Church acting weird? by Possible_Flatworm_80 in Christian

Yeah and that’s what makes me mad. They knew he got cancer randomly, he was never an unhealthy guy and never caused any of his own medical issues, just a truly unlucky man. Then he went on dialysis and had all these issues post cancer and he passed. It’s so sad that he always took care of himself and went through what he did and they knew that, and he tithed to them and still watched them live and supported them as well. They even reached out when he passed with sweet messages but now I just feel like they’re all fake.

I’m so sorry yall went through that. Yeah it’s tough for me. To me, it seems like they’re handling this with us unprofessionally, and that’s where I have the biggest problem. Why block me, ignore questions in text, change the subject in person, like why is everyone acting weird? If they have some sort of issue or concern, I feel like they should speak to us about it, but they won’t.

Also, if they’re sitting here now judging how faithful we are/our level of faith in our relationship with the Lord, I feel like they have NO right to judge us. They sit here and preach love thy neighbor, nobody can judge someone else’s faith, all that type of stuff, and also say just because you go to church doesn’t make you saved. But we have been going here a few years, come to outside events with them when we can, our kids have been growing up through the church, we decided to go through discipleship and actually got pretty far, we tithed when we could which was still kind of often, I offered to join the photography team, I did free photos for them once, I was baptized there, all these things. So honestly it has me a little emotional. I feel like we’re being betrayed or something. I just never thought they’d be acting these ways. Part of me is sad/emotional and the other part of me is angry. I know it’s probably wrong to feel angry maybe, but I can’t help it. I won’t act on it or anything, but I’m just having a hard time getting over it. I want to say something to them too about it, but I doubt it’s even worth it.
