the church.

is full of hypocrites, and yes i have known this for some while, but it is like they say things about someone and then do a complete 180 when it comes to the confrontation. DANECHAPMAN has never disappointed me as much has he did today. The only thing I got out of that meeting is that the parents have failed Andy and the youth need to suck it up and not do fellowship. and then sherry staples had the audacity to call out Katie's mother and say that she formed a lynch group against Andy. Even my mother did the "oh shit, did she really say that" face when I told her. Oh and the other thing I got out of this is that Jim was a horrible youth pastor and that all he did was play games with us. FYI you badwords my faith was strongest with Jim. I felt like I could go to him with any problems and that he really cared. I can't do that with Andy. he just can't relate. he thinks saying I'm sorry for your problem and handing you a bible verse and sending you off on your way solves problems. NO, it does not work that way. And then brittany she always says stuff about andy, but when it comes to her coming and voicing her issues: a no show. And then Gabriella's parents, ms. chapman, miss julie, miss staples, dane, lindsey... all they did was say how Jim wasn't doing his job and he didn't teach us. and in lindsey's words "youth is not a play pen." It wasn't a play pen and I can't see why she said because she enjoyed youth group with Jim and we did do lessons. And she doesn't like andy that much either, she talks about him behind his back as much of the rest of us do...

and no one even bothered listening to Katie, even when she was stating her views calmly and objectively.

it's just so frustrating. i'm venting to amanda right now. i'm lucky to have her and i love her so much and i just feel as though i take her friendship for granted sometimes.
I need to make it up to her somehow, but we'll see what the future holds.
