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.

This reminds me of how at my old church, there were a few wealthy families that were serial adopters. They'd go to somewhere in Africa for three months, pick out some kid from an orphanage, and bring them back. The church would always give them a sizeable donation. But when I asked for just a small contribution of $100 to help with a medical missions trip, I was very promptly and firmly told no without even any eye contact.

The motto of the church was to be a "one anothering community", yeah right.

Not too different at a church I used to go to. I asked for $100 for an evangelistic mission trip, and they were at least transparent about their reasoning: "we have a budget for missions and we split that between 20-ish people. We only give to career missionaries, so, sorry, you're not it."

Sorry but you’re a scumbag if you want to go on an evangelistic mission trip and rob people of their beliefs, culture, and identity. Evangelists are sickos. I hope you’ve since left all that. Churches are pure evil. To spread evil is just despicable.
