Submitting to the Pastors Idols of the heart
saladking:
Yes charrie, I think that we both feel what is referred to as Social anxiety.
Thankyou everyone for all your responses.
It is encouraging to share this experience with people that are supportive. :)
This experience is by no means the worst that I have encountered over the years, but it has been the last straw that has caused me to leave the Church. I carried this last experience for two years hoping that time would reduce my aggitation. It kept coming back on me and it became clear that it was not going to go away. My aggitation increased just prior to Christmas and that is what motivated me to send that last letter to the pastor to at least let him know that I know the Truth.
Like Falcoon003 said about saying to the Lord, "Forgive them Father for they don't know what they are doing." It gives me the thought that maybe when these people hear the word that they are forgiven, they will carry their shame and eonian contempt for a very long time.
It is tormenting to be the only one to see these truths, and have everyone around you against you and speaking up for the persecutors, and standing up for them that blaspheme God.
I found too that I was sick of hearing the leaders of the Church that I attended subtlely boasting of how they came out on top in a confrontation with another blind Christian with a different oppinion to them. What a dreadful mistake they have made to crush me, who is actually speaking the truth.

We must remember; It Is GOD WHO IS Doing all this, there is no place for (me) in this battle.
GOD IS using the foolishness of Preaching and the Weak (us) to DO OF HIS GOOD PLEASURE.
If we are crushed; we are crushed for HIS GLORY; so none should take offense. As Paul said, when
our affliction is great; we know that we are being perfected BY HIM (GOD). (I have Scripture for that)
Job 32:11-13
11-Behold, I waited for your words; I listened to your reasons while you searched out words;
12-yea, I paid attention to you, and behold, not one of you proved Job wrong, nor answered his sayings;
13-that you not say, We have discovered wisdom. It is God who will scatter him, not man.
Job 36:15
He delivers the afflicted by his affliction, and He opens their ears by oppression.
Job 37:23-24
23-We cannot find Him, the Almighty; He is exalted in power; and He does not violate justice and abundant righteousness.
24-So, men, fear Him; He does not see any who are wise of heart.
Psa 18:32
It is God who girds me with strength and gives my way to be perfect;
Isa 42:6-8
6- I, Jehovah, have called You in righteousness, and will hold Your hand, and will keep You,
and give You for a covenant of the people, for a Light of the nations;
7-to open blind eyes, to lead out the prisoner from the prison; those who sit in darkness from the prison.
8-I am Jehovah; that is My name; and I will not give My glory to another, nor My praise to engraved images.
2Co 4:6
Because it is God who said, "Out of darkness Light shall shine," who shone in our hearts to give the
brightness of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Isa. 42:6, 7, 16
Php 2:13
for it is God who is working in you both to will and to work for the sake of His good pleasure.
