Tough read. Ugly as they used to say in the old South. Be very careful in these situations. Protect yourself from the backlash. I had to dig my mother out of a Baptist church one time. She was a widow of 15+ years and always had my brother in tow (non-verbal Down’s). The smartest thing I did in my rage is have a meeting with the local police chief before confronting the pastor. “Chief how should I handle this”? The pastor claimed he couldn’t let her walk because her soul was his responsibility. He learned otherwise. I told him I was trying to keep my larger brother from ripping his lips off. The elders one by one got an ear full too. There’s more to the story. Did you know my brother with Down’s was ineligible for heaven because idiots are incapable of making an adult decision for Christ?
