Help: What should I do? I was invited to a dinner tonight with some people in the retirement village, I moved to. I thought maybe I should stop being alone that I am a private person in real life.
It starts in 15 minutes and I was just told that it's religious and I to watch videos or listen to talk Jesus.As if I need help!
Should I go and ask us to leave like last time when I have a church meeting because I can not shut up with the lies that Jesus is God?
Should I go, eat food and sit there and boil with anger and pretend to enjoy it (which I doubt I can do)?
Do I just not go tomorrow to try and abuse me mistake of going to teach lies about God and Jesus?
I must say that I am tempted to go just to talk with them.
By the way I said it was Catholic.
Stay home and have a backbone. Listen to Granny and advice Wendi.
Everyone, I apologize for the use of "backbone" because I take the wrong word and I'm not good with vocabulary.
Lone Dissenter 4th time round, please accept my apologies.
Very disappointed. Report Abuse

It is unavoidable. It will give you a chance to learn the religion. You do not have to accept his beliefs, just trying to be open minded and understand what he's ahead. Who knows, it could strengthen your own beliefs and values.
Dude, I totally agree with "Granny" Wendi "and" Rick G ".
I love this brother Rick G said, when he stated, I quote:
"When people ask you later why you did not, then you can show cause on a personal line that could happen to an ear that hears. And it will be on your home ground, which everyone knows it gives you the advantage. "
It is very wise advice and harmony with the directors of the Bible. Aks you "solo", you have invited to dinner by some people in your village retirement ... right?
There necessarily wrong with that?
No, at least not Scripture (However, there is a danger) ... and I quote
"Now, food [] itself does not cause our acceptance by God, nor to recommend us to him. Eating [food offered to idols] gives us no benefit, nor do we come short or become worse if we do not eat [it].
9 Only be careful that this power of choice (such permission and freedom to do what you please) which is yours, not [a] be a barrier (because of contention) for low scrupulous or [giving them an impetus to sin].
10 To assume that someone sees you, a man with knowledge [of God, with an intelligent view of this topic and recliner] at the table in an idol's temple, might he not be encouraged and emboldened [of violating his own scruples of conscience] if it is weak and uncertain, and eat what [it] is the purpose of idol worship?
11 And if your enlightenment (your knowledge of spiritual things), this man has ruined low (what is lost and perished) - brother for whom Christ (the Messiah) died!
12 And when you sin against your brothers in this way, offensive.
