So this week at community group, one of the guys richard brought his wife and a friend...
before i go on let me give you some back ground on richard...he has cancer and is only in seattle to get treatment, and lives in southern oregon. he didn't know that our community group was a 20 something age group. he is 50 or so. but after he came he loved us and continues to come back. (or something like that, i may have some of the facts wrong there) but this week richards wife was visiting him with a friend
and this is where my story beings,
before we start reading the word, we do and "ice breaker" where everyone goes around the room and shares a piece of scripture that spoke to them that week. so we begin going around the room when it becomes jane's turn...
she doesn't start sharing scripture oh no, she starts explaining how she is a healer, i think this is cool (at first)...i am all about all natural healing remedies. However she then starts explaining how she is sent from God as a energy. she says that she has a strong energy with the light of God, and sometimes electronics don't work around her. (interesting i think, getting a little concerned at this point) so we continue to listen start glancing around the room to what everyone else is thinking. after explaining her energy flow, she starts telling us how she can see 50 billion years into the past and into the future. (how does she believe she is sent from God then...i have no clue) she then begins to tell us she had a dream about
jane continues to tell us how she dreamt a turtle was on her head and how the turtle was scared and caught in a net...(or something like that i was a little distracted so i don't quite remember the whole story). she then explains what all this means. basically what i got from it is that she thinks
but that isn't then end...
we start discussing Philippians 2, where paul talks about respecting leaders because they are all sent from God. jane seemed very interested in this, and she asked us who our leader is.
after we are done discussing we get into our prayer groups (the girls like to pray together and we send the boys down stairs) so jane stayed upstairs with us. before we started praying she tells us she has a son whose wife just left him with their two kids and how he needs a new mate. she then asked all of the girls if we have a male mate..(ha) as she gets to me i say “no”. and she asks "why are you a lesbian?" (fantastic)
this was the one of the strangest things i have ever encountered. i was talking with david, who lives in hawaii, and he said that the island jane is from (moliki?) are a lot of people like her. after i was talking to my friend colin and he said she might be back next week, and how we should try to witness to her. and that is what richard is trying to do. but honestly i am not sure if i want her back. she brought a bad vibe and i didn't really feel gods presence with her around...nor did i feel comfortable around her. i know we as “christians” are supposed to love people especially people like jane...and i do. but does that mean we invite her into our homes and let her talk falsely to us? it is hard to witness to someone like that. right?

At our church, we tend to have a lot of the "unlovely" type people, and I would be lying if I said I was totally fine with that..It's been an eye opener for me and I think a good one..but, it does take a strong leader to keep things on track while balancing compassion, unconditional love, etc...all the while my heart is being worked on too..I don't think it's a snobby issue, but more of something I haven't had a lot of exposure too..
You have to admit it wasn't a dull evening!!
