MIL and church.
My MIL tells us every time she sees us if we’ve been going to church now my husband and I don’t . She tells us you have to go you need to go and I’m all for going and I do believe in god. She also seems to think it can only be in Spanish and only be Pentecostal. We have told her before we found our own church we really like and she is still suggesting churches only in Spanish ( I do not speak Spanish) and only her religion. Now I do not bash on anyone’s religion but she has no problem doing it saying all the other ones only do it for money and this and that. I also was not raised speaking tongue (she believes it’s Hebrew my husband tells me it’s not and I was never taught it was). When we tell her these things she just says oh my you don’t have the holy spirit and what not. Her church also asks people to donate twice during the Service and once a month to donate 60 extra dollars. They also say bring stuff like napkins cups bowls towels and all that for god not for the church that they don’t use them it’s for god, this is also asked to be done once a month. She tells us the only way we can be good with god is pretty much if it’s her way and that god does not like us disrespecting her wishes and my husband putting me before her. She says the wife comes very last in the life of who comes first. To her it goes God number 1 her number 2 her husband number 3 her and her husbands family number 4 the church family number 5 then me at number 6. My mom says it seems like he’s raised more cult like with the way the women are to be treated in her word and the woman’s jobs. I would never say anything like that though because my husband has never done anything to show me it was like that, even if his mom makes it sound like it was. I don’t know what to do or tell her. My husband tries to talk to her at dinner and she just yells and tells him to shut up and listen to her because that’s how it is.
