Went to a private Baptist school owned by our church. As a teenager, when my Step Father and Mother were having Marital trouble (He was physically beating her), my Step Father suggested counseling through the church. They did. My Mother was told to be a more submissive Wife. She was. Until her ribs were broken and she finally left. Fast forward to adulthood. I was looking to get closer to God. Returned to same church under different pastor. The son in law of previous pastor. I became ill due to an dental infection that became septic. I had no insurance, tried to tough it out. I ended up passing out face first on concrete, landing me in Critical Care Unit. While I was unconscious, I was put on emergency state insurance to cover hospitals bills. I'm not proud of this. I returned to church on Easter. Pastor preached on how we should not rely on government hand outs. Looked right at me from the pulpit. Come to find out, they are 501c3. Back then, and now. They are buying a 2nd church.
