pushy church lady

Interesting post. My children and i go to church (baptist) and are firm believers however my hubby is not. I would not to try to force him and he would not try to stop me. He does come to certain things and is friends with some of the folks i go to church with. But not ready to beleive.

It sounds like your husband doesnt have a problem with you not going so why should anyone else? Have you talked with your husband about it?

I go to church every Sunday too. However I do respect other's beliefs. I think I would have told her something along the lines of: If I am finished sacrificing the neighbor's cat to Satan by 5:00, then I will be there.

I've actually said something similar to someone. Sad thing is, I think she believed me. lol

I'm noticing more and more that some (not all) people who feel they're "doing good" think that little things like manners, property rights, etc. don't apply to them. After all, they're on a mission!

I understand the plight of an introvert, as I am one myself. My wife is a people person and an extrovert. It has made for an interesting 40 something years together. She pulls me out and that's OK. She knows when to just let me "stay home and work" too. Funny thing about introverts is that many of us had professions right smack in the public eye and amongst people. Go figure!!! But, left to ourselves, we're happier works on projects, machines, things, or with plants and animals. The "church lady" meant well, in her mind, but she doesn't "get it". No earthshaking news there.

But I also realize I need human interaction and, hopefully, am self aware enough to realize my own tendencies and thus, allow myself to accompany my wife to functions for her sake, our sake, and for myself. You'd have been proud of me. I accompanied to her choral concert and the dinner that followed last night!!!

O boy...nothing scares me more than a "religious" person on a mission...

This sounds incredibly rude and makes me wonder, along with others, how she got your number... What did hubby say about the call? I'm not saying it's his fault that she called but if she was with him at the time that she called, then why didn't he stop her? Are you sure he's okay with you not attending Sunday services?
Either way, she was out of line and I'd be equally rude if I were you.
