Dad is stealing 500 dollars from me for saying Jesus drank

Post Reply New Topic

Hi yall,
I am really bummed out because my Dad is extorting and fining me 500 dollars for posting Jesus and the Early Christians drank alcohol and that the Church of Christ lies about alcohol. The Church of Christ teaches that there was no wine in the bible it was all Welch's Grape Juice and I was pointing out that was a lie. I only make 900 dollars a month so thats over half of my income for that month stolen


What is even more ridiculous is that my dad admits that the facebook post was totally correct and agrees my facebook post is accurate but he will steal the money from me anyways. He is doing this because he wants to be a elder at our new church and he was does not want me to ruin that for him. He is taking the 500 dollars from my retirement contribution and wont allow me to put money in my retirement for that month. That will affect me for the rest of my life. I am just so upset and angry. Crying.

I understand you and your father and mother are conflicting over money, religious beliefs, the proper use of alcohol and roles and responsibilities towards one another in the current situation where you are an adult living with your parents.

All of these are difficult and sometimes contentious topics.

Conflict is often about needs like stability, respect, or shared values.

Try to focus on understanding each other’s perspectives by using “I” statements (e.g., “I feel hurt when…”) and finding common ground, like shared goals for peace at home. Set boundaries if conversations get too heated, and don’t hesitate to seek outside help, like family counseling, if needed.

Take small steps to care for yourself during this time - it’s okay to prioritize your well-being.

They are extorting and abusing you. It is totally unchristian of them but unfortunately it would be impossible to convince the authorities that they are emotionally abusing you. The way they are acting is totally hypocritical

This Church of Christ sounds really culty.

Fun fact: Red wine and communion wafers symbolize the blood and flesh of Jesus, so basically it's like cannibalism.

That is so wrong that your dad stealing money from you. Can you get the money away from him? Or are your parents in charge of your money? The money is YOURS not his. Can you report him?

Does your dad drink? I thought he did. Weird how his views vary when it suits him.

No offense but... * pounds head onto table multiple times *
