I am in a situation where my wife died a year ago, a few people came to the service/sent cards, but not very many, and afterwards nobody said a word to me since, nobody called, nobody came over, not a hug, nothing. no love no kindness anything. I realize I could have left and looked for another church, but I just had my world change radically and I didn't want everything to change all at once so I stayed. It's not always feasible to just leave all the time. And it isn't for me right now. But I don't have any peace about giving money to a church when I am involved in nearly everything in the church and nobody makes me a part of their busy life. I'm sick of hearing that people are busy - I don't care. They are busy but they could include me as a part and they don't.And I don't think it's me at all.People freak out and they can't handle death. That's not my fault.
I don't think I should give to any ministry where I'm not viewed and functioning as a part of it.
