It's not like churches have carte blanche to act as nasty as they want to and all Christians are somehow obligated to pick one and attend somewhere or they lose the label.<br /><br />Because if that's true? I'm not a Christian any more. *shrug*Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-20153116255763936332012-07-19T21:58:20.072-05:002012-07-19T21:58:20.072-05:00Oo, I've BEEN to way more than that in 15 year...Oo, I've BEEN to way more than that in 15 years... but I seriously attended only about 3. It would be so much easier if they just hung out the standard "autistics not welcome" sign that must be stashed in the back of useyourbrains' church. And, well, about every church. :)<br /><br />PS. Also will have to message you on more particulars. :)Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-74639779056530498952012-07-19T20:53:42.881-05:002012-07-19T20:53:42.881-05:00I am sure you will find it not shocking in the lea...I am sure you will find it not shocking in the least that Vivy's family has been through 7 local churches in 15 years. lolBlondeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11827536147609261504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-7394412015489646622012-07-19T11:43:38.952-05:002012-07-19T11:43:38.952-05:00Which is why I'd take a break.Which is why I'd take a break.Ahermitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12246307693236606434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-22875967963967120222012-07-19T11:11:16.873-05:002012-07-19T11:11:16.873-05:00I hadn't thought of the food pantry ministry.....I hadn't thought of the food pantry ministry... but wouldn't that be interesting?? Free meal if you stay for whole service. The church would have to do a lot of changing/accomodating, and so would the new people who were attending.Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-22642448735542051562012-07-19T11:10:04.817-05:002012-07-19T11:10:04.817-05:00I think that's really it.

Or even things can change and you have to leave.<br /><br />I've seen the "hopper" type that just meh isn't really committed to much of anything, ever, but what I see more often are people who have been hurt or whose churches have changed in some way and they felt powerless to stop it.Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-90499328762445263962012-07-19T11:03:24.021-05:002012-07-19T11:03:24.021-05:00THIS.

I am still in the "mad at church and not sure where Jesus fits in" stage.<br /><br />I love Jesus.

My mom is a devout catholic, and the sweetest person in the world!<br /><br />Last time I went, I saw the preschool had a few demands before children would be admitted. First, they must be potty trained, and then they must be able to communicate their wants and needs. NO AUTISTICS ALLOWED, in other words. Once Ben flies the coop, I'm going back. Not to be holy, but to help out mama's like me. In the name of the church, even though they don't deserve it. I tried to get Ben into a catholic school when he was in 2nd grade...they didn't want him. I feel no guilt for the church leaving me. To honor my mother, though, and to give me something to do in my old age, I may go back once Ben flies the coop. Just to show 'em what I think Jesus would really do.Usethebrains Godgiveyouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026223483117357541noreply@blogger.com
