You began your whole tirade with the assumption (and remember what happens when you "assume"?) that YOU were not invited - everyone on this board was invited. It was pointed out to you. You decided to throw that back in peoples' faces with another assumption that alcohol is served every time, by pointedly asking if there were any non-alcohol events. Why would a big gathering cater to just one person's needs and as it was pointed out to you *again*, there is a whole group of people who would make sure you didn't "fall". Children aren't allowed simply because this is a chance for adults to go and be adults without having to run after their kids - something every parent needs from time to time and which we don't get to do very often.
My silk-wrapped, gold-embossed parchment invitation wasn't sent either - I and everyone else *here* knew and understood that a general announcement IS the invitation. Your response after all the inviting and bending over backwards for your "needs"? A mean, small, petty insult....which clearly fell flat, and well it should. Your Pastor would be so proud. Maybe someone here should make him aware of your insulting and childish behavior - if you even go to that church at all....whoever you are.
