I feel no desire to attend church or have anything to do with it anymore.
I also share youth minister/interim with a guy. I haven't been to church in about a month.
I feel no guilt about it. I guess because I feel wronged. I feel like the church really doesn't give a damn about me as a person.

I was really sick for a while a few weeks back, and I missed church. No one called no one visited no one asked about me when I got back. I realize they can't magically know that I was sick, but I feel that if the church is supposed to be an entity which rests on the idea of community then it should show concern.

No concern was shown for me. No one called to see why I wasn't there. I have been gone a month and no one cares. I think this is part of the reason why I feel so apathetic about church. I feel left out and unloved. Perhaps my own selfishness is leaking through.....

I'll pray for you.

You haven't been around here as much either, but someone noticed.

[OiBoyz]

I missed you too.

Maybe it's time to tell them what you said here?

[Thrash]

Thank you for your prayers.

I hope I don't sound like I am thinking of withdrawing from Church in general, I am more just having problems with this church... I know some of this is probably my fault, my fault for thinking in such selfish ways.

But thanks for your prayers.

Hey man, I've felt the same. I attend a very legalistic church that has never really accepted me and always singled me out. But there are always people who do notice, and care, and they pray! I'm praying for you too!

How are you connected relationally to the church?

You have my prayers. I also would say thanks for reminding me to be a more concerned member of the body. I'm very guilty of being amongst the group of people you described. I guess mostly I'm guilty of leaving it to someone else....just assuming someone else will make the call.

I kinda know how you feel man. I'll be praying for you.
