i was at the hospital yesterday for my wound care. a lady and her husband older, were walking around handing out flyers for their church and inviting people to church the Rodeo church,they had a stack said they going to put them on doors.

When she handed me the stupid flyer I accepted it and said thank you and allowed her mumble into me about her stupid church. I was nice the whole time. I am use to zealous conservative Christian pulling this crap in the bible belt Mesquite tx.

SO after I just thought great now I can get her out of my hair and smiled politly.

Smile and nod.

After that if that wasn't enough OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!OMG!The woman actually walked up to me grabbed my shoulders and forced me to hug her I could not get out of it.

I called the hospital today and go the number of the security. I am telling you they better not pull that with me again. i had night terrors about it last night. OMG! Next time it happens ill go in a corner and call security that can not happen again.

Why do Christians do stuff like this?

I've never seen any Christian, conservative or otherwise, invade a stranger's personal space like that, so asking "Why do Christians do stuff like this" is a nonsensical question to me. She was just trying way too hard to be friendly.

Not just Christians, but anyone. I am not a hugger, never have been. This doesn't mean I am distant or hateful, it means that I do not enjoy hugs. Usually I politely let people hug me, but no, I do not need a hug!

That would be me as well.

I'm happy I live in a place where we have laws against proselytising in hospitals. I'm sorry this invasion of personal space happened to you.

Ok well I will admit I have not had a hug in awhile from Christians so maybe I should have said religious people for all religions instead.

However I am concerned about her safety too. You know I am receiving porn addict and I am not dangerous but I know few people including women and men in my SAA group for that matter in AA too,who are not safe to hug.

I hope she not continue to hug folks strangers in public. I don't think its wise for Christians to be witnessing in public like that with all the shootings going in? Or any religion.

I really hope so. I'm used to people wanting hugs without thought or concern some people just are not comfortable with such invasions of space. And it sucks more when you can either just accept it and be uncomfortable or tell them to bugger off and come off as harsh and cold because you got worked up over a hug.
