    Well...I attended a few Sundays and events there after being invited by a friend. Maybe a year later, I wrote the minister, Pastor Daniels, seeking counsel about another attendee (a man who I had to make a police report on). I felt the minister could help to bring peace (not neccessarily friendship) between us. I thought he would be the fairest witness to just be there while myself and the abusive man talked. Pastor Daniels emailed me back, quoted a scripture from Romans 13: 1-7, told me to talk to someone else about it, and Asked me if I would like counseling about the situation. I responded, yes, I would like that. He never responded. And it wasn't until a few weeks later-I realized that he suggested counseling thinking I would oppose it or be offended by it- and that Pastor Daniels never really meant to help the situation. He had taken sides with the man (one of his highest paying tithers), and pushed me aside when all I wanted was reconciliation. I was surprised. and now just disgusted. I feel he is just heading the church as a means of employment. I do not think he cares about people's situations, and relationships with God like other true ministers. I thought about this for months before posting this...This is not a hostile review, but an honest one.

    I was supposed to have a phone interview today and the caseworker never called. Then I called from 3:00-3:30 and never got an answer- I tried other numbers, and mailbox was full. I waited weeks for this. As I sit here with no food, this is very agonizing.
