I found out today that my bible study group has put me on the inactive roster because I haven’t been active enough according to them. I am so disheartened and discouraged. I thought these were my friends and I looked forward to the communications (three times a week) on the weeks I couldn’t go. Now I am cut off from that. It’s just unacceptable and unchristian behavior. I noticed a distinct difference in their treatment of me when I shared my diagnosis with the leader and one of her officers but I overlooked it and kept going in the hopes of educating them by my behavior as time went by.

My daughter has urged me for close to a year now to find a different bible study group. She finds them to be unwelcoming and cliquish (she has been to events with me). I’ll get over it...it just hurts right now and it hit at the wrong time. This has been a big part of my life. I don’t know whether I will go back or not. I certainty don’t feel welcome.

Warm wishes to all and hugs to those that are struggling.
