Affectatious. maybe it's just me, but i feel as if the next generation of Bethanians are such.

disclaimer: this blog entry is not gonna be like nice and all. hope you as the reader understand that this is my blog and i would love to hear from you. constructive comments are greatly appreciated.

this blog entry was inspired by firstly my dearest granny and secondly sherman tan's blog on Bethany's anniversary. i was really intrigued by what my granny told me. i was just speaking to her the other day about how everyone looked so pretty and beautiful in the anniversary night pics. she slammed me with this comment; "that's the thing lor, your church Bethany when you go to church must, yao mian zhi must keep up appearances. that's why i don't like going to your church. must dress up so nice one when go to church. i feel out of place when i go." yes, i know we must give of the best to the Master. but what if it becomes so extreme that you dress not to please God but Man.

i know they may look all nice and all on the outside but even i when i'm not there at Bethany physically, i just have to look at those pictures of anniversary to know that many of them are so superficial. maybe i'm speculating too much, maybe i'm reading too much into it. but it's such a pity though. I love Bethany and all, but i don't want it to become like, a stranger to me. it's like a fictional story plot i read before;

a father dotes on his children, loves them to bits. to ensure that his children get a secure and proper future, he works his ass off trying to get money for them. because of this, the father drifts away from his children. the children become so influenced by money and things of this earth. father becomes a stranger in their eyes.

i know Bethany has been going on and on about oneness in the church; but like what sherman tan says in his blog, oneness within ppl of your own kind. are you all really that selective?
