We left because the Assembly of God church we attended began to cater to only the youth, those yucky praise choruses, programs only for youth, no accommodations for seniors or activities. Last straw was being told NOT to get up to go to RR during sermon. I have a gastro disease that requires frequent RR trips or you are going to have PUKE or DIARRHEA all over your nice carpet we sat on the last row so as not to be to disruptive. So don’t tell me I can’t go to the RR when needed, seats were not senior friendly either. How about turning the over loud sound down too? We wear hearing aids you are blasting on over load.
I'm sorry about the RR policy. I think the church lost focus here. Do we really think the early church made these policies? When they met in people's homes?
Sadly your example is not uncommon. You reached a point before you said, "I got the message, I'm not welcome here." The church should be welcoming, unconditional love.
