Well so very recently (5 months ago) I went through the worst thing a mother could possibly go through having my son taken away (got some VERY bad advice and no one will help me now with no money), and not one of my "church family" has come to see how we (my daughter and I) are. To me, that is the job of the pastor. Then again, the pastor does not like me and I definitely do not like him. I just feel so hurt with all the horrible things my psychotic ex and his wife have done and not one person I thought would be there for us has been. This is something you NEVER get over. Believe me, I know. It has "only" been 5 months, but I know my ex, that rotten creep, will never let me see my son again. BTW, my son is MR and his horrible father decided to take him out of all his beloved activities (band, church). I am beyond mad and hurt, but what really gets me is how no one will help me. I can see if I was a drug addict or alcoholic or abusive in some way, but none of those things are true....of ME!! My ex does ALL those things. I had an attorney ask me how my ex can afford to keep an attorney "in his back pocket." I told him I wondered that too and can only figure he is selling now I have no way to protect my son. Disgusted with "church" and have decided to try something else. Maybe Wiccan? Anyway, could use prayers that this nightmare I never wake up from eventually ends.

Wiccan ?

Is NOT Christianity. If you think you have trouble now.. Fasten your dealt belt.

Love, church should be a supportive place to grow and feel the love of God. I recommend going to talk to the pastor and his wife. Tell them how unsupported you feel, but go with an open mind, dont be defensive and if that meeting does not go well consider changing churches. I shall pray for you. In the meantime pour your grief, anger and frustation out to God. He will never leave you or forsake you.

pastors are imperfect people just like the rest of us so mistakes will happen, but it sounds like the church is not functioning properly, not just the pastor but the whole congregation should have your back emotionally and if needed financially.

witchcraft is not the answer, light and dark practice gets power from the same source and he is here to "steal, kill and destroy"

I suggest praying to see if there is another church in your area where the king james Bible is preached and Gods love is shown in the people

He can take it also. I, too, have lost a child. For two years, I screamed at, cursed at, and even flipped off God for what I thought He had taken from me.
He never left my side.
The sun WILL rise again OP....Prayers sent.

Thank you!!

Thank you, too!! I am going to try another church down the road

Thank you SO much!! I need them I am doing the same thing telling people to stop praying...it does no good :( But I will pray for you, too!!

Just because of bad people in "churches" does not mean God does not care. I also years past had lies about me , an evil ex and my son removed. It was hell and thank God a man prayerd for me from chickpublications in Ca. It encouraged me as I was rock bottom and every where I truned I met lies and no one who cared. I also thought in anger maybe I should go and do the things accused of me. But Jesus saw me through and has been with me all through the rough times as he has with those who follow Him who have suffered through time. I died twice and once would have went to heaven and once to hell. Somweday I will see my son in Heaven and look forward to that day. Will pray for you.

amen, been there, done that... tried everything and anything and found out like my friend said- a man falls into a pit and many religious leaders pass by and ignore or say why he is there. Jesus stops, says nothing and with a look of love and compassion gently bends down and pulls the man out of the hole.

Remember it was "Church People" who stirred up the mob to crucify Jesus. Though he knew it would happen and died and rose again for us all.

I understand that you are hurting, but it would be a mistake for you to throw the baby out with the bath water.

There are plenty of non-Baptist Christian congregations who take care of hurting members.

Why the KJV. It is written in the veacular of the times and is confusing at best. In order to understand it you need a Strongs Concordance to explain in todays English what was said in centuries old English. I would suggest the NIV or NKJV, or ASV.
