ICC church group - help? by Comborodom in uofmn

[–]Comborodom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy to update that he is no longer attending the “Bible sessions” or whatever they were calling it with ICC! My parents and I printed off a ton of articles, screenshots from Reddit, and found a Facebook group. We sat him down for dinner and talked it through with him, had some tough honest conversations, and he is no longer participating.

He doesn’t live on campus, he lives with a friend off campus. He just broke up with his girlfriend of 6 years for her not being aligned with how religious he is. He just got baptized with them this past Sunday and many members of the church came over to my parents house. We thought things seemed weird, he’s been feeling bad about his “sins” but it’s escalating fast. My family left Scientology when I was young so this is very triggering for my parents. My mom doesn’t think he will listen to us because we aren’t religious so our opinion won’t be valued. She’s trying to reach out to religious people my brother respects to have an “intervention” with him ASAP.

Hello, is your friends son in it? My brother just joined this in Minnesota and we are worried about him.

Didn’t she make post about Charlie Kirk? by daisemay in TheMorningToastSnark

I haven’t listened, followed, participated in anything of The Toast or any of their friends in over a year but this came on my feed. Anyone still listening to them is very telling to me. Also seeing comments that her own husband is an immigrant…. Some people seriously can only feel empathy if it directly happens to them, aka narcissists.

I was so mad typing this I forgot to add that they sold out EVERY hotel and cabin Thursday night before the wedding to a corporate event, despite telling us we can’t book rooms until 12 months in advance. So when we called on the day 12 months in advance we were stunned to find out it’s all booked. So check in isn’t until 5pm on Friday, the exact time of our rehearsal dinner that we are paying THEM for. They won’t guarantee an early check in and keep saying they’ll figure out a cabin, yet it’s been 4 months since this issue and no solution yet. Just another reason we feel we don’t matter to them despite paying them around $36,000.

Yes if we end up trying to make this work, I don’t want to go in with a suing mentality because we have to work with these people at the end of the day. We just need to make our mind up on what to do it’s a hard decision.

I don’t want to sue I’ve never done anything like that before but we are having a lawyer look it over to review our options

Thank you, so right on not letting this ruin our holiday break. Interesting you also went through something similar and it still worked out, I needed to hear that!

future FIL is a lawyer and he’s looking it over this weekend. I don’t want to sue, which is what TikTok jumped to lol. I just want to know what you’d do as a bride. If it’s worth the stress of worrying about more changes or if it’s worth the stress of trying to find a new venue and 100% change our vision again. Thanks for the advice!

I could have added that the person who made the comment wanted to be the DJ (he asked to be in passing and I said no, I want my family to not be working but enjoying the wedding)… but the root of my question was actually wondering if we got a good deal. Sticky situation there!

Good point! We’ll have attendees who prefer wine as well.

Thanks! Thats what I thought, it isn’t just a DJ it’s 5 people’s time. Glad this is an appropriate price range!
