so now a few of the older members remember the drama with the organist at my church. new year, new drama.
so we had our choir anniversary today. but to backtrack, leading up to the day, we had problems in rehearsal because the organist didnt learn to the material, if not barely even listened to it. He was called on it in one rehearsal, but still making excuses he refused to accept responsibility that he needs to step up. It was so bad that Wednesday (this Wed, so thats 4 days before the event) I had to work late, and came in to witness the choir singing acapella with him sitting at the organ because he didnt know the music and they were so relieved when i walked in the door. now we been given the songs since september and u tellin me 4 days before u still dont know the songs? when asked have u listened to the song (because he didnt know where the breaks and changes were) he replies "i listened to part of it".
so after the service is over he starts pressing my aunt (shes the choir president) for pay for the service. i mean the dude wouldnt leave. she said she told the financiers to prepare an envelope and was told that the word came from the pastor and head deacon that he wasnt getting anything because he's part of the choir and they gave him his pay he was supposed to get after the first service. So first of all im like "Dude, after not doing anything u were supposed to do in preparation, how dare u even fix ur face to ask for anything!!!" So he was pressing her so hard, she was going into her purse to give him the money knowing that they'd reimburse her. I told her "Dont come out of your pocket for that. Tell him he needs to talk to the pastor and the head deacon." But he kept pressing her, knowing full well that the pastor was downstairs and he could have talked to him at any time. But he kept pressing her. The pastor gave word that he'll take care of what needs to be taken care of. So me and my brother left it alone. So we find out that the organist came to my aunt and tells her that "she better find his money!!"
I mean seriously, you gonna press a woman over a money issue she not even in charge of? But thats pretty much a threat, and thats my aunt, and now its personal!
I mean, what kinda foolishness is that? I mean christian or not, you not gonna come at my family like that and expect me to just sit there and quote Bible scriptures. over what? like $50? over something that u clearly dont even deserve?
I got time to calm down now, but he's seriously lucky that he left already before we found all that out. now i dont have no ounce of respect for this dude, so how do i play in church? it was hard enough keepin my cool after previous issues. but this?!!
