OMG! my housemate and i agreed to go to church today. an hour before i am about to prepare, my housemate asked me if i will still go to church. i asked why?? he just told me he couldn't refuse the person asking him to join in going to the church. i have to be honest with my feelings and to God that i don't even want to see the shadow of this person. the thought of going to church while my mind is trying to figure out what would this person think and plan (again) to attack me or gossip me around. i canceled my plan to go to church then. what surprised me more is my housemate receiving the person in our apartment. what else would you do if this happens to you?

I think I will just stay home and let my friend go to the church with the enemy. I definitely am not going to church with her Who knows if she is going to act to you like she is more religious and blessed than you and if she comes to the apartment to visit my friend then I will just stay in my room but I will make sure to warn my friend to never get me involve in any of their discussion, or never knocked my room door to inform me that she's around. Because I'm really not a person who can pretend around someone that I do not like especially if that person had done something to let me down, I'd rather to just stay away and have my peace

i'll keep my peace like you would do. i really had to make my voice louder so my friend would understand that i never wanted here visit us in the apartment in the first place. so i told my friend, not even to give that person a chance to peep through the door of our room.

I haven't had the same experience as yours but I happen to arrived at our office chapel and found out that my enemy was there. We were the only people inside and as much as I wanted to pray that morning, my mind keeps wandering.

that's what i mean to say. how can i concentrate or at least participate in the mass if at the side of my vision, i am seeing this person... or i am aware that she is as well present. honestly, i am aware of what God wants us to do. to love our enemies. but i can do that without the presence of that enemy.

I would probably just ignore it or talk and be honest to my friend how I feel about the situation. If that person happens to be my friend's friend and he has no choice then I would stuck in my room. I'm not the kind of person who pretends that I'm okay with that but the presence of that guy would just be totally ignored by me.

i agree with you torchablazed. i actually strongly held my friend telling him not to allow his friend to take any steps to go around our apartment. so my friend let her stay in one place while waiting for him. i wish they will leave now. i am writing this and it's actually happening at the same time. ironically. lol.

If that thing happened to me, I probably just go to my room so I will not see my enemy. Or probably will ask my housemate why that person is visiting her/him. Who knows? Maybe this person wants to make a move so you too guys could settle your differences.

my housemate is aware of the issue this "enemy" did to me. but from my housemate's side, he doesn't have any problem with her. in fact they are quite closely acquainted. but i reminded my housemate not to let this person even take a glance inside our room. she can even exhaust everything from your pocket. she treats herself as if she is everybody's sister or bestfriend. but eventually just waiting chances for benefits. sort of things like that she loves to do.

well ,maybe if you hate a person maybe he is so different somewhere else like in church that you even can be friends with him.

not a chance i guess. this person actually befriended all of us in our community at work. every time she approaches each one of us before, after some time, everyone just hated her from her attitude. she is a user, taking advantage about everything and anything from anyone, and a gossiper. she is literally a black sheep. she can use and reason everything to convince someone to hate me. she just did that to me actually.
