I know that you have most wonderful intentions, and you are trying to save your freinds from firery damnation, but you should go around evangelizing. It will only make your freinds dislike and separate from you. If you do feel the need to at least attempt keep at a minimum, you don't want to lose you friends, do you?
im not trying to evangelize.
how is telling your friend " hey we going out after mass...wana come along so we go straight to the city?" evangelizing? :S
and what do we do? we just read them passages out of bibles hoping that will help them?
neutral this isnt about the friend im trying to help
its about A ...about how i cant confront her about this ditching habit.
perhaps he was pointing out the social pressure contained within your words. It sorta implies that A must go to mass to go out afterwards.
however, I don't think you do it on purpose...if you do at all
i dont think youre really trying to help me out on this issue about this friend
but youre simply trying to point out that its wrong to try to encourage friends to come to mass...?
I never said my friend MUST go to mass...its an encouragement..i didnt FORCE her ....i guess its wrong to help my friends out huh?
okay nevermind
youre just here for a little fun argument and pointing out whatever you are disagreeing with...just leave
That’s not my point at all
I'm trying to get you to think critically on the subject at hand
For starters
I would never suggest that your intention was to in any way shape or form force her to do anything.
But what you don't realize is that your encouragement carries with it a social pressure
this social pressure is mostly subconscious
that is to say
we don't necessarily know we are doing it
and if effected by it we don't necessarily know we are
you may not realize by your words could be perceived differently than you intended and by no fault of your own or your friend
I believe the mind is very complex
I wanted you to see that
