This has nothing to do with David Cook, but I need to vent

So my husband and I have always been the type of people to be in church every Sunday and Wednesday, well we were up until the last year and a half. Since then we have completly changed, our attitudes, our marriage, our kids, all different and not for the better. My husband and I were on the verge of a divorce when we decided to try and get God back in our lives and our marriage. We knew He had never left us, but we had left Him. So after only three services back the most mind boggling thing happens and we are right back were we started. The Pastor verbally attacked my husband accusing him of speaking badly of him behind closed doors and it would not be tolerated. Then he went on to say should he hear that my husband was speaking bad of him again we would not be welcome back to the church. Now can you believe that!!! First of all even if my husband did speak bad of him, has this man heard of forgiveness??? But even above that to jump on the band wagon of gossip and believe words from another person is just ridiculous. My husband has always been one to defend our Pastor in tough situations, but not anymore. This man is lucky that my husband respects the house of God or I have a funny feeling he would have been missing his front teeth. Needless to say, we won't be returning to this church under a pastor who would act out in such a uncontrolled manner. Now its back to the drawing board. I hate trying to find a good church and starting over. I know this has nothing to do with David Cook, but I am soooo pissed off and I needed to get this off my chest.

Thanks.

I am sorry you and your husband had to go through something so hurtful. My husband and I have been through something similar twice.Don't give up on church ,there are a lot of good ones out there. Everything happens for a reason and you would never be looking for a new church if this hadn't happened.

Hey it's OK...your blogs don't *have* to be about David. Smiling

I really really REALLY know how you feel. A couple of years ago, my family left the church I had gone to my entire life because of a spat that I had with the Pastor, after which neither he nor the deacons had any interest in forgiving me and letting it go. Instead, they pushed my family out of the church. It really sucked.

It's unfortunate to see a Pastor that doesn't practice what he preaches (literally). I hope you and your family are able to find a good church home soon.
