Driftie.... I am so sorry to hear this....it must be really tough-going for you.... but now, I understanding all threads.....But please do understand as human, we do err. Nonetheless, we can hear these types of stories everywhere. Yes....there are alot of hypocrites in the churches today just like they were alot of hypocrite scribes and pharisees during Jesus' time. A big portion of the preaching in the Gospel, notably in the Book of Matthew was dedicated to Jesus rebuking the scribes and the pharisees. In fact, all the four cannonical Gospels spoke of Jesus 'cleansing of the temple" and this really underscores that God indeed is extremely unpleased with they way His temple and His church are being run. These accounts of 'the cleansing of the temple by Jesus' were 'fine' examples of what true hypocrites are. But on the other hands, we must also take note that there were many God-fearing people in ancient times just like they are many of them in modern times. Do take care and again, I am sorry to hear your sad story....at least now I understand where you coming from.
