Now that been around some twisted people in church. They go around insulting people and taking advantage of individuals.

I know I had a so-called friend who manipulated me into doing nursing home ministry work. She thought she could bully me into keeping it up.

Bear in mind she used to be the main volunteer coordinator her who does security for the church husband goes around bullying and insulting volunteers too.

As long been in the volunteer part going on ten years now.

They worship the pastors and always in their offices. Her husband talks to the pastor every chance he gets.

One of the security person left finally because got tired of the manipulation by those two.

They manipulate people to do things, if you were getting paid would QUIT!!!

I already now on our team have better and nicer leadership.

My team leader hates the lady and her husband because of how they treat us!!!

She even address the problem with the security person.

He finally backed off. I use to go on shopping trip with the volunteer coordinator.

Because with money way it is can’t afford to do it anymore.

Besides I have to eat, rent, bills can’t do it. She is pissed about it!!!

I don’t care what she thinks. Not a nice person to be around in the first place.

Besides my friend of 23 years understand me better and we use to go on road trips back in the day. Still keep in touch with her.

Anyway I have very few people I consider my friends in the church like 3 of them out of all of them. It’s the quality not the quantity!!!!

I got caught up in leadership trying to move away from them.

They were under the false impression that I think their my friends they are NOT!!!

Still have my small blended family and friends from 40 years high school and friends meet at the baptist church went to 23 years ago. Just they act like your friends to your face in church setting doesn’t make them real friends. If they are questionable they will hunt you down. They seek and destroy.

If you don’t use you gut feeling & radar bad things will happen!!!!

Use your spidey sense and critical thinking skills and common sense!!!!
