Need help please? Am I Guilty?
so i just got my 3rd interview with best buy and before that i use to work morning 3 hours with my church on a payroll 5 days a week $7.00 an hour...but i havent even got the job yet and the church administrator was talking to me abt my interview and she said that if i left my job at church because i was offered a job at best buy i would be dishonoring God. And that i was being a bad servant of god but the thing is at church i only make 80 dollars a week and with that little money i can barely save up to buy a car i am 19 graduated from high school 2 years ago but the thing is my adminstrator seems nice but she is a very controlling person so is her husband and the our pastor..I feel like every time i am with them i am being emotionally manupilatived, i feel like i constantly have to please them and i cant be myself around them and i saw this experince as an attempt to guilt trip me into feeling bad about what i am doing? so tell me is she right tat i am a bad person or is my suspicions about her correct?

please find another church to attend. you're exactly right about them being emotionally abusive to you. god does not want you to be a slave to any man or woman on earth. those people are blasphemers for using god's name that way. i'd even go so far as to say they're evil. they're trying to use you and keep you from having a life of your own. this is your life and you have a right to follow the path that will help you have a full life.
don't tell them that you're going to leave. go find another church to join first. talk to the pastor there, take him into your confidence and tell him you need to get away from those other people and ask him to help you by having him talk to them. they won't be able to pull their tricks on him like they've been doing to you.
then leave and never go back. cut them off and do not speak to them again. get a restraining order if you need to.

She's manipulating you. You aren't dishonoring anyone by trying to make a better financial choice. She sounds like a toxic person to begin with.
If you really think you're dishonoring your god in some way, maybe find a different way to give back to the church. But in all honestly, they'll do fine without you.

You are 19 and your own person. It seems a little ludicrous that you have to devote your every move to God. I'm sure he will accept you still if you go to work at best buy, where i'm sure they will actually pay you more. (:
You are not a bad person. You are right for being cynical toward the situation...sounds more like she is self-righteous than anything.
I say take the job!
