I really love the church I have recently joined however I do not think the pastor like me. whenever i come into the church he just stares at me and whisper to the men. He's married and has been for 35 yrs. I wear long shirts and loose pants or dresses so my dress is not offensive. I also try to wear little make up since they are ame. I am really modest. When I walk up to give an offering I look down cause he used to run off the stage now I don't go up there any more cause i don't want to cause trouble. I went up the alter for special prayer and when I got back in the room none of the women would pray with me and kept passing over me until I was the last one.People tell me I am pretty all the time but I don't like to act like I am cause I want people to like me. One day I tried to attend a xmas fellowship at my church and felt uncomfortable I had to leave.People are friendly but I just don't understand why the pastor hates me he along w/another pastor who acts like I am the devil

Just to add I cry about this because I love the church and his preaching. I am trying really hard, but It is a large chruch so I just can't go upto him and talk to him cause you have to be introduced first. Why are people treating me like this?

Could be that you are reading into a lot of their actions. If you could really know what they are talking about or thinking, it probably isn't even about you. Sounds like you are really stuck on yourself. If it is really so bad at this church, go to another one. If the same things happen to you at every church you go to, look in the mirror.

Why dont you confront him about it??? Dear, the curch is one place where you should feel comfortable and at peace the most. You are there for God not for the pastor! If you dont wanner talk to him then I suggest that you ignore him. Ask yourself why do you go to church!!! Ignore what people have to think or say or how they behave. You only care about yourslef and God, if that is how the pastor and the people behave like you say then seriously, I dont know why all of you are going to church. the bible keeps saying Not to condem or judge others and it seems to me that they are. Like I said it is either you go up and talk to the pastor, or you simply ignore him and the others, you just do your part. I am sure you will feel much better and you will be blessed for your good deeds.

Sounds like the pastor and other people at this church have a real problem. Start looking for a real church where people treat you like a human being.

Don't wait to be introduced to the pastor. Introduce yourself. There is nothing wrong with that. Just go up to him, lead him out of earshot of others, and ask him to talk with you. "Hi, I'm xxx. I'm having a problem and I was wondering if you would help me with it." Express to him your concerns, but don't accuse him of doing anything wrong like purposely avoiding you. Watch what you say, and listen much. I see no way of resolving this situation unless you talk to the pastor or switch to another church. It's his responsibility to make you feel comfortable.

an identical unclean spirit that Jesus became into commanding 2,000 years in the past in the bible passage stills exists on the instant. Unclean spirit being a fallen angel became demon. apart from, there are people who're alive on the instant, who've demons/fallen angels controlling them.
