Re: Problems at/with church.

(Anonymous) 2013-11-21 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
I stopped going to church regularly a while back, because I didn't agree with some of what they were preaching (especially w/r/t sexual orientation & gender...)

Apart from that, there are a lot of "cliques" at my church, and even my mum has commented that you only receive support from the church if you're friends with the right people. (I don't think this is even intentional; they just don't really notice other people outside of these groups.)

And we did have the occasional unpleasant, judgemental person. I don't know if this is the same where you go to church, but I've noticed a lot of them tend to be youth pastors, worship leaders, etc. and get lots of backpats from people, while also being kind of douche towards people who aren't in their circle.

My strategy with these people was to avoid them as much as possible. I'll probably start looking for a new church soon, if I can find one in my area that's actually accepting of LGBTQ people beyond "you can sit in the pew but we're not actually going to interact with you".

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. :(
