and I thought it was distasteful, innappropriate, insensitive, and disrespectful and ignores the fact that we have had two divorces in our church in the past two years. (50 people per week) This video was used to promote the start of a new church program. Guess what that new program is? The role of a Godly biblically based man. No, I am not joking.

I did talk with the 4 leaders of the church about it. They seemed to think that I am overreacting. I told them they are underreacting and THAT is the real problem. They did not know better on their own. Ask the wives, husbands, and children of the divorced homes if it is funny. Maybe I do need a break. Where I grew up if you gave a gift that helped someone do their job, it was a good gift. If you gave them something that was just for show and you paid money for it, you were ridiculed. Flowers were picked on the way back to the house, not purchased, you idiot. Besides, gifts like jewelry and flowers are given because the giver is wanting something. I do give my wife flowers, but I do laugh every time I do. "Here honey, these represent our love, dead two days ago and nobody wants to admit it. Let's put them on the table and watch the bugs get to them."
Anyway, so when do we as brothers stand up and say something when it is wrong. I feel like lately I would never sit down in church. That is the biblical question, how do I go on without always being a massive pain in the butt, or how do I just sit back without saying anything?
