I agree completely. Why would you sit up in that mess?
If I told you the things that happened to me, it probably sounds like I made it all up while watching
Days of our Lives. I understand totally what its like to realize what people are like really on the inside.
I have met a number of people who call themselves "Christian", and do things like you've described. It's annoying, but I've had so many people treat me badly I'm used to it.
I really do hope you find some other place. Even if it's not well-known or all those other things...

This situation goes far beyond anything imaginable. If I told you the whole story I'm sure no one would believe me. It's like something out of a soap opera.
I can expect no apologies from the Christians who have hurt me. They all seem to feel justified.
This is not to say the whole church is like this. Most of them love me and think very highly of me. But the higher archy - the ones who are aware of my situation - have behaved (IMO) horrendously. It's a handful of people, but they run the church
I cannot be there and focus my attention on God, so there is no point in staying.
I have done everything I can to repair and make peace. My conscience is clear. But part of forgiveness is letting go. I cannot do that and stay at this church.
Thanks again for all the support and prayers.
