[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 463709, member: 1233"] I am so very very sorry. This must be tearing you apart inside, and I wish I could fix it. Your dignity and grace while interacting with these people is amazing. I am proud of you for not losing your cool and blasting them. Refusing to allow a child to be at church? I am pretty darn sure that this isn't part of any religion I know. Not having someone who could help you is koi. Isn't there a nursery where someone doesn't go to the service but stays to watch the littlest kids? Our church actually has speakers so that those in the nursery, ESPECIALLY the kids, hear the service. Most of the women who run the nursery see that as a part of their worship. This is blatant discrimination. There are LAWS against ANYONE, even a church, discriminating against someone with a disability. Around here it would make the paper f anyone learned that a child wth problems was thrown out of God's house. Do not stop with your boss's boss. Who is the head of the church nationally? A letter needs to be sent to them, or you could call them. The fact that a child who has endured what your child has been through is now being told that he isn't "good enough" to go to church? That will get results - children like difficult child need faith or they can't even hope or pray to be able to change thngs for the better. No way will the higher-ups not realize exactly how much of an enormous error that those who told you not to bring made. Do they truly want to tell a child that God doesn't want him around, that he is such an awful human beng that he cannot even attend a service? What will that do in teh long run if this continues? If God thinks you are so awful and messed up that he won't have you in his home for services, then how can you sink any lower than that? Why try if you are that awful a person? No one deserves that. Especially not a child. [/QUOTE]
