Well did something today I didn't think I would ever have to do. Due to an email from a "fellow" church member about a prayer request we had asked about, I have taken the majority if not all of my associates connected to the church off my friends list. If this person (who is a high level staffer) has that much problem with me or my family speaking our mind, and expressing our feelings when we go through some majorly difficult times, then why should we be associated with them.
Plus on top of that, the churches thing is to get connected into small groups. We tried that and even tried "hanging out" with other members of the church. What happened? We pretty much got the cold shoulder. Does this turn me away from church? No it will not. We will just have to find another place to worship. I have gotten to a point in my life when I just don't care anymore, about what people think about me.
Out of respect to the people I still have on-line associated with this church I am not saying any names or organizations. I have tried turning the other cheek with lots of people at the church and all I have been getting in return is sore cheeks.
I have taken several other people off my "list" also due to their insincerity in relation to a recent death in our family. Maybe It is just time I do away with organized religion altogether. Or is this just the ramblings of a man losing his mind and heart?
