And this is "holiness?"
Your question of "why?" - For myself, I feel now that I was deceived into joining an organization and giving the most productive years of my life to advance the ministries of men who wanted to simply use my youth and enthusiasm for their own cynical ends. I sacrificed and went years without a salary and preached for burned out ministers who were too lazy to crack a Bible but who were always "holier" than I.
I poured out myself to build a church and rally people around the gospel only to see those same people treated like the same kinds of "excrement" that my fellow ministers were treated like. "Why?" Lamentations 1:12-22

And there it is...
Bitterness...Disappointment...and Desperation...
Just causes more than likely... but to what end?
I decided a long time ago I would look past man...because man will always disappoint you... but God never will...
It is difficult but to get ahead it musts be done...whatever situation you are in...
