Kicked out of Church!

I got kicked out of a church last Friday night! Me, the former wife of a Baptist preacher; the epitome of wedding love; an incurable romantic; a faithful one to the end. Yes, I literally got kicked out of a Weslyan Church in Waterloo when I went to help execute the rehearsal practice for one of my clients.
I think the exact words were, "Either she goes or I do!" This from a pastor; a man of God; one who should be showing us love and to walk the way that Jesus walked. Kind of gives you the warm fuzzies, doesn't it? This is the sort of man--preacher that turns people off. Makes God want to cry. (It did rain that day by the way!!!!)

Since when did churches become a one man show? Where was the love and understanding? This pastor was obviously threatened by my presence, not only as a wedding planner, but also as a woman who was in charge. I left, to keep the peace. He was spouting off words for my sake and not for the benefit of the wedding party, so I left to keep the event as stress free as possible.

I didn't even get to help or watch the wedding the next day as I was completely banned. What century do we live in again, but I think I found a time warp in Waterloo!
