Re: In-Law's, Christmas, and Screaming...ho ho ho
I'd find a new church too. This sounds kind of crooked, that they would allow your parents to do this,and that they would show it, without your H's permission.
I believed that when it came to religion, there was a difference between having faith, and being a crazy fanatic. Your ILs? They sound like crazy fanatics. They treat you both like garbage and use God as an excuse. I don't blame your H for wanting to get away from therm. These people are loonies.
I'm sorry to hear about the MC too, and I hope you ignored your MIL when she told you to stop TTC. That is NONE of her business!!!!
Ahh good point. What if next year you both did a " testimonial" about his sister and included all the gory details of what she has done. How would they feel ? They would have no right to get mad either.
so you want to continue attending a church where they condone 'testimonials' being used as a weapon?
I"m going to echo...this is NOT a good church. It's not a nice church. It's not a church that is, if they're allowing/encouraging this, following GOd's laws/showing love/being Christian.
What could there possibly be about a church that allows such a video then has turning around and whispering to LIKE?
Give your husband some time here. I say stay away from this church for a while and do some scripture time at home by yourselves for a few weeks. Maybe meet with the pastor and explain that while you have been happy there and were learning/growing you just don't feel comfortable with the situation his parents and the church put you in by putting up a one sided and reputation damaging testimonial.
I honestly feel that you need to change churches and stay away from ILs. They are nuts.
It is hard to know that people are/will be talking about you but I think the ones that know you will realize ILs are in the wrong here. MIL and I had a fall out this Fall and she spread all sorts of things about me in our hometown. At first I cared but now...you know, my record speaks for itself. She can say what she wants but her actions do the same.
So give it time and if he really wants to stay with that church to prove a point (wrong reason IMO) switch service times. His parents need to be out of your lives.
