You are very proud.

That Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder you mentioned is another name for pride.

You might as well be an atheist because you aren't doing God or Church a favour by worshipping God.

Oga go and seat down in the cinema at midnight abeg. What's the pride there? Is the church your house or God's house?

It's nt supposed to be so. In d sight of God all men are equal. In d house of God there shld be no favouritism. If really they practice wat they preach then nothing stops a governor from sitting next to a poor man in Church. Even d poor Nd sick came close to Jesus Nd instead of chasing them he welcomed them

Pheww! A breath of fresh air... At least someone understand's my plight. Thanks ojare

Storm ko walk ni. Learn to respect the laws governing a place that is not yours or you go form or build your own.

It isn't his father's house? Really? I thought it was. I guess that's why some of us meet in homes. We've made the choice between the family of God an the institution of God.

To each his own.

Thumbs up bro. In the house of God there shouldn't be division of personality. The body of Christ is one. I am ashamed of how far some Christians take this stuff. Mind you they are coming for your head. I like your boldness.

It's a province. It's not anybody's personal establishment. It's a church bro... Obviously, you're not intelligent. I'll let that slide and I won't reply you again.

Yes you are too much of a right claimer.... And a stubborn one for that matter...

Don't mind the writer,will he rushed out of his own father's house simply because somebody offended him? This type of church goers lack spiritual understanding .

sipsip:
Lol... I don't think I'll get a fair judgement here... Maybe if the mods can give me more audience? Lalasticlala, mynd44?

You protested against what you consider an injustice and unjust rule.
You did well.

sipsip:


Noo. That know protocol na. It's always just one lady who sits there. She's to direct new comers and all that... Moreover, she only sits when new comers are being announced. No one was sitting there when I did. An elderly woman sat with me, they didn't say nothing to her oo. What if the church was filled up? Won't they create that space for people?

please have it in mind that i'm not judging
But if I want to go with your post...... you might be the type that get angry when you have been corrected
And the type that want to do what he has been told not to do or what you do not suppose to do (to see what will happen)

I'm not defining you, just my opinion


Back to the main point
Walking out of the church shows that you are not there for God
I believe you did not leave your house because you want to seat at the front row in church

SirAweezy:
"Ego personality disorder" you need to check this... don't seat here is don't seat here just obey!

Really
Hmmmm,
Since the church belongs to the province,
Going by your premise, negro America won't enjoy some of it's freedom today.

"Rosa Parks
Claudette Colvin (b, September 5, 1939) is a African American woman from Alabama. In 1955, at the age of 15, she refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus to a white person, in violation of local law. Her arrest preceded civil rights activist Rosa Parks' (on December 1, 1955) by nine months."

Besides I doubt if Jesus will welcome the practice of who sits where in a church, private or otherwise irrespective of it's human laws.

So u go to church to fight ushers for seat. And u want us to know u are doing the right thing. If what u hear from pulpit cant change u nobody on nairaland can. Not until when u take d kingdom of God like a baby and not fighting for what is not in the house of God. So make sure u 'storm in' at the next service and sit at the place u are ushered to sit.

as u go out rapture took place..u will go to hell

Interesting viewpoint.
Please show us where rapture is meant for only those in the church building at the time?
If rapture happened immediately after the Good Samaritan helped the injured traveler, would he not have been raptured while the priest and levite are left behind?

bro..Although the ushers did act wrongly.

But nothing justifies walking out of the presence of God..You yourself mentioned worship.I'm very sure it was God you were worshiping at that moment. So could just let them play out their foolishness.

Try calming yourself for the sake of God atleast...I know it's not pride but annoyance made you work out..But remember the God factor.

I believe if it was in a government house or gathering Wre prominent men appear you would respect yourself and kindly obey the Urshers but its because its a province that why you rebelled against them...my brother the way people act in the presence of God makes me wonder if they think God is lawless or has no policy...its obvious you never attended that church with a heart of worship...you think your doing God..your doing yourself..even if everybody in that church leaves ....God remaineth God

Op, you lack manners and irresponsible to even argue such. There has been an order that the place has been reserved for protocols and you were advised to look for another place of which you felt bad and wants to know if what you did is wrong. Not only wrong but shows that you have undeveloped mind and I wonder if you ever went to school or maybe you lack parental upbringing.That shows the kind of home you come from.

In developed world like America, when you get to car park, you will notice a place reserved for handicapped individuals, even if the car park has been occupied, you cannot park your car at that place reserved for them and if you do, you will get a ticket.

The church is a house of God where anybody both the sinners n righteous, protocols and non-protocols are all welcomed. Creating a dermarcation in the church in the name of special sit is ridiculous. You came early u went to the front row to sit that is what is supposed to be.
Reserving sit for a protocol who is still in his house bathing and contemplating whether to attend or not is arrant nonsense.
That is why i love catholic church i can come on time and sit anywhere and close to any body protocol n non protocol. Who you epp.
Even the usher that saw u where leaving n left u to leave did not know she has failed in her primary duty as an usher which is to welcome everyone and make them feeel at home.
My brother u did notin wrong. Its not Ego problem. Is just the church's way of telling you that you are inconsequential.

Thank you o jare. You're there.

Now please read and judge with care and concern. I arrived the church today for the second service. After Sunday school I was contemplating if I should sit where I am or move to the front. Now I have this Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder. One of them is sitting at the back in any gathering. I don't like it. Right from time... After thinking of it for a while, I take my stuffs and move to the front row. The second row has been fully occupied. Thing is my church is a province, a fairly large one. Nobody really sits in the front row... Partly because they don't like being in the view of everyone and also because it's reserved for 'protocol'. Kinda. Keep following...

Being that I'm always in the second row, I've noticed over time that just one or two protocols sit on the first row every Sunday. It's a row with about ten or more seats. Now I don't mind sitting there cause I don't like to be at the back. Have in mind it's not the ministers or 'first timers' seat. Those one are on one side. Everyone knows. I'm sitting in the front row in the middle of worship when an Usher comes to me and say I can't seat there. "Why? I asked." he said it's for protocol. Protocol? Not ministers oo. I told him I don't want to sit at the back. Moreover no one is going to sit there. What if the church was filled up, won't people sit there? He goes to call another Usher who says the same thing.

To cut the story short, I told them since the church is now their own house, I'm leaving. Moreover, I was already getting angry which is not good for worship. I left even with everyone staring and all... Tell me, did I do wrong? Any one with such unnecessary protocol experience? Maybe I'm too much of a 'right claimer'?

sumtimes I begin to wonder where the word of God we do hear almost everyday what effect does it impact in our lives. I can't just keep wondering.

Thank God U knw d rules.... Are u a /in protocol?
Rom 13:1-2 talks about world leadership how much more church leadership

jake2much:
he left wit a bad heart

You don't know his heart, nor its state.

Well I believe both of u made a mistake probably his approach to u was harsh and on ur side u did not remember that u went to church to honour and serve God not human.You should not leave the present of God for any reason rather find a way to adopt to the situation because as a Christian u should learn to be patient to get the best from God not human

ladyF:
You no try o.

Let me tell you what to do. Next week, carry rope to church and tie your leg to the front seat. Dem no fit do you anything!!! Them no write anybody name for there abeg.

It's LadyF again.

Anger, when justified, is not bad.
Read your Bible.

divicode:


Smh, writing as if you are the financier of the church. Storm out or storm in, God will still be God! You are too insignificant to help God
I am sure you think going to church is to help God abi? May I announce to you that no mortal created being will ever help God! Going to church is for your soul.
Read the thread, the devil's children are already hailing you, some even telling you to stop going, church!

Does going to church make one a christian?

Bro i understand ur point here, i don't think it is wrong for the ushers to tell you not to sit where u have sitted. I know u feel inferior or i my not part of the church or whatsoever. But things are judged or view differently wen it involved things of God; humility, ordeliness, meekness, love, obedient, tolerance.

sipsip:


I just really want to believe you don't understand the settings I projected. I was not being disobedient or stubborn. I just felt it was wrong for the Usher to do that, in the middle of worship? Abs I don't see church as an 'organization' bro. It's a house of God. Plus, I'm a bona-fide member so I know the rules and what is applicable.

Noo. No one was sitting there when I did. An elderly woman sat with me, they didn't say nothing to her oo. What if the church was filled up? Won't they create that space for people?

I support you totally, I believe you did the right thing. I have stormed out of a church cos I my sit was too close to the speakers (I detest loudness). I changed my sit but the ushers tried to coax me to return to the sit they assigned me, I refused & when the pestering became coercion I left. I believe ushers have an important role to play in the church, but should overlook some things people do because "we are the church".... Not the buildings, not the chairs.......

You already knew the seats were reserved

But the over-do sprit in you just refused to stand down

Taaaa those usher were nice

They should have escorted you out. Undertaker style

God Bless you. Houses of God seats must be on a basis of first come first seated. VIPs sitting next to paupers. I don't get why Nigerian churches segregate like that.

No He's not...

Thanks dear.

To hell wit ur bonafide membership. Go to the police and sit where u are not asked to...sorry is ur name. U attitude shows u cannot be corrected which is pure pride because u feel right in ur eyes#bullshit

You didn't do it right at all, you should have grabbed a stone when you went out then come back and break the pastors head.

Church is a place of worship anybody can seat anywhere, the Bible warned Rabi about making a special seat for theirselve in a place of worship they probably didn't have that verse in their Bible..... corns
