Johnb974 states--..............I were told years ago, you're single, you're not welcomed here.

Johnb974 then adds--Talk about not feeling welcomed.

Bob requests clarification--Were you, as you posted, TOLD you were not welcome or did you base your comment on how you FELT? Feelings, as we all are aware, are predicated upon the level of sensitivity of an individual. If you were not told, but only felt, it is my opinion you would still experience difficulty in being objective.

John, obviously the infinitives TO TELL and TO FEEL are synonymous to you. In addition, I do not agree with your conclusion you were being informed you were not welcome, but I do respect you interpreted the comment according to your personality..

John, you are mistaken. In my attempt to be of assistance, you have totally misunderstood my action. I will, in the future, never again comment on one of your posts.

Actually this is about you trying to cast the blame on me. You went to an old post to find something to blame me for. LOL

YIKES!
Shopper Bob is THE most objective, not blaming person on this forum. If you THINK he is 'trying to blame you' or allowing an emotional response you seriously need to seek mental help. You've got some serious 'the world is against me' issues going on.

@johnb974 Do you think it is possible something was lost in translation? Given that you spoke with the staff and not the Pastor directly? I know you said "That was from the Pastor. He did not want to deal with any Singles Group." I believe you heard that statement andwhen I hear it, I interpret it as he didn't want to be involved with the Singles Group Organization and not that he doesn't want to deal with singles going to that church.

Neither of us know the history of the Singles Group at that church, but perhaps the Pastor felt that the time spent organizing and low yield in turnout made the group not worth his time and trouble, but if someone wanted to volunteer their time in getting said group going he would not have a problem with it.

Isn't tt safe to say that many single people do get married at some point and they come from families?

I would do the shop. I am sure you can be objective.

NM1962,

The two reasons I visit this forum are to share experiences and to seek advice. John and I, through neither's fault, are at or near being diametrically opposed in thinking. His verbiage of me blaming him with an old post, indicates I may have "hit a nerve." It is my opinion, he would not profit from what I would advise.

Now you just did. How can we ever trust you again? LOL
