[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 463786"] My mom pointed out I could go at a different time 9 am instead of the 1 pm time. (Same doctrine, same building, different pastors) The pastors for the different times are so close I don't expect a different attitude. (I'm expecting my pastor to talk to the other pastor.) husband doesn't leave for work until 1 pm so he could go and help watch difficult child 1. Which time and building we go to is determined by where we live and going to a different one is discouraged. This is one of those things better to ask forgiveness than permission. And I'm sure they'll tell me I shouldn't. I might need to go to the man in charge of the pastors again. In January they switch times (trying to be fair) so we'll be right back with the yucky pastor in January. At least I'll have another adult to help (husband). Andy, now I know why you wrote such a great letter. You've been through worse. Marg, I think you are right. Eventually he will know. He was asking today why we weren't going. I got away with not answering because he was distracted by the game cube. This way I can blame us going to a different time because of husband's work. And I don't have to worry about the other two leaders targeting him further. I will keep it confidential. I know I could destroy this congregation with this and I don't want to. Besides creating a lot of heart ache to others it would be the undoing of my sanity. My ability to function is fragile right now and about the only thing holding it together is the doctrine of this church. I am still going to send the letter. My calling the man over him was probably an eye opener. He was appalled by what the preacher had told me. I'm thinking Mat. 18: 16 - 17 won't be necessary. Susie, you are right. There are adults there that could've helped me. Now, I don't think the preacher will let them. If they try difficult child 1 will again be asked to not attend. difficult child 1's behavior isn't so bad that other adults couldn't handle it. At church he acts good. Keista, the only bad thing about changing times is that in a way I feel that I have backed down from the fight. I hate that! There are two subjects I'm willing to fight for; my kids and my church. This touches on both. I think I will contact the international leader. I know this is so against church policy. thank-you, you guys are more family to me than anyone else. My church could use the forum as a template of how to get such diverse group of people to all feel included. [/QUOTE]
