3 /5 Sea Girl: I Enjoy the services and service times. But I did not realize after joining how much emphasis is put on what you need to be DOING. If your not doing your part then you don’t make the mark of being useful to the church.. I think that’s why there are more young people attending and not older ones. No one has compassion for the elderly because they can’t do the all things REQUIRED to be a member and be in good standing. I expressed my health issues and no sympathy. My heart hurts because I wanted to be a part of this church but it’s all about what they need from you. Small groups were to have the compassion, but all I heard was what are we doing to help everyone else in the community. But when I needed them there was no compassion.I guess it’s by works that we become a part of the church. If you can’t work and do your part then your not worthy. If you can’t keep up due to illness then your not living up to the agreement when you joined by being useful no matter what. After making my concerns known, it was said sorry you feel that way, with no compassion on where I am in life or the issues about my health. One day we will know the truth on, where our hearts are. I pray the Lord show me a different side or guide me to where I need to be. The truth is, it really hurts to not be accepted. And to not be shown compassion.
