Even though I'm not a believer, I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm glad you're happier now.
The church must have had some shady people then because there's no way they're low on funds. They just put in a huge new gym a few years ago and this past year they built an entirely new church to replace the old one. If you had a kid that went to the school (owned by the church), then if you didn't go to church X times a month, your kids tuition would jump up pretty high. That's what someone told me that goes there, at least.
