I never said it was a religion.
nope, there's the third type - those in denial, they think they doing a great service to god, play a lot of politics at church, all they care is their treasures in heaven but they don't give a crap about those "poor in spirit". In other words, they just use people for their own benefit.
I heard of stories of mistreatment and abuse of power.
I heard of stories of politics in church, where some of the leaders surround themselves with those people who are second generation members of the church, whereas those outsiders, they whack them with double standard requirements.
Yeah, I even heard of stories of one pastor who use a lot of money to build an unnecessary building for his church, drained the funds of the church and cause half the congregation to leave. I won't say whichchurch that is, but for sure, they didn't need that huge building.....which they only use like several times a year and it was very far away from the other satellite churches anyway.
The decision to build the building wasn't democratic. Most of those nominated into the committee was his gang members. As "yes men", of course they all approved it.
Then there's another story of a church in PJ, a church leader influence a sister to dump her boyfriend, because he misused his leadership influences to brainwash her into thinking the boyfriend wasn't godly enough. After they broke up, he made his move on her and it was successful.
I have a Christian friend, she got pregnant when she was 22 because she had pre-marital sex with a church worker who was in charge of the Audio equipment. The church sacked the church worker and they impose their decision that the marriage between my friend and the church worker wasn't feasible. Next, they forced her to give away her baby for adoption.
5 years later, she remarried, but changed to another church, she cried every day wondering how is the child she never known is doing now.
There are some church people who are very dogmatic...very selfish, very critical, only think about themselves.

I can understand where you're coming. How I solve this dissatisfaction is to pray for them and still love them.
Fighting fire with fire will only cause more burns that you ever hope to subside. Prayers works.
Well all this, if you are a Christian, otherwise just take it as knowledge.
