I was so DISGUSTED at church this morning that I....

Gathered my kids and LEFT!!!!

I don't know how to take this all in. To start off we are kinda new there, only been a hand full of times. My landlords are the ones who got us going there. They are members. This is a Good ol' Southern baptist church and until now I loved it there.

So we are sitting in our sunday school class and the preacher starts off as usual, then he goes on to tell a joke. To me the joke was fine at 1st, then it became a racial joke. !! I was just beside myself!

The joke went like this. Please don't take offense to my posting this. I just need to make SURE that I am getting it right and that I am not wrong to be totally disgusted by this.

" A man goes golfing and desides to use the robotic feild. So he goes in sets his balls down and starts to golf. The robot says you don't use that club for that one, you use this one. So the man continues and when hes done he says man this was my best game yet! I did the best I have even done.

He then comes back the next week and asks for the robot again. The man says I'm sorry but we had to get rid of them. He says well why? The man says that the silver chrome on the robots was causing the other golfers to be distracted by the shining. So the man says well why didn't you just paint them black? He says well I tried, but it didnt work out, three of them went on welfare, one laid out for a week, four of them robbed the station down the road and one is running for president."



Worse part, 1/2 the room laughed. The other 1/2 just sat there.

I was so disgusted that I left the room, got my kids and we left.

Was I wrong? Did I take it the wrong way? I'm so against anything of that nature... I could just cry right now.

I am sitting here BAWLING my eyes out!! I was so happy there and so were the kids. They loved it there. Now I have to try and tell them why we wont be going back. This is JUST TERRIBLE!!

And yes, that came out of the PREACHERS mouth!

That is HORRIBLE! I can't believe that. I'd have left too. Does the church have a governing board? (Most do) If so, I'd contact them. I would have left too but my pastor would NEVER say that. Where there African Americans in the crowd? I'm livid!!!
