US nursing has different cadre of registration,which I guess a 3year RN graduate here will only be qualified as an LPN in US,

No, it depends on which exam you take, either LPN or RN. Check the relevant board for details on certification.

Jesus said, if you are on your way to offer your sacrifice and by the alter you remember that your brother has an odd against you(he is the one with the issue, not you), he said, you should drop the offering there and go and First make peace before coming to offering your sacrifice.


True.

I just reread the particular chapter in Silas Marner, the problem was not even the ostracism per se (which was implied but not actually described, my bad), but the presumption of guilt and refusal to believe his innocence.

In addition, the lots were cast and also proclaimed him guilty, then his intended wife also married his best friend.

So he left.

What brought Silas Manner into this? Silas Manner's case was a misunderstanding and betrayal by his friend. When he got to where he decided to settledown, he didn't trust anyone to associate with.
Well, if you noticed, the op didnt mentioned what led to him/her being shunned, that's if that is what it is.
All I said was, tell us what happened so that when we take the pastor to the cleaners, we will be doing Justly. But if we malign the pastor and he is not wrong, what then?

Very few people maligned the pastor, most simply said the op should leave the church.

There are threads maligning pastors, you can check those and contribute there if you want.

The abridged version of Silas Marner doesnt give the account of how he was ostracized, the original book is much longer and has those details. He was ostracized and his fiancee also got engaged to his frenemy afterwards. That was when he left the church.

never say Nigeria is not that bad because you will be attacked.

The lady you quoted is still at a certain level but maybe things will work out well for her and the others she's mentioning, if God wills.

@oloriooko run for your life.I didnt bother reading the entirety of what u posted !

Sometimes it's about rightly discerning what the war is about.

Usually, ostracism is one of the first steps to an all out attack both spiritual and physical.

However, it's not necessarily a general rule but then might be better to err on the side of caution.

I didn't threaten the op. What's the thread there?
I just said he should tell us what happened truthfully. We are good at chewing others up when we keep to ourselves what we don't want others to know.

Before we send the pastor to the cleaners, WHAT HAPPENED?



You threatened him and implied he only voiced his concern because he is trying to make trouble for pastors. Where did you see that in his post?

Compare with actual threads where pastors are castigated by posters (mostly money related threads), and tell me if this one falls into that category.

The only reason for this situation mentioned (if there is one), is if the church practices ostracism as a means of discipline, because some older church practices do that (check Silas Marner), not sure if Nigerians have this as a religious behaviour but it's possible. I generally regard it as a cultural thing but it could also be religion based as well.

And yes, as I mentioned before, is the op aware of what may have led to what he described. I agree with you on that.

What happened?
People hate pastors, now you have put him on a crucible and people are chewing him up, hope you realise that, if you have a hand in what is going on, and you are here robbing him on the floor, you will pay?

So, tell the truth, only sinners lie. What happened?


The mode of presentation is what I'm looking at here.

The op did not insult the pastor, and neither did he use abusive language in his post.

He said his impression is the pastor hates him and the members are following suit without giving him a chance to explain or make amends for whatever it is they feel he did.

In essence, in his opinion, he is being ostracized for some reason. What that reason is, is what we dont know. Whether the op knows, is a matter of conjecture pending clarification.


As per people's comments on the tread, so far the majority have not been insultive, most simply advised him to leave the church.

In addition, imo you do not allow outsiders to bias you against your family members unless there is a deeper problem which needs to be addressed.

I hope this will not be the same thing as when she went to Liberia to lead the anti rape movement.

An entire industry followed that, with rape now being regarded as a synonym for sex and vice versa.

Oh well, war on the genders no be today.

Religion / Re: Help! My Pastor Hates Me! by itstpia8: 7:18pm On Apr 24, 2016
Op you havent told the full story.

When did the pastor join the church?

What is the pastor's history as well as his history with you?

Who does the pastor interact with, check them and see if any know you from somewhere.

What issues have been in the church recently?

What is the political situation where you come from? Where the pastor comes from?

Have you had any recent promotion, change in status, etc which is causing resentment in others?

Do you have various third parties who are not members but who handle the affairs of the church?


What is your history- family background, etc.

Did you offend anyone? What was the story?


etc etc.

Assuming the matter can be resolved that is. Not everything can, in which case just move somewhere else or switch churches.

My opinion.

Hello, being a guest of nairaland for very long time i decided to register to know more about this. Getting through with my degree and i always dream of living in abroad outside my country but i don't have anybody in abroad like Canada, USA etc. How can i do it or how can it be possible for me to fulfil my dream.

google it.

What type of visa are you looking for? Temporary, permanent, work related, tourist, student, govt/politics, ?


Yes, you have people abroad, there is no part of Nigeria that doesnt, but perhaps they are not settled themselves and so can not render much assistance?
