well mark that down as situation 2938489 that I don't know how to handle
#i would love advice on this if y'all have any thoughts to share because i know what my parents think and im having trouble sorting it out
#i love these three friends of mine but it is really draining to be around them now because all they will talk about is church drama
#(re: our old church) and rehashing it all and being Outraged about the horrors etc etc
#either that or being downright condescending about protestants/non denominations and acting like it's funny to talk like that all the time
#i end up being more angry or resentful or exasperated at the end of our conversations than glad and at peace like i did before
#(before all THIS ish happened and the three of them were like okay this is all we're going to talk about now)
#i've tried to say in gentle ways (i am simply not capable of this kind of blunt confrontation) that maybe we should not be talking
#so uncharitably towards other people especially behind their backs. like. yes bad things happened. we have to acknowledge that.
#but continually making jokes and jibes at a priest's expense really rubs me the wrong way especially since i KNOW that he loves us
#and in many ways was trying his best in the circumstances. and are we not supposed to be loving our neighbour
#and is this not downright slander to keep going on this way esp since it goes on for HOURS at a time
#anyway i don't know what to DO because if i keep chatting with them/meeting up with them conversation will be 90% this thing and i Hate It
#but on the other hand i feel responsibility towards them because my godson's one of them and another is a friend who is a fairly recent
#convert and if i leave them to stew in their own echo chamber i doubt it'll do them good
#am i supposed to keep some distance? am i supposed to keep arguing whenever one of them says something unkind or inflammatory?
#am i supposed to keep speaking up so that they hear a different perspective? am i supposed to run in the other direction for my own peace o
#mind? anyway i am still thinking this over and it stresses me OUT
#it used to be fun and life giving to be around these people and now it is so exhausting and seriously alarming in many ways
