Lord, Save Us From Your Followers?

If you don’t understand anybody else, can you have a real conversation with them? Dan Merchant says you can't. That's why the Emmy-award-winning filmmaker donned a white jumpsuit plastered with religious and anti-religious bumper stickers all over it, and traveled across America, interviewing prominent and not-so-prominent Americans about Christianity. The result is a very entertaining yet extremely thought provoking documentary entitled Lord, Save Us From Your Followers [click pic for more info].

Having just recently been thrown out of a SDA church & told we will have the law here next time to enforce this..I merely stood up & asked for 5 minutes to share & have the congragation have understanding,love and prayer with me as I had attempted to discuss matters with the pastor several time times over the past two years. I had invited him to my home never once would he come...I have had a horrible divorce, I have serious medical problems and financial issues. I was handed a letter by this men that told me pof this ban the day they appeared at my door I invited them in for a cup of tea hoping we could talk but no refusal just a envolope was given to me. Not one person will come and talk to me not one person knows my life story. I am very sad.

Renee, wow, you're going through some tough stuff. Don't know where you live, but hope you can find some love & support from family & friends.

Renee - SO sorry to hear about your situation. If the leadership of that church will not communicate with you, it's probably better that you're not a part of that church. Churches aren't safe places. Just safer than some. Feel free to call me if you want to talk to a pastor [me] who will listen: 419.882.6200. And don't forget that God, even when others don't, still loves you like crazy!!!
