Why would a Pastor do this to me ?
I am trying to understand this After 13 years of membership at my church, I developed degenerative disc disease. This condition made it difficult for me to sit or stand for prolonged periods. Because of this I would oftentimes have to leave services immediately after the preaching, therefore missing the altar call. I was secretary and C. F. O. of our church, my husband was a minister in good standing. Well one day Pastor called and said that he thought that I shouldn't continue attending. I suggested that I could maybe start coming after worship service, that way I could be there for the preaching and the altar call. All he said was he thought I shouldn't keep coming. I told no one at church about this conversation. I simply did what Pastor said. This has left my spirit broken.
To this day I do not know why I was asked to leave.
Peace, Sinatra

Re: Why would a Pastor do this to me ?
All I can say is WOW!!!!
That is a mighty big blow. It's not fair for him to ask to leave without giving you a reason.
Whatever you do, don't allow the confusion to turn to bitterness. I know that will be a major job, but that's the most important thing, keeping your spirit right and saved.
Are you now attending another church? If not, I'd try to find one as soon as possible.
I'll be praying for you.

Unfortunately, this happened quite a while back. The church that I attended is the only Apostolic church here. I try not to be bitter. I remind myself it isn't God that did this to me but a man. But it still hurts .

Must be a very popular thing, because either you had once posted this story on FCF, NFCF, or GNC , or I heard the same exact story before?
Please I mean you no offence but did you ever post this story before?
