There are 2 specific incidences:
My Grandparents have been going to the same church, twice a week, for over 50 years, this is their social circle, friends, a complete way of life. 3 years ago my grandma became very ill, she has been unable to visit the church and in 3 years not one person, even the priest has phoned, been round, offered to help. Nothing.
Another friend was unable to go to church as she was caring for her sick mother. The priests 'support' for her, was to tell her that she better get her mother to convert before she died, otherwise she would burn in hell. Just what you want to hear when your non-religious mother is dying.
What a caring religion, wonder why followers are turning away? Any thoughts?
