Had a youth director who was emotionally manipulative and always seemed to know everybody’s business. My mom was on the personnel committee and I was on every youth committee available for my denomination up to and including national. I adored my youth director until he decided I wasn’t spending enough time at my local church and I was apparently focusing too much time on denominational youth stuff. I mentioned he was emotionally manipulative. Best Just A Girl Who Loves Candy T-Shirt He started saying things like ‘I can’t believe you wouldn’t spend more time at our church if you truly loved me and loved Jesus’, etc. I mentioned it to my mom one day in passing, boy oh boy did that blow up. That went back to the personnel committee.

Long story short, dude gets fired, wife gets fired, and they’re not welcome at any denominational church. Come to find out he’d been going right up to the line of committing fraud by manipulating financial reports and his wife had been on several rounds of performance improvement plans for not getting her shit done. Looking back at it, it was so obvious what was happening. But being involved with it at the time made it not nearly as clear. I haven’t been back to that church in years but it still pains me Best Just A Girl Who Loves Candy T-Shirt I think about the church. I say all of that to say this…keep your chin up, it’ll get better and don’t be ashamed of, or embarrassed by, any of the good memories.

Just coming into this now, but my friend, you are doing the Lord’s work. I wish more people were strong enough to take on bullies like this— especially bullies who are willing to fleece vulnerable people. I grew up Catholic and I have very little faith in any organized religion (borderline atheist but partly agnostic) and I have to say if there were more people like you showing assholes like “Mr Charming” that they can’t get away with their bullshit, I might still have faith. Well, actually, I am no longer a Christian. My faith survived the events in my post, Best Just A Girl Who Loves Candy T-Shirt but then I went to grad school, eventually completing a PhD in archaeology (took several years). glad to hear you escaped The Beast; i was raised in it and have so much anger towards it, what a load of shit, mixed with a few chunks of tasty corn.
