A Passion For Truth Part 3
In my previous posts, I have discussed Kelvin's and Thomas / Irene's case.
This time, I will be citing the most eagerly awaited example of negativity and inflexibility in BEC.
You do not need to pressurize parents into forcing their children to come every Wednesday and Saturday. Especially Wednesday, since that is a weekday and some people may be tied up with their homework. Some also live far away from BEC, and it will be very late by the time they get home. And they still have got to go to school the next day.
Comments along the lines of "you haven't been praying hard enough for your children" will be directed at parents if their children are somehow absent during Wednesdays and Saturdays. In turn, the parents will reprimand their children for not turning up. But let's face it, they are simply not interested in attending the Wednesday and Saturday sessions!! Why do you need to pressurize their parents into forcing their children to turn up?
Can't you respect the decision of others? Is it mightily hard to do so, for you? I don't know. Is it because you're all old and "wise" and expect everything to be done to your liking? Does the world owe you a living, at all?
And even if parents stated the reasons about their children having school the next day and stuff like that, it would be deemed unacceptable. Nothing but a "life and death matter" is deemed an acceptable enough reason for one to miss a Wednesday or Saturday session. Comments like "you must have more faith" will be found hurtling your way if you state reasons such as having to go to school the next day. But obviously not everyone feels the same way.
Under contract law, they call this undue influence. Although there's no contract being signed here, the scenario's pretty similar. I take my hat off you. You really know how to pressurize others into doing things they actually don't want to do. I wish this were a contract though, so at least the contractees can vitiate it all because of undue influence.
I do not think children of position holders in BEC should be subjected to a more befitting code of conduct just because their parents are position holders in the church. Children of position holders in BEC are still children, and they have to attend school. They have to do homework. Best of all, they have a life.
Please be flexible, and don't always resort to the award winning phrase "put God first" whenever you've got nothing left to say but just want to save your pride anyway. Everybody's tired of hearing that.
Give us a break, thank you. And save your self righteousness and inflexibility for yourselves.
