That should tell you must be doing something right.

But please forgive them for they do not what they are doing.

So?

Well I don't know who the "they" is who wouldn't tell you the time. But if it were me, I would simply not go. But that is just me. If they refuse to accept my beliefs I refuse to respect theirs.

That SUCKS 110% in my opinion.
They seem to have conveniently forgotten about the " Do unto others as you have them do unto you" bit as well as the " Judge not lest you too be judged," don't you think?
With family/friends like that you definitely DO NOT need ENEMIES and that is ONE of the reasons why I turned my back on my 3 remaining siblings.

Do you really want to eat with people who obviously don't want you there?

I'm sorry for you, but they suck!

That would be enough to make me say ok See Ya Wouldn't Wanna Be Ya

I am sorry you were snubbed over not being at their church. I hope you ask your bro...I am sure this was hurtful. I hope you were able to get to the restaurant.

Wow sorry your fam is a bunch of a-holes

Wow... when I read stories like this I am so thankful I don’t need to deal with this sort of thing in my family. I’m sorry you had to deal with that nonsense on what should have been a nice day. Not to be too flippant, but if I was in that situation I would definitely pull the “What would Jesus do?” card. It seems like a good time to pull it.

I would've suggested that you might take a book and wait until you see them either leave the church, or show up at the restaurant. How sad that they were so rude and intolerant of them.

The immaturity of the over self righteous. I am so sorry.

I would have waited until they left for church then packed my bags and gone home. Nobody should put up with such spitefulness and disrespect.

Pack up & LEAVE, NOW!

Just nasty. I hope that was the only incident. Now they will wondering, "why does Greg hardly ever come to visit?"

I would never have sat down and shared a meal with those people after that.

Oh for christ sake, how fucking petty can they get......for sure they are "children" of god.

Again I'm overwhelmed by the manifestation of christian love.

immature asshats. :/
