1. Should you expect people to have negative reactions? Yes.
2. Does that make them bad people? No--not necessarily.
3. Is it fair for people to be rude or hostile because you've changed churches or changed your personal belief system? No.
4. Do you have an obligation to keep your own attitude right regardless? Yes.

Speak for yourself. We've had rain for days, and it's supposed to continue through Sunday. I'd much rather be outside pulling weeds or planting more flowers!!!!

I have reached the place in my life where this "Separation" mantra nearly sends me over the edge.

Separation from WHAT???? WOMEN must look like the 1940s, and that's about the sum total of this much touted SEPARATION.

Separation from the world, huh?

We buy their gadgets. The day the IPad came out, there were numerous Apostolic preachers posting on Facebook rejoicing that they GOT ONE.

Every new phone that comes out, we have to have it. New cars. New computers. Fastest internet connections. Nice houses.

We shop were the world shops.

We vacation where the world vacations. Disney World, Bransom, Gatlinburg, New York and Paris.

We spend like the world spends.

I'm SO TIRED of hearing about a Separation that is NOT A SEPARATION!!!!!!

Since I don't know exactly what is causing their attitudes (because you won't post the reasoning).
From the outside i'm assuming whatever church you visited obviously doesn't preach the message as strong as the one your leaving.
So in their minds if your going to accept something that is taught as being "wrong" in your current church, you are backslidden & compromising. Henceforth they are probably following the line of thinking that stems from
2Tim 3:5 "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away"

Thats the only explanation I have if they are being "mean".

But I concur with Ferd, if you have been there for years and heard what they teach & preach... I have a hard time believing your "shocked" at their reaction and playing the victim.


side note, Bro Apostle Paul would probably laugh his head off if he read your original post. Talk to him about being mistreated.... He would make all of us become humble very fast!
