Accountability is much needed in church. Thank you for this video! It needs to be heard.

When one has a problem in a church, all you can do is leave.

My church is full of cliques and plays favorites. I'm disabled and always left out of the woman functions.

It’s like that at this Young Adult Group. Just a weekly dating seminar. I only went for the word and they have a problem with that. I had to leave.

I was a leader in my church, we had to take first-year leadership to be in a leadership position. My church has clicks too. And I confronted the pastor about it. Because he said that he would shut down the clicks and gossip in the church. The pastor gossip about people when they leave the church to his leaders. And I was told since I did not submit to the deaconesses and the other sister in the church as in leadership submit to their authority. That I'm in rebellion. And I even told my pastor that I was leaving and wanted to do it the right way. And he told me he was God's will for me to stay there. And I kept getting shut down watching these kids be disrespectful to me and watching other kids that don't know any better be disrespectful tear up the church. And then I'm expected to help clean up after these kids. I left the church and I was told that I was going to be handed over to Satan to be buffeted. Because I'm in rebellion supposedly.

We have to fight against our own sinful nature, to self promote. It's not always easy. But we can look to Jesus who set the best example of humility for us.

One of the church members, a female of course, as she walked into the church, she did not greet us. Instead, she said, “There is not a presence of God amongst us.” So, she went downstairs until the pastor showed up. That’s really messed up!

I recently left a reasonably good church that had a lot of toxic groups within it, not wanting to follow decent leadership from the pastors and biblical understanding. The church is extremely popular so the leadership has a hard time keeping track of who's doing the right thing by everybody and themselves.

Me and my wife are in an awkward situation. I was brought back from a life of backsliding by a good friend that's now a leader of the church we're going to. (before I was married). Now I feel that there's a feeling of finger pointing if we didn't attend church when we didn't feel like going. We're aware that our spiritual lives needs food as well from other believers but we're uncomfortable about the fact that the church sermons they preach very often involves comparing themselves to other churches when other churches make bad doctrinal practices. I feel that this whole situation is so tricky yet a blessing to navigate because it got me and my wife to really try to know God more and hopefully reveal truths for what steps we need to take instead of just staying on because of owing the church my growth in faith.

Leadership at First Assembly of God in San Antonio are good at spinning stories. Even when there is evidence that leadership has done wrong, the story is spun to make the other person the complete guilty party. #firstassemblysanantonio #firstagsa

I found the church in general the Apostolic church in particular. To be extremely rigid, religious, unloving and unwelcoming! All of which created an extremely toxic environment! Resulting in many leaving the reformation!

So, they're phonies. We had a preacher when i was a kid who used to say "would you like to go to church with a few of them, or to Hell with ALL of them?" He had a point.

Leaders should have a great fear of God and that they might fall. They need to have a team of people around them whom they know will tell them the truth.
