Subject disrespectful senior citizen. 4 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 1: Good morning, Stephen Shirley. I am a thirty two year 5 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: old pastor with somewhat of an issue. My wife and 6 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: I are happily married and we have the typical issues 7 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: like the next couple. Here's the situation. There is one 8 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: particular lady in my church who really freaks me out 9 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: and rubbed my wife the wrong way. I try to 10 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: avoid contact with this woman because she often says stuff 11 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 1: like come here and let me feel on you, or 12 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: come here and let grandma Grandma make you feel good. 13 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: This lady is in her eighties, but she doesn't have 14 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: any limits. She sometimes will randomly stop by the job 15 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: and bring me lunch or offered to take me to lunch. 16 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: Not only that her actions are more than words, she 17 00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: has actually touched me inappropriately several times. She is very 18 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: rude to my wife at church. She will say say 19 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: things to my wife like you need you need me 20 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: to teach you how to take care of a man, 21 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: or do you need me to cook for you, pastor 22 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: do you need me to cook for pastor. My wife 23 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: has told me that when she calls our house, she 24 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: doesn't even speak to her, but instead we'll just ask 25 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: to speak to me. Now, my wife isn't as saved 26 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,199 Speaker 1: as I am, and she has come close to confronting 27 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: this woman. I don't want this situation to get more 28 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: out of control than it is. Now, how do you 29 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: think I should handle this? I don't want to look 30 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 1: like a week pastor, nor do I want my wife 31 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: to catch a case behind this old lady. Okay, are 32 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: you sure this woman is in her eighties? That's what 33 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,199 Speaker 1: I have to ask you, because most eighty year olds 34 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: that we know about, uh, you know, they're sweet, they're loving, 35 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: the caring, especially the ones that are in the church. Yes, 36 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: eighty year olds I'm talking about in the church. All right, 37 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: we'll have part two of Steve's response.
