Now please read and judge with care and concern. I arrived the church today for the second service. After Sunday school I was contemplating if I should sit where I am or move to the front. Now I have this Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder. One of them is sitting at the back in any gathering. I don't like it. Right from time... After thinking of it for a while, I take my stuffs and move to the front row. The second row has been fully occupied. Thing is my church is a province, a fairly large one. Nobody really sits in the front row... Partly because they don't like being in the view of everyone and also because it's reserved for 'protocol'. Kinda. Keep following...

Being that I'm always in the second row, I've noticed over time that just one or two protocols sit on the first row every Sunday. It's a row with about ten or more seats. Now I don't mind sitting there cause I don't like to be at the back. Have in mind it's not the ministers or 'first timers' seat. Those one are on one side. Everyone knows. I'm sitting in the front row in the middle of worship when an Usher comes to me and say I can't seat there. "Why? I asked." he said it's for protocol. Protocol? Not ministers oo. I told him I don't want to sit at the back. Moreover no one is going to sit there. What if the church was filled up, won't people sit there? He goes to call another Usher who says the same thing.

To cut the story short, I told them since the church is now their own house, I'm leaving. Moreover, I was already getting angry which is not good for worship. I left even with everyone staring and all... Tell me, did I do wrong? Any one with such unnecessary protocol experience? Maybe I'm too much of a 'right claimer'?

Yes you are too much of a right claimer.... And a stubborn one for that matter...

Storm ko walk ni. Learn to respect the laws governing a place that is not yours or you go form or build your own.

It's a province. It's not anybody's personal establishment. It's a church bro... Obviously, you're not intelligent. I'll let that slide and I won't reply you again.

"Ego personality disorder" you need to check this... don't seat here is don't seat here just obey!

You handled it badly.

If it was me, I'd just simply smile and tell them I am protocol. Simple. Na my papa house.

But then again, maybe you should just stick to sitting at the back.

Noo. That know protocol na. It's always just one lady who sits there. She's to direct new comers and all that... Moreover, she only sits when new comers are being announced. No one was sitting there when I did. An elderly woman sat with me, they didn't say nothing to her oo. What if the church was filled up? Won't they create that space for people?

I think u should have listened to them though the whole case is absurd, seats being reserved for special people, by walking out of the church I've allowed silly laws chase u away from church, and u shouldn't blame the ushers, they are just obeying instructions though it can be annoying.

No matter it is, I sound rude to knock your head. Religious places are not places to show of your small might or ego.

Try that in a shrine if you will not be used to appease the gods.

You came late for that matter and had the effrontery to disturb those who came before you. You think ushers are meant for decoration? Go and sit where your usher tell you to sit or go open a church where you can sit where you want

Lawlessness everywhere.

There are laid down rules governing every establishment.....
These laws were made by the members/leaders of this establishment.

If you find out that you are not comfortable with the law, then quietly take a walk out of the premises...

MYJUDGEMENT...
Youngman, you disobeyed the leaders of the Church by disobeying the Ushers. Therefore , your conduct is wrong.

You are hereby pronounce guilty as charged.....

you are sentence to 3months community service ...

It is very plain you were in the wrong. You are not submissive to the church authority. Your compulsive disorder is a lame justification for that. Comply with the rules of any organization you find yourself. It is common sense.

I just really want to believe you don't understand the settings I projected. I was not being disobedient or stubborn. I just felt it was wrong for the Usher to do that, in the middle of worship? Abs I don't see church as an 'organization' bro. It's a house of God. Plus, I'm a bona-fide member so I know the rules and what is applicable.

You are actually at fault here. You should have simply obeyed and moved back. As simple as it seemed, it infuriated you

Smh, writing as if you are the financier of the church. Storm out or storm in, God will still be God! You are too insignificant to help God
I am sure you think going to church is to help God abi? May I announce to you that no mortal created being will ever help God! Going to church is for your soul.
Read the thread, the devil's children are already hailing you, some even telling you to stop going, church!

pentecostal Churches sef

You did the right thing. Don't go back to that "protocol" church. Just spend your tithe on yourself. But who da f*$k is "Protocol"??

Na only u waka out
Sorry church sef fan get vvip, vip and regular seats

They told u it was for protocol, are u part oof the protocol? Besides, the church wasn't filled up yet

The church is a house of God where anybody both the sinners n righteous, protocols and non-protocols are all welcomed. Creating a dermarcation in the church in the name of special sit is ridiculous. You came early u went to the front row to sit that is what is supposed to be.
Reserving sit for a protocol who is still in his house bathing and contemplating whether to attend or not is arrant nonsense.
That is why i love catholic church i can come on time and sit anywhere and close to any body protocol n non protocol. Who you epp.
Even the usher that saw u where leaving n left u to leave did not know she has failed in her primary duty as an usher which is to welcome everyone and make them feeel at home.
My brother u did notin wrong. Its not Ego problem. Is just the church's way of telling you that you are inconsequential.
