The only reasonable song this guy dropped is just smoke some weed, after that no more cos he used all his sense for the song

Wrong Wrong Wrong! Just say you dont really know about him or his songs.

davidif:
Wow! You are so childish and petulant. Really? In the house of God? Na wa o

And that's all you have to say? Read your comment, did you make any sensible point one can gain from?

obstead200:
Ok lemme help u.
When a church reserve seat for protocol, that means such seats are reserved in case some VIP (governor, commissioner, ambassador, pastor from another church etc) visits the church. It will guarantee that they get a place to sit no matter how late they arrive. And the pastor would like to accord them some respect and maybe recognise them in the course of the service.

Now take that ur personality disorder, enter the nearest vehicle to bar beach, tie the disorder around ur neck (am sure it must be quite heavy) and then just jump into the ocean.

You were beginning to make sense initially oo. But obviously, that's where your sense stopped, initially.

haeyhins:
Hello sir,

I was taken by your story and had assumed that you came here to seek peoples' candid opinion about your action.

Am surprised you wana counter and haul insult at anyone who isnt saying that which you wish to hear. That alone is another disorder.

Jesus whom you went to worship, gave to caesar what belong to him, why not you? (Like you implied, the church wasnt even filled to capacity, meaning there were spare seats)...Thought we were taught to be christ-like....humility bestows honour..pride goes before destruction. TAKE HEED...Bless you!

No sir, I didn't insult no one. I only talked back at people who can't make their points known without being disrespectful. The spare seats were at the back. Places you'll only watch projectors for. I don't feel that. But I get you. Thanks.

LordofNairaland:
Don't mind that guy. That was how I was in a church on the invitation of a friend when the pastor entered with bodyguards (protocols). One of them pushed me out of the way (I was not obstructing the Pastor o). I grabbed him from behind and told him that next time he tried that nonsense with me, I will give him a slap that will make him run into the bush and become a madman forever. I raised my shirt and showed him my charm to let him know that I am a confirmed Ogun priest.

Hahaha. As hard as I find this hard to believe! It's super hilarious.

INDUSTRIALFAN:
sorry. I pressed the report button when trying to quote you.
anyways, I was here to say THUMBS UP MAN.... I attended Winners in Benin some months back and I realized no one is allowed to park in the big premises except Protocol whether you come first or not and it got me pissed. I am a Catholic but I attend other churches sometimes. I once attended House on the Rock in Lagos on the Island and on that particular day, Pastor Paul Adefarasin said sth that made me love that church the more and gladdened my soul. He said " This is God's own house. Not mine, not the rich, nor the poor. no one has a special seat except on the alter. If you want to have a seat in front on the church, you must come early to church. I don't care how much money you've got but of you come to church late and there isn't no seat in front, sit behind. No man is more important than the other in the presence of God." Damn.... That man earned my respect that day....

Wow.... Nice one bro. I feel you.

Adextaiwo48:
Somethings we do in the house of the lord, we can't do it in social gatherings... When you know you don't like the back seat then you should have come earlier... And it its a class, and you came late you won't dare go to the front not to talk of fighting about sitting in front or not... A wi tan o tun sope Storm out... Storm out koor hurricane out ni... Alakori!!!

Did you even read the post at all? For the uptinth time, I came early! I read even in Sunday school! Damn...

andyanders:
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.

Your example doesn't actually fit in but I won't banter words with you. I'm sure you're not even close to what I've achieved or seen in life. In every way. Watch who you call undeveloped and illiterate bro. Not everyone you see on the road is everyone you see on the road.

bestspoke:
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.

@sipsip

True. I was angry and realized my worship for that day would be wasted even if I stayed. Cause of the mood of was in.

BiniShrine:
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.

Bro, once I quickly evaluate in my mind's eye and I realize I'm not wrong, I stick with my gun. I'm no push over.

edebemba:
You have no excuse, oh man! You disobeyed constituted authority which the Bible speaks against. Do not be like King Saul who disobeyed God's order and tried to justify his actions. The house of God is not a lawless place.
Whatever kind of personality you may have- complex or inferior or both, always drop it at home when going to church. If you desire to sit at a particular seat in the church , wake up early enough and go to the church before every other person. It is not proper to come in late and still want to be treated as a VIP.

That's why you should read first sir. I didn't come late. Infact, I was in Sunday school.

sodeide2013:
You are in church to worship God. Never allow anyone or anything distract you like that. It maybe there is a particular blessing or word for you in that service today. You go to where they say, don't worry it is God's house and God's gathering. If they are disrespectful God himself judges these things but don't let such things get to you. Pray and ask God for forgiveness and grace

Thanks. I feel you. I appreciate your sincerity and maturity.

Statsocial:
Since there was still spaces at the back you should have obeyed the ushers. They were acting on instructions and didn't mean to hurt your emotions. Never let anger drive you out of Church again.

So you understand what my OCPD mean bro? Just because you don't have issues like that doesn't mean it's not possible.

Eliz24:
Obviously you are feeling guilty, if not you wouldn't have shared it to listen to people's opinion. One thing to note is that, anywhere you gather in the name of Christ, God is present. Even if the ushers were wrong, that shouldn't stop you from doing the right. Their attitude must not determine your reaction. Find and know your identity, determine to be yourself irrespective of pressure people may apply.

Thanks. Seems you were right there. The attitude determined my reaction.

HEFAIROHLUWA:
The problem with christains nowadays is that when they correct they correct as if they have never made the same type of mistake before.


If they asked politely I do not see the reason you shouldnt heed them. If it is their policy in the church that latecomers shouldnt sit at the front then RESPECT that.
But if they just did that on purpose then you should have not acted like a d**k like they did. (lol)
Anger/pride destroys things trust me. I wouldnt judge you--similar case has happened to me---Lecturer things. ( Made me resit a course then at school)the only course I had to repeat.

#ONELOVE

Please read my post well. I didn't come late. I was even there for Sunday school. That's even before service starts.

Triplehawkeyes:
Firstly I don't think you did wrong wanting to sit in front, not with all the noise at the back, kids laughing and other disturbance, you would want to sit in front, secondly, it's God's house and you can sit anywhere you want, no one paid you transport to church, and as you rightly observed it's mostly empty and not always occupied but I think you over reacted, maybe next time you could have just asked them can I just sit here for today? Or joked with them saying hmm I think I will like to join protocol so I can sit here and hear the message well, you could have handled it better, please try your best, it isn't easy but it still won't have taken anything from you to move to the back for the message sake, if you were the protocol lady or usher what would you have done to you in that situation

I get you. But it was almost impossible to reason with them like that, it was in the middle of worship. Plus the first roll means so eyes on us... You dig?

Goandie:
this is the question the Op is asking that pple are just tackling him with studded boot.
i personally mite no walk out of the church like how he did but i will not leav that seat till d church service is over, coz it is Yaweh house

Mind you they were about 10 seats in that roll oo. Empty. The range kinda days members seat on. When it was crossover service, why did they allow people seat on them?

KingOfThePay:
OP you did the right thing. A church is not a social gathering where people are categorized or given preference base on status or protocols whatsoever -but a place of worship, therefore there is no such things as preference on where member should sit. Only the pastor and anointed men of God should have a preferred stated area of sitting around the alter.
To those saying OP did wrong or embarrassed himself whatsoever, I simply don't know how to classify you all. Low esteem and status

Thank you Sir. Right on time.

sleek82:
I am sorry to tell you this....you may not get anybody to tell you what you want to hear but let me analyse this to you.....you said the seat is for protocol (this tells me you knew it was for protocol) regardless of how many protocols seat there every sunday (it still doesnt mean its the same number that sat last week that will seat this week)...you probably were treated that way because they thought you should know better as you are not a new member of the church. Im sure if this was your first time in this church, you wouldn't have sat there or you would have gladly sat somewhere else after they told you to.....you might feel they embarrassed you but honestly, you brought it upon yourself. I may feel the same way if i were in your shoes but reflecting back, i would know i was wrong in the first place

Thanks. I think you made sense, constructively. Appreciated.

zicoraads:
He is wrong. Even the Bible admonishes us to obey laid down rules and regulations. Every church has seats reserved for elders, pastors and deacons. I am certain he went and sat in one of those. Nothing stopped him from taking one step back.

I am certain if he went to an occasion outside the church, he won't go near the front seats that have been reserved for certain dignitaries. And he won't storm out either. Wrong is wrong.

You're certain. Seriously? The fact that you're certain... Got nothing to say.

africanusvu:
WATS PROTOCOL PLS I AM A CATHOLIC.IT SOUNDS STRANGE TO ME

When they call first timers, the protocol unit ushers them to an office in the church where they are attended to.

josite:
u must be a very small size man.u can tell the size of a man by the kind of things that get him angry.upgrade

And you must be a short thinking guy. So once there's something wrong and you point it, you're small sized? And yeah... I'm 5 11. I don't think that's short.

otunbadan:
so if you went to us embassy or uk embassy to collect the visa you applied for, or job interview and you were told to please go to the back, wont you respectfully do so, why act different because you are in church

Because the US and UK embassies are their own country's properties. The Church is God's house. Plus, I didn't do no wrong. Read again.

indoorscholar:
He has OCD (Google it). He can't stay in the back for obvious psychological reasons. Besides are we not equal in the eyes of God?

I support your decision to leave the church, praying with anger is not a good thing, however you should have handled the matter better

Next time just move to d next seat.on a different note, hope you're treating ur OCD?

Thanks man. Mature talk there.

donogaga:
You stormed out of the church, He's still God.

You disobeyed the instructions of the ushers, He's still God.

You claim right even when you are obviously wrong, He's still God.

Bro, there's need for you to respect constituted authorities. It's simple. Don't be proud.

You must respect yourself, especially when you are in the House of God/place of worship.

God bless you.

I realize some people just like to sound smart. Congrats

TakeMeSerious:
You shouldn't have said this.

Allow him. He probably is a juvenile.

cocoberry:
No He's not...

Thanks dear.

Norasparkle:
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.

admax:
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?

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.

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

Biggcake:
There are laid down rules governing every establishment.....
These laws were made by the members/leaders of this establishment.

If you find out that you are not comfortable with the law, then quietly take a walk out of the premises...

MYJUDGEMENT...
Youngman, you disobeyed the leaders of the Church by disobeying the Ushers. Therefore , your conduct is wrong.

You are hereby pronounce guilty as charged.....

you are sentence to 3months community service ...

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

skeendyke:
It is very plain you were in the wrong. You are not submissive to the church authority. Your compulsive disorder is a lame justification for that. Comply with the rules of any organization you find yourself. It is common sense.

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? And 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.
