2 Timothy 3:1-9 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

3 Moreover, understand this: in the acharit-hayamim will come trying times. 2 People will be self-loving, money-loving, proud, arrogant, insulting, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, uncontrolled, brutal, hateful of good, 4 traitorous, headstrong, swollen with conceit, loving pleasure rather than God, 5 as they retain the outer form of religion but deny its power.

Stay away from these people! 6 For some of them worm their way into homes and get control of weak-willed women who are heaped with sins and swayed by various impulses, 7 who are always learning but never able to come to full knowledge of the truth. 8 In the same way as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moshe, so also these people oppose the truth. They are people with corrupted minds, whose trust cannot pass the test. 9 However, they won’t get very far; because everyone will see how stupid they are, just as happened with those two.

1 Corinthians 14:34-35Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

34 let the wives remain silent when the congregation meets; they are certainly not permitted to speak out. Rather, let them remain subordinate, as also the Torah says; 35 and if there is something they want to know, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for a woman to speak out in a congregational meeting.

1 Corinthians 14:34-35Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)

34 The women should keep quiet in these church meetings. They are not allowed to speak out but should be under authority, as the Law of Moses says. 35 If there is something they want to know, they should ask their own husbands at home. It is shameful for a woman to speak up like that in the church meeting.

Subject: Exit Interview

Dear Angela,

I received the letter and canceled check today from Dorothy Wood. The exit feedback that I have would be. Sunday mornings are the most segregated hour of the week.

The way your maintenance man made me feel on Monday, when I attempted to explain that Jessica verbally told me on Friday, she put me on the calendar, and he told me that I was not on the calendar, and the doors to the church were locked. He continually asked me if I had a room number, and if I could contact Jessica to find out what room it was being held in. 

I felt humiliated, embarrassed like a failure.  I do believe the enemy has strategically assigned certain spirits of this region to attack me in the area of race relations and educational matters.

The maintenance man was there to do a job, and that was to unlock the doors, and allow me to try and obtain work for myself, in the way of starting a company. I never asked him for his opinion about network marketing. However, he felt the need to tell me that this area Delaware was not a good place for network marketing, and that I would not be successful with it.  

To add insult to injury, he would only direct his conversation regarding the building to my presenter Dr. Lynn (white), as I (black) attempted to tell him this was my event, and that I was the one sponsoring, signed the contract and paid for the use of your facility.

After the exchange, we decided to leave, due to not knowing who showed up, and the doors were locked, we got into our separate cars to leave, and this maintenance man, again went to Dr. Lynn's car the presenter to apology for the inconvenience. Dr. Lynn advised the maintenance man, that he needed to direct his apologies to me, not her. 

In closing, I am asking God, How do I love God when I don't love the church. I have officially given up on the church.

I wish Calvary all the best.

Namaste

Cheryl

Dear Cheryl,

I was on vacation last week in Colorado to see my daughter and family and just came back to the office today.  Of course, I was saddened and disappointed that you had had a bad experience here at Calvary.  Since I’m only hearing one side of the story, I will not comment on what happened except to say that it is very unfortunate.  

However, because I am a “Mother in Christ” I will not just say “so long.”   The enemy would love nothing more than for you to allow this “bump in the road” to set you back and keep you isolated from church, people and God.  He is the author of confusion.  You have been taking positive steps to make things better for yourself and I encourage you to NOT let this take you down or set you back.  Let it go – forgive and persevere.  Keep your eye on the goal.  Setbacks are opportunities to learn not to give up.  What could you learn from this experience?   

I can tell you that we have a policy of having your money in two weeks ahead of time for a reason — so we can have all our ducks in a row and everyone informed about what rooms are being used.  When you came in the day before your event, you set yourself up for failure.  You had no time to inform your invited guests which room was being used and what door to enter.  You didn’t even ask for that information when you paid.  Should they have given it to you?  Yes?  But that late in the day they probably had already finished the calendar for the custodians and could have easily gotten interrupted and forgotten to update and reprint which left you in a lurch. They probably still had things on their list to finish before going home for the weekend. Were they wrong?  Yes.  They should not have gone against their policy of two weeks notice and payment so the proper procedures would have been followed.  But because you had let people know that you were meeting there, they tried to accommodate you.  I think there is enough fault to go to both you and the person who took your money.    

Next:  an exit interview is a conversation; not a statement in an email.  If you are serious about bettering your situation you need to come in and have a conversation with the Pastor and Dorothy about why you are leaving and get things resolved face to face.  Leaving this way leaves the door open for the enemy to attack and isolate you.  I don’t think you want or need that.  Yes, it takes courage to come in to talk but that is the scriptural way to take care of this.   To just make a statement that “Sunday mornings is the most segregated day of the week” is a generalization.  Evidently you have not been attending Calvary.  We are not segregated and more and more of other races are attending our church and worshipping together.  The Church is people who are part of the body of Christ.  Christ tells us to forebear and forgive.  If you do that you will love the Church and God.   One person treating you poorly or racist is not the whole church.  There will always be people in the church who say and do things wrong because we are not perfect or in heaven yet.  We are all, you included, in the process of maturing and growing into the likeness of Christ.  We will hurt and disappoint one another but we do not run from it; we face it and learn from it and grow.  You cannot grow if you keep running.  I don’t believe that is what Christ would have you do in this situation. 

I’m sorry that you felt humiliated, embarrassed and like a failure; especially in front of your guest and trainer.   That is very painful.  But this does not have to be a failure.  If you learn something to do differently next time then this experience won’t be wasted.  Certainly we want to learn what we can do differently and how to instruct our custodians differently if this happens again.  If you do what it takes to resolve it then you will honor God and allign yourself with His blessings and favor.  You will also give the enemy a black eye!   I encourage you to do the hard thing — call Pastor’s office and set up a time to meet with Him and Dorothy; don’t run from conflict and hurt.  I love you enough to tell you the truth; I know it hurts and is difficult but I know from my own painful experience that telling the truth is the kindest thing someone can do for you.  

I want to encourage you to continue to pursue DoTerra.  The products are amazing and produce amazing results.  You will need to network with people for this business to grow.  You will have disappoints and successes but you can’t allow them to stop you.   What you learn from this experience will help you in your business too.  Please pray about it, be quiet before the Lord and allow Him to speak to you.  Whatever He asks us to do He gives us the strength to do.

Blessings -- Angela
