Wow am I ticked right now. Today has not been one of my better days. It all started after work. I ride 2 LONG bus rides for some dumb ink cartridge to find out that the place I went didn't have it. *ended up getting some at Staples* So After that, I call Claudio and ask him for a ride to prayer metting, he agrees. So in the meanwhile, I go to withdraw some money from the bank, I find I'm missing money. About the amount my mom paid me in the form of a check. *A little upset, but nothing that serious, yet* So Claudio picks me up and takes me.
At the prayer meeting, Michelle talks with Rebecca and I socialize with others. I see Claudio briefly and he tells me he wants to talk to me about sex afterwards. *I had told him about me and Michelle sleeping together* I agree and eventually its time to pray. I pray, Michelle attempts to, though feels no connection to God. After the 2 and a half prayer stuff, its finally over. He then pulls me aside and breaks out some scripture. Michelle is again talking to Rebecca. He then points out 1Cr 5:9-13
1Cr 5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
1Cr 5:10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
1Cr 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
1Cr 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
1Cr 5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
He then goes on with
1Cr 6:13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body [is] not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. At this point, I am taking it all in and generally agreeing with the text. At that moment, everyone started to plan for Denny's. I wanted to go so I could socialize and eat. I was hungry, its like 10PM by then, no dinner. So he continues and gives me psalms 51 and romans 1:28-32 to read. *more but that is all i'm gonna refer to for now* SO anyways, they ask Claudio if he's going. He says he'll think about it. We then talk about creationist vs. evolution and stuff. After all that, we leave out the building. THey ask if he's going, he says no. I then need to go back in the church and get my coat. So while we're walking back, I say, "your not going because of me, right?" He then tells me that is part of the reason. He then goes on to tell me he knows what is right spirtually and such. He then proceeds to take us home.
While I"m getting out the car, he tells us bye, michelle says thank you and I say, " Whatever, I don't like talking to people who snub me" I get out the car and storm to the house. Michelle asks me what is going on. I tell her though I wasn't going to tell her. I didn't want her getting the wrong impression of christians. I told her I understood his decision, just I don't like it. PERIOD. I didn't even want to tell him about my personal life. THough I trusted him so we could be closer. Instead, this is the thanks I get. It's bothersome when I let down my inner walls just to be attacked by the person I let in. Maybe I should just stick to SDA's instead. Oh, to top the cake, I left my ink cartridge in his trunk and when I got home, NO DINNER. Also, I feel that this whole thing may give Michelle the wrong impression.
In other news, the lights *and all that was electrical* was out for a lil over 24 hours here. My mom had forgotten *so she says* to pay the electric bill. It wasn't fun running around with candles and no alarm for work. ANyways, that is all. ~END~

I don't know about this church, but when someone has done wrong they are expected to repent of the sin and determine to never do it again. This usually consists of going before the church or the group you are involved in, confessing it, praying to God, and committing to God and the others (as witnesses and accountability partners) to not do it again. At least that is the way it is done at my church.
If you aren't willing to repent and change your conduct, you should be prepared for others to distance themselves from you. Afterall, it is the biblical standard.
I don't say this to judge, just to try to help you better understand the situation.
