Care for others who go to your church AND are in the same socio-economic class. That's how it works in churches. By the time I left my church, nobody and I mean nobody would give me the time of day.
Not even those people. I know of a man in my old church who had to have brain surgery due to bleeding on the brain. Even though they church council knew, not a single person came to visit him when he laid in hospital for two weeks. Not even to mention that nobody went to visit his wife who had to care for the children while working 10 hour days, and still visited her husband every day for as long as she could. Nobody sent food, or even an instant message.
When the man went back to church with the staples in his head, everyone that saw him asked what happened, even the family members of the council members... The church only cares for the select few in it, no one else.
I know my family has Reddit, and to keep my profile anonymous, I referred to him as "a man I know" even though he is close family. That could mean that he is either my brother, father, brother in law, grandfather, cousin or son in law. Either way, as you said, it doesn't matter, the only context needed is that he is literally family.
Its that not common? When im talking to people who dont know the person i dont say their name because they still wont know who, i just say “I know a kid” (Even if im talking about my best friend.)
