There's this man at church, he's 33, and his mom happens to be a collaborator. Since he started to attend the church, I've felt like this man looks at me inappropriately. I've always felt like it was just me, my own imagination, but I just couldn't shake off the way he would look at me . He has tried several times to make conversation, but I always cut him off. In spite of the fact that I don't answer him, I'm practically rude to him, he just keeps persisting. I mean, if someone said "Hello," to you and your answer was just a simple "Hmm," wouldn't you get the hint that this person does not want anything to do with you? I don't know what I need to say or do in order for this guy to get off my back. It's gotten to the point where I fear for my own safety . The reason I say this is because after a Wednesday service, I was sitting at a table doing homework, and all of a sudden I see him carrying a chair and heading towards me. Well, he ends up sitting in front of me where he has a perfect view of my face. I tried covering my face, but felt that he was staring at me. I was right. I pretended to look out the window and he quickly turned away. He was looking at me . By this time I started to panic and told my sis that I was going to the car. The car happened to be right outside the door. After about 5 min, he gets up and looks outside to stare at me. I was sooo terrified. I honestly thought that he was going to attack me. What should I do?

I agree with Kathleen, although i would say that speaking to God would and is the best & first fing to do coz He understands you more. But really don't fear, God's with u!
God bless.

Hello there,

"Resist the devil and he will flee from you."

Although this man is not the devil, but probably used by him just IGNORE him.

I know that he is pushing, but don´t panic! Just keep on ignoring him, eventualy he will get tired.

And if you fear for your safety, 1st pray and second by a spray, this sprays that you through in the eyes of the person - just for your safety.

If someone was behaving like that with me, i would just say "can i help you?"

Before i made any kind of assumption, and the fact that he is older than you or that his mother is a collaborator should not make you feel intimidated because you are still a child of God. As long as you believe this never ever fear for your safety no matter where you are or whose company you are in. Keep seeking for a CLOSER relationship with God, so that you will be careless of the world. But of course as the rest said do speak to a pastor and im very sure that he will leave you alone in future.

PSALM CH 27 V 1

The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall i fear? The Lord is the strength of my life ;Of whom shall i be afraid?

God bless

I agree a hundred percent with kathlen, speak to a pastor AS SOON AS. Be wise. God bless you and protect u.

Hi Brin,

My suggestion would be that you speak to a Pastor straight away and dont feel like your hurting his mum, I am sure if his mum knew she would not be too pleased.

Discretly tell a Pastor and try not to be rude to this man anymore as he may react negatively, just avoid him - I am sure you didnt want to give him the wrong opinion by acting otherwise, but be careful.

Do this straight away, especially since your feeling unsafe.

Even though his mum is a woman of God, this does not mean he his.

God bless you and I will pray for your safety.
