I need advice on what I should tell my parents... Anything to help me!?
Three years ago my family and I started attending the baptist church we are at now and at first it was all going okay. We had Sunday school every Sunday and the pastor's messages were understandable. My whole family were strong in their faith too and we were happy. Then two year's ago I had to move into the older kids Sunday school and it all went down hill from there. Our teacher's didn't want to teach us because none of them felt led to do so, and now every Sunday we don't have lesson's anymore. Instead I just sit there and watch everyone go on their i-pods and phones. To make it even worse, the pastor has started to say things that really make me mad at him. One thing he say's is that all gay people will burn in hell, which I totally disagree with. Some of the things he say's are just so un-biblical and when I tell my parents they say that I maybe just misinterpreted (which they wouldn't know because their in the nursery every other Sunday!). I just want my parents to see how much this church is starting to tare me apart I guess. I have no friends at this church, and I have not learned anything about God since I've joined. I ended up going to another church's youth group on Wednesday's because I was beginning to miss God in my life. But the main thing that really concerns me is that my older brother (17) once use to be so happy about God and Church, and now he has completely turned from God and say's that he doesn't know what to believe. Mom say's that this is all because he's a teenager, but I'm a teenager too and I don't have these feelings. I just want my family to go back to the way it was before we started attending this church. Every time I tell my parents how I feel about the church though my mom tell's me that it's my fathers decision on if we visit another church, and when I mention it to my father he tells me to drop the matter. It's getting so bad that the only person I can talk to about it know is my best friend from my youth group and school. How can I tell my parents how I feel if they don't want to listen to me? How can I help them see how much this family is falling apart from this church? I need advice! Reassurance! Anything! I just feel so hurt and lonely right now, and I feel like God and my best friend are the only ones who care...
