Comments on: I feel like you wouldn’t like me http://www.elysekufeldt.com/2008/12/07/i-feel-like-you-wouldnt-like-me/ Just another blog from an almost 20-something. Wed, 15 Jul 2009 16:23:28 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: Elyse http://www.elysekufeldt.com/2008/12/07/i-feel-like-you-wouldnt-like-me/comment-page-1/#comment-461 Elyse Wed, 18 Feb 2009 15:39:28 +0000 http://www.elysekufeldt.com/?p=449#comment-461 haha, well, for a long time I titled these posts by a song lyric that I could find that kinda fit. I stopped doing it because (a) often it would take longer to find a lyric than it took to write the post and (b) a lot of times the ones I did find were more emo or just generally misleading because I was trying too hard. I'm not really worried about that per se. And I don't think you're right Tracy. I appreciate the comment, but I don't feel guilty or ashamed of what I believe at all, and nor am I under any convictions of the life I'm living. I love my life and I love myself. I have nothing to be ashamed of or feel guilty for. What I have not been able to figure out is whether or not the pastor is an understanding, empathetic type, or if he will plainly ignore everything I have to say. haha, well, for a long time I titled these posts by a song lyric that I could find that kinda fit.

I know because I too felt that way around sound Biblical people when I was your age and I too was asking alot of ?'s about my faith and I felt a little guilty too. Because to believe in the teachings I was brought up in meant not living as I was. I was under conviction, but wanted to call it finding myself. Just something I wanted to share.

Well, a good friend with similar tastes in shows recommended it to me. It's a little unnerving to get into, but I gave it a good run. Plus I just had it sitting around from Netflix. :) We'll see what happens. This is his first time being a head pastor, as I understand it, so I think he's just got the first time jitters and desire to do things right and well. We'll see what happens. I'll just play it cool while he finds his place and I figure him out. :) haha. Well, a good friend with similar tastes in shows recommended it to me.

Then again, I don't really watch any television anymore and therefore have lost the appeal of it... I would feel really uncomfortable with that. It's a youth group, like a safe space to talk without someone's "guiding" hand, a place to explore rather than be led. I imagine. So I'd be uncomfortable if a new pastor tried to attend every meeting. A few, sure, but every -- that would seem like much to me. (Well, what do I know. I'm definitely religion-less.)
