THE RIGHTS AND WRONGS OF THIS PART 2

Putthatbookdown · 16/05/2012 13:28

To the 180 odd great people who replied:here is the reply. The confusion centred round the church I think. This was not a party I simply invited a colleague for a meal It was turned into something else by the colleague who asked if she could bring another who was a longstanding friend of hers. Both have lived here much longer than me. I was suspicious. I managed to get the truth out of the univited who claimed I had been told all about her and upon hearing this I had invited her: lies I was only given her name and about a day's notice . I had nothing in common with the uninvited. I tested it out: she never did much in her free time and later admiited "i take everything I get" I tested further: she went from hotel worker to Mortgage advisor and tried to sell me a mortgoge Once she even asked me to bring my friends round to her house so she could meet them!! The Church comes in as I was supposed to be doing work for this girl even though neither she nor I were relligious !! I was actually very busy: I was working ftime as a teacher and had various interests but the uninvited girl did not share these . She was after meeting me I was not after meeting her. I do not like rude people especially not in my home : I tested more and found out she after even more Attempted theft I would say: the univited girl is not badly off as being a dull girl she works all the time .

that thread was priceless!Grin
er..still all qute strange. Why didn't you just say to her you wren't interested in seeing her again, as she has agenda?
What was the comment 'why bother with an atheist' about then? if both of you weren't religious?

Putthatbookdown · 16/05/2012 14:17

At the start I did not think like that . I like cooking so I cooked. I assumed we might have something in common as the other girl would not have invited her (?)!!?? There would have been an arrangement between them which I was not privy to and this was not disclosed at the time plus the uninvited had been told I had heard all about her so she thought she was invited (?) I think you will find the so-called religious one knew I was polite and it was exactly why this happened: after all she knew I was educated She would not have brought her friend here otherwise would she? She would not have told me the truth either would she cos if she had I would have declined. ?? No one actually likes to believe this kind of thing do they? Plus if the uninvited was looking for friends there is nothing wrong with that is there? Tricky Best to meet up outside first and see before inviting home>

I am not religious so I cannot say for certain.I would have thought the religious colleague would have had little time for an atheist like me as the Church is so important to her ??? I cannot presume but when I asked her why the girl had been brought here her reply was"The Church" Only these 2 words Not " I thought you might like to meet her as she is e.g a teacher, has the same interests or whatever? " She repeated this "The Church" This is why I think I was being asked to do some kind of work but I may be wrong.

And you need a new thread about this WHY?

CogitoErgoSometimes · 16/05/2012 14:48

You're still not making any sense.

Putthatbookdown · 16/05/2012 16:31

are there any Church people on here who can interpret this for us? Cheers This is where it is not making sense

CogitoErgoSometimes · 16/05/2012 16:35

Really... does it matter? You're not planning on starting a friendship with these people. Who cares what it meant? Let it go.

gingerchick · 16/05/2012 16:35

WTAF are you on about and Shock you're a teacher?!?

CupOfBrownJoy · 16/05/2012 16:40

Putthatbookdown · 16/05/2012 16:58

Ok, I'm a Christian and I think I understand the gist of this thread. I don't condone the behaviour of the one who was invited, but maybe her church had been encouraging their congregation to "be a contageous Christian" ( I have been on a course called that)and she thought she could convert both of you to Christianity in one fell swoop?

CogitoErgoSometimes · 16/05/2012 17:44

You mean?..... dun, dun, DUNNNNN.... the OP did the equivalent of inviting a Jehovah's Witness in for tea and buns??!?!!!! Shock Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition....

oikopolis · 16/05/2012 17:46

ok let me see if i can get this straight...

you are upset about some woman trying to convert you to xianity?

or you want to know if she was, in fact, trying to convert you? and if so, is that wrong or right?

if it's either of those, i think you need to stop caring about things that really are of no consequence. so, you allowed some woman you didn't know to come to your home for a meal... she tried to convert you/acted strangely... then she went home...

so..? what are you upset about? it's not like she's still at your house, throwing holy water on you!

as far as i can see, the wrong was, you let someone you didn't know come to your house for a meal. you're apparently the kind of person who gets a massive bee in her bonnet when others behave strangely, so that wasn't a particularly intelligent thing to do. so don't do it again.

as for the guest, perhaps she was "wrong", perhaps you got the wrong end of the stick entirely. who knows. and who cares??

CupOfBrownJoy · 16/05/2012 17:48

Heh heh my very Catholic friend's mother used to invite Jehovah's Witnesses in and then spend an hour trying to convert them to Catholicism - they would end up desperate to leave Grin

Is Gabby back? The ranDOM capitalS and air of utter nonsense seem oddly familiar.... Hmm

YourFanjoIsNotAHandbag · 16/05/2012 17:49

Oh my gosh it's started again......

CupOfBrownJoy · 16/05/2012 17:49

who cares??

^^that, indeed, is the pertinent point...

leguminous · 16/05/2012 17:49

I am delighted and highly chuffed that there's a second thread on this. Grin

Hang on, where does attempted theft come in?

YourFanjoIsNotAHandbag · 16/05/2012 17:52

If there is any sense hidden very far in this, can someone explain it? In actual words that make sense? And paragraphs?

It's been a long day, I didn't get the first one and part 2 is beyond me still

Clearly I am stupid.

CupOfBrownJoy · 16/05/2012 17:52

leguminous, that was after the friend's pet lizard called and said it wanted its bible back, only the first friend's sister doesn't like lizards and never had the bible anyway and everyone knows that if you try and give someone a biscuit and they're allergic its attempted MurDER....

Smile
YourFanjoIsNotAHandbag · 16/05/2012 17:53

What bloody attempted theft?
I'm sure that wasn't in the first one.

Ok I am going to try and read it again.

CupOfBrownJoy · 16/05/2012 17:54
Bumdrop · 16/05/2012 17:55

The rights and wrongs of this ?
I love it !
Pure insanity,
Give me more, every bit cracks me up !!!!

YourFanjoIsNotAHandbag · 16/05/2012 18:00

I've read it again....

I can't read anymore

Please please explain why bringing a person to dinner and talking about church has suddenly become attempted theft?

And why a religious person is not allowed to come to dinner?

And why the op thinks they were trying to get her to do "work"
What bloody work, gods work, house work, I don't know

Please help

knitknack · 16/05/2012 18:02

you're not a teacher
