I honestly don't care if they (the church mgmt.) notice me missing or not. The youth minister who has the paper knows that we are boycotting, the youngest boy has made that clear because Blondie has been boycotting the youth group stuff as well and he asked where she has been.
So you would think that if Blondie, being a newly confirmed member of the church and member of his group he ministers, isn't important enough in his eyes to get her what is rightfully hers than he isn't much of a leader or very good at setting a good example.
So I think you are correct in how little we actually matter. We may have to find another church and Salem Lutheran in Tomball really isn't that far a drive on Sunday mornings. That might be our option, but right now I am holding firm and so is she.
We may have to do as @lizelle suggested and start spending Sunday mornings in front of the church with protest signs.
