I think I have a problem.

I have this one friend of mine and we've been in very good terms till a few weeks ago. Well, we are still in good terms but I fonud out something about her and it's bothering me because my family doesn't want me to hang out with her anymore.


We're both Christians and we sometimes talk about our faith and God when we meet. One day, she told me something abnormal to do at church and that got me into thinking that her church might be paganistic. I mean, what kind of church is associated with talking to souls in Hell?


I met her pastor and she didn't look like a pastor. I feel sorry for her because I didn't think she looks like one but she really didn't. When I first saw her, she looked like a housewife who just woke up from a nap. She was wearing a pair of slippers, too.


My friend keeps touching in with me and I can't just stop seeing her because I like her besides the way she believes in God. I think she is trying to make me go to her church regularly but I really don't want to because I have my church where I go with my family every Sunday.


Also, I am really bad at saying "no". So, I just said "yes" when the other pastor asked me to join the Bible Study. I honestly don't know what to do.... I know it's my fault but if only she doesn't try to make me go to her church. Of course, I don't know how her church is really like but I decided to obey what my family told me. All of them want me to stop keeping in touch with her because of her church and her belief.


 I know I need to say "no" for something that I don't feel like doing. But at the same time, I hope they (my friend and people at her church) don't try to get closer to me so that I will change my church. To tell you the truth, it's pretty frustrating.


I thought about helping her come out of her church and people's abnormal faith. But I decided not to because I don't know how her church is really like and there's a chance that we might argue. The thing is, she's been a Christian for only about a year and she doesn't know whether her church is paganistic or not.


It's sad to have to stop being her friend just because of her church. But what my family said is more important than her. So I should stop keeping in touch with her. All I need to do is ignoring her text messages, calls and messages in Cyworld. It's just that I feel so horrible to do something like that.


I didn't even congratulate her birthday or give a birthday gift to her because my mom told me not to since giving will make us closer. I really hope I can come up with a wise idea but I can't at the moment. I think I should seriously think about what to do.


Have a great weekend, everyone. I will see you mon Monday in a computer lab. See you, everyone.

  1. Yes, that does sound like a serious problem. But you're smart. I'm sure you'll know what to do... Both of my parents are/were pastors and I grew up as a Christian. I've seen my share of fanatics and weirdos.
