I went to my church leaders, even the pastor, a total of 4 times looking for something like spiritual guidance or anything that I could carry with me. What a mistake.
Now when I walk into church, the sunday school people ask my wife 'how are you doing, you poor thing.' And I'm the one who tried to get attention.
I was told to pray and read scripture, but above all else, stay quiet so I don't draw attention.

"Females tend to become attention getters a lot quicker than males."

Sorry if I sound the slightest bit pissed, but this is the latest in a long string of hideous disrespect toward me not only as a male, but a human being. And the hypocricy of the church as well as it's leaders, remains intact.
I am afraid there is a payback for attention seeking when one is young desirable, because everyone matures and dependance on others as well as exclusivity in relationships become important. Even with church leqadership. I see many 'poor single mothers' recieve attention while the grandmothers remain unrecognized in the nursing home. And this Ms. Sept Morn should be taught, now.
I now know exactly how Dr. Laura Schlessinger felt as she was being de-syndicated across the nation, because her message forced people to examine themselves in a way that the highly overpaid theraputic profession was unable.
I suppose though, when I feel too oppressed and abused, I can at least thank God I wasn't born non-white and male.
