> It has really shocked and appaled me. I am Christian so feel I can talk about churches and wow, I can't believe some of the behavior I have seen. completely the opposite of what Christ taught. was in a bible study about how to minister to one another. a very large bible study. during said study (not at the study but around the time of it) i slipped and got a bad concussion. i live alone and was bed ridden for two weeks after getting out of the emergency room. bed riden! i contacted the head of the bible study who lives around the corner from me said she said she was too busy to come see me!!!!!!!!!! one other person called and i said i could use a visit and the person never came and i heard nothing from anyone else in the large study. as a member of the study i would have expected the leader to go back to the group and inform them someone in the group had been injured and needed help. didn't happen.....and wow, I was really hurt deep down inside. considered the group a group of 'new friends' i was hoping to get to know. never went back needless to say. but couldn't believe the head of the bible study actually saying she was too busy to come visit me.
Inexcusable....sorry this happened to you.Sometime when I similiar to you...I have found great comforth in the following verse:
1 Samuel 30:6 KJV
And David was greatly distressed ; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved , every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.Sometime we must also "encourage ourselves in The Lord"
