Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I've moved up here to NC... This is a post I did in myspace today because I told my cousin i was staying with my boyfriend Until I could find my own place:


My family... are "god called singers" (for anyone's information the bible never says anything about calling people to sing, simply to evangelize, preach, and be a missionary, and teach.) They think that anyone who commits any sin is supposed to be dealt with by God and themselves. They think that just because they preach that they are free to judge. They go around preaching their beleifs (which dont always necesarrily concide with the bible... or the way they live) and pushing them on others. They ASK for money when they go to different churches (maybe that's why they cant get an appointment in alabama anymore.) Jacob, I hope God deals with you and your family for the sins you are constantly committing daily. "Judge not lest ye be judged." What a perfect example of the so called Christianity that is pushing people away from Christ. Why is there a falling away? Because people like him are pushing them away by yelling in their faces and not being humble. Preachers have no right to judge. They are simply to speak the word of God as it is given them, not to carry out God's judgements. At least I didnt lie to them and tell them I was staying somewhere else or that I was wasting thousands of dollars at a hotel. My family is PROUD of me for being honest and an adult about all of this.








HEY,
i was just wandering what kind of christian can you be shacked up with a boy. You think it is ok, But by the Bible, you are living in SIN. No matter if you are just staying there for a while. I was just wandering, what about you wanting to be a missionary to JAPAN. Just to let you know God Don't call Woman to be missionaries. The Bible says for women to teach the young women. Anything else to do in the church a woman supposed to remain silent. I hated to break to you. But thats the Bible.

God will not use anybody that it is LIVING IN SIN. You will never Find a church to except you if you are shacked up. Those churches believe in living right, dressing right, doing the right things.

I wander if Paw Paw knows about you living there. I know he won't like it.

What you are doing is bringing a reproach against Paw Paw, and It is bringing a reproach against the Church. When you bring reproach against the church, the Lord will deal with you.

You might get mad at me but the way you're living is Wrong and I nor the rest of the family agree. so Martha I am praying for you.

For anyone else's information, I am not SHACKED UP with David. He's being a wonderful friend and letting me have a place to stay (on a blow up bed in his livingroom with a separate bathroom) until I can get a job, Which will only be to the end of this week. There's no difference in my staying here than in Ashley coming and staying FOREVER in jacob's room (which was more like an apartment) outside the house when they were dating. Or in Kendall staying with Clint. I regret nothing that I am doing here and I'm happier than I've ever been. That side of my family made my life miserable for years. I'm happy to finally be free of them. This bulliten wont be recieved by them as they have been removed from my friends list. I hope that God blesses them through their judgements. I hope they tell the world every last word that I wrote back to them. I hope that maybe something I said will open their eyes and they'll see how holier than thou that they have become. Did you know that one church wont even let my uncle preach there because he is divorced and remarried? Why do they continue to go to places like that? They suck up electricity from our church because their parents live there, and they have a recording studio. The church cant even handle the bills anymore. Do you think they're paying anything on them? not a single red cent. They dont even support the church. They are the ones bringing reproach on it, not me. The stupid idiots can barely even hold a job. At least I have sense enough to make my own way in life and not let my mother tell me everything to do. They're men with their own families and she still runs their lives. I wouldnt be suprized if she told them all when to go to the bathroom and just how to do it. I'm sick of their halo on to tight attitudes. I hope the world comes to know just what kind of people they are. I hope I can tell every church up here in North Carolina just what kind of Christians they're inviting to sing and preach at their churches. I can say this much. The boys really know how to work up the crowd. The people always get their money's worth in the services they pay the Davison's to preach at. I have NEVER agreed with their lives, but i've kept my mouth shut for the sake of keeping the family together. i know now that alabama is no longer my home and they are no longer my family. I have nothing left for them. I hope they're happy with themselves and that maybe one day they'll open their eyes and see how God has been dealing with them. They know the truth now, let's see what they do with it.


My reply to Jacob:

Jacob, I'm praying for you as well. If women are supposed to remain silent what are you going to do about your wife, your sister in laws and your mother? Are you going to say that our own grandmother was living in sin because she was on stage singing and wasnt silent in church. Let me tell you this, and this is a subject that Dad's preached in church many times, GOD DOESNT CALL SINGERS! You guys have always had a messed up halo on too tight religion. You are not worthy to judge anyone. By saying these things you are judging me and the bible says "judge not lest ye be judged." Who are you to speak for the rest of the family. At least my mother doesnt run my life. There's alot of things I've wanted to say to you and all of YOUR family that i've held back just because I wanted to keep the family together. You and your brothers are MEN with their own families... and your mother still tells you what to do and when to do it. I'm suprized she doesnt tell you when to go to the bathroom. I was proud of you for moving away and trying to be your own person. I thought maybe you would start to think for yourself. You may not even realize that your mother does all your thinking for you. We ask you where you're going to be and you say "I'll have to ask my mom." A preacher is supposed to keep his own books not let his mother do it for him. At least I'm making my own life for myself and being a REAL adult. I'm not going to depend on churches to pay my rent. God does provide for you... but he gives you sense enough to provide for yourself. Also, the church doesnt agree with your parents (we all know how bad uncle billy is but it's no excuse when you continue to go off and get the money from other churches) living at the church for no charge. It was better when aunt benita was cleaning at least she was paying her way... but a little something here and there when it can be spared wouldnt hurt anything and the church members would feel better. Also... who are ya'll to come into the church preaching about being here when you can when you guys are NEVER there. When our grandparents traveled they NEVER missed a single service. Our church is in need. You arent even supporting the church that's sending you out. Tithes just arent enough anymore... we're having to take on the extra bills from the electircity YOU use when you're there. Are you going to tell all the other women out there who God has called (for your information I never had any ideal to do anything other than teach the children wherever I was called to be) that they're wrong. Are you going to tell the rest of our family that they're wrong? What if I were staying with another friend who just happenned to be a guy? I'm sure plenty of people in our family have done just the same thing. [this section was edited because even though they're not my family I still love them and will not bring reproach apon them for a mistake made four years ago] Is that why Doug Bearden's church wont let Uncle Billy preach there? Because they believe in doing right? Are you going to tell your father that he's living in sin because he's divorced.[edited again out of love] It's not the whole family you speak for, just your own. Dad, my mother, my godmother, uncle gary and the whole rest of the family are PROUD of me. I'm making my OWN life now, and being my OWN person. I'm not going to depend on my family anymore for anything.
