why i stopped going to church
they seem more concerned with:
programs than people
numbers than spiritual growth
rules than principles
doctrine than theology
i went to church and i felt like people were more concerned with the worship set, and having a good sermon, and with putting on a good show than in going out and helping people. Other than a head count they didn't seem concerned whether i or any other individuals showed up or not. No one seemed to care whether people were sick, or unhappy, or not doing well.
maybe i'm a hypocrite cause the only thing i've done for others is to get a sponsor child.
But I didn't feel like by going to church I could change anything for the better.
I felt like a nameless face in a crowd of lost souls.

Its all to true. I stopped going to church for many of those reasons. I just recenlty started going back because I "missed" it: I ask myslef evrtime I go to the church now "what do/did I miss?", I still haven't figured that out. I sure didn't miss any of the things you mentioned, even more. Church is messed.
