bestspoke:
bro..Although the ushers did act wrongly.

But nothing justifies walking out of the presence of God..You yourself mentioned worship.I'm very sure it was God you were worshiping at that moment. So could just let them play out their foolishness.

Try calming yourself for the sake of God atleast...I know it's not pride but annoyance made you work out..But remember the God factor.

@sipsip

True. I was angry and realized my worship for that day would be wasted even if I stayed. Cause of the mood of was in.

BiniShrine:
Thumbs up bro. In the house of God there shouldn't be division of personality. The body of Christ is one. I am ashamed of how far some Christians take this stuff. Mind you they are coming for your head. I like your boldness.

Bro, once I quickly evaluate in my mind's eye and I realize I'm not wrong, I stick with my gun. I'm no push over.

edebemba:

You have no excuse, oh man! You disobeyed constituted authority which the Bible speaks against. Do not be like King Saul who disobeyed God's order and tried to justify his actions. The house of God is not a lawless place.
Whatever kind of personality you may have- complex or inferior or both, always drop it at home when going to church. If you desire to sit at a particular seat in the church , wake up early enough and go to the church before every other person. It is not proper to come in late and still want to be treated as a VIP.

That's why you should read first sir. I didn't come late. Infact, I was in Sunday school.

sodeide2013:
You are in church to worship God. Never allow anyone or anything distract you like that. It maybe there is a particular blessing or word for you in that service today. You go to where they say, don't worry it is God's house and God's gathering. If they are disrespectful God himself judges these things but don't let such things get to you. Pray and ask God for forgiveness and grace

Thanks. I feel you. I appreciate your sincerity and maturity.

Statsocial:

Since there was still spaces at the back you should have obeyed the ushers. They were acting on instructions and didn't mean to hurt your emotions. Never let anger drive you out of Church again.

So you understand what my OCPD mean bro? Just because you don't have issues like that doesn't mean it's not possible.

Eliz24:
Obviously you are feeling guilty, if not you wouldn't have shared it to listen to people's opinion. One thing to note is that, anywhere you gather in the name of Christ, God is present. Even if the ushers were wrong, that shouldn't stop you from doing the right. Their attitude must not determine your reaction. Find and know your identity, determine to be yourself irrespective of pressure people may apply.

Thanks. Seems you were right there. The attitude determined my reaction.

HEFAIROHLUWA:
The problem with christains nowadays is that when they correct they correct as if they have never made the same type of mistake before.


If they asked politely I do not see the reason you shouldnt heed them. If it is their policy in the church that latecomers shouldnt sit at the front then RESPECT that.
But if they just did that on purpose then you should have not acted like a d**k like they did. (lol)
Anger/pride destroys things trust me. I wouldnt judge you--similar case has happened to me---Lecturer things. ( Made me resit a course then at school)the only course I had to repeat.

#ONELOVE

Please read my post well. I didn't come late. I was even there for Sunday school. That's even before service starts.

Triplehawkeyes:
Firstly I don't think you did wrong wanting to sit in front, not with all the noise at the back, kids laughing and other disturbance, you would want to sit in front, secondly, it's God's house and you can sit anywhere you want, no one paid you transport to church, and as you rightly observed it's mostly empty and not always occupied but I think you over reacted, maybe next time you could have just asked them can I just sit here for today? Or joked with them saying hmm I think I will like to join protocol so I can sit here and hear the message well, you could have handled it better, please try your best, it isn't easy but it still won't have taken anything from you to move to the back for the message sake, if you were the protocol lady or usher what would you have done to you in that situation

I get you. But it was almost impossible to reason with them like that, it was in the middle of worship. Plus the first roll means so eyes on us... You dig?

Goandie:

this is the question the Op is asking that pple are just tackling him with studded boot.
i personally mite no walk out of the church like how he did but i will not leav that seat till d church service is over, coz it is Yaweh house

Mind you they were about 10 seats in that roll oo. Empty. The range kinda days members seat on. When it was crossover service, why did they allow people seat on them?

KingOfThePay:
OP you did the right thing. A church is not a social gathering where people are categorized or given preference base on status or protocols whatsoever -but a place of worship, therefore there is no such things as preference on where member should sit. Only the pastor and anointed men of God should have a preferred stated area of sitting around the alter.
To those saying OP did wrong or embarrassed himself whatsoever, I simply don't know how to classify you all. Low esteem and status

Thank you Sir. Right on time.

sleek82:
I am sorry to tell you this....you may not get anybody to tell you what you want to hear but let me analyse this to you.....you said the seat is for protocol (this tells me you knew it was for protocol) regardless of how many protocols seat there every sunday (it still doesnt mean its the same number that sat last week that will seat this week)...you probably were treated that way because they thought you should know better as you are not a new member of the church. Im sure if this was your first time in this church, you wouldn't have sat there or you would have gladly sat somewhere else after they told you to.....you might feel they embarrassed you but honestly, you brought it upon yourself. I may feel the same way if i were in your shoes but reflecting back, i would know i was wrong in the first place

Thanks. I think you made sense, constructively. Appreciated.

zicoraads:

He is wrong. Even the Bible admonishes us to obey laid down rules and regulations. Every church has seats reserved for elders, pastors and deacons. I am certain he went and sat in one of those. Nothing stopped him from taking one step back.

I am certain if he went to an occasion outside the church, he won't go near the front seats that have been reserved for certain dignitaries. And he won't storm out either. Wrong is wrong.

You're certain. Seriously? The fact that you're certain... Got nothing to say.

africanusvu:
WATS PROTOCOL PLS I AM A CATHOLIC.IT SOUNDS STRANGE TO ME

When they call first timers, the protocol unit ushers them to an office in the church where they are attended to.

josite:



u must be a very small size man.u can tell the size of a man by the kind of things that get him angry.upgrade

And you must be a short thinking guy. So once there's something wrong and you point it, you're small sized? And yeah... I'm 5 11. I don't think that's short.

otunbadan:


so if you went to us embassy or uk embassy to collect the visa you applied for, or job interview and you were told to please go to the back, wont you respectfully do so, why act different because you are in church

Because the US and UK embassies are their own country's properties. The Church is God's house. Plus, I didn't do no wrong. Read again.

indoorscholar:
He has OCD (Google it). He can't stay in the back for obvious psychological reasons. Besides are we not equal in the eyes of God?

I support your decision to leave the church, praying with anger is not a good thing, however you should have handled the matter better

Next time just move to d next seat.on a different note, hope you're treating ur OCD?

Thanks man. Mature talk there.

donogaga:
You stormed out of the church, He's still God.

You disobeyed the instructions of the ushers, He's still God.

You claim right even when you are obviously wrong, He's still God.

Bro, there's need for you to respect constituted authorities. It's simple. Don't be proud.

You must respect yourself, especially when you are in the House of God/place of worship.

God bless you.

I realize some people just like to sound smart. Congrats

TakeMeSerious:

You shouldn't have said this.

Allow him. He probably is a juvenile.

cocoberry:
No He's not...

Thanks dear.

Norasparkle:
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.

Thank you o jare. You're there.

admax:
You are very proud.

That Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder you mentioned is another name for pride.

You might as well be an atheist because you aren't doing God or Church a favour by worshipping God.

Oga go and seat down in the cinema at midnight abeg. What's the pride there? Is the church your house or God's house?

ladyF:
You no try o.

Let me tell you what to do. Next week, carry rope to church and tie your leg to the front seat. Dem no fit do you anything!!! Them no write anybody name for there abeg.

It's LadyF again.

Pheww! A breath of fresh air... At least someone understand's my plight. Thanks ojare

Biggcake:
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 ...

Lol... I don't think I'll get a fair judgement here... Maybe if the mods can give me more audience? Lalasticlala, mynd44?

skeendyke:
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? And 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.

Ioannes:
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?

soulpeppersoup:


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.

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'?

Oh my lord... This Alex guy or whatever has started with all these his "desperate attempt for popularity" type of news. Are you talking about stylplus or about your escapades? With those poorly staged acts? Guy... Calm down and do something you're talented in. Once you're really good at something, fame and fortune will have no choice than to come to you. But with all these desperately looking shabby news? Guy... You go push yourself sell gala last last.

I saw that video clip yesterday and I couldn't stop laughing. The reporter had to tell Trump what he said was Inappropriate

How will a president say such a thing to a reporter on live TV?!!!

This is what you get when you vote for an arrogant person as president. Someone who Grabs em by the pusssy

Hello America, hope you are with your knives and shotguns? Welcome to hell (The purge 2017 featuring Donald Trump)





Just take a look at this Homo-sapien (Brb for the pun) Asslicking Trump wouldn't drop a dime in your pocket. He is not fayose

Go and sit down in the cinema at midnight abeg. What do you know about journalism? News should be objective and unbiased. CNN were completely unethical all through the campaign. They should have known better. And to think they are one of the biggest in the world? Is a shame! It's corruption at the highest level in the world of journalism. Trump was completely right to say that!
