but my kind and helpful GP said we were a special case and it would put our minds at rest and solve everything if the first MMR had, in fact, done the trick. Results are back and lo! I have a child with no immunity to measles, and an NHS suggestion we go private for a single vaccine. To a clinic which is 3 hours away. It has taken us 4 NHS appointments, with 5 NHS doctors / health visitors, over the past 6 months to get to this point.
