    I've been thinking about this one for a while and I'm curious if I'm the only one that has ever experienced it.

    I've been a member of various churches and any time on there I'm always asked for help not directly but they'll say we need some people to help with this or that I'm the kind of person that helps when someone asks for it if I can do it just in general.

    So one instance I was helping some of the parishioners clean the outer area around the church picking up garbage and power washing sidewalks and cleaning windows and whatnot. The church kind of requests for this to get it done and people get together and do it and there's always someone who tries to make themselves the head of the service like a coordinator.

    Why is it the church is the only place for these people are the worst absolute people that you ever have to deal with. If you don't do something exactly the way they think you should instead of talking to you about it treating you like an adult they come and scold you like you're a five year old.

    The last time this happened to me and it wasn't the first time by any stretch that was power washing some of the driveway and one of these God warriors I don't know what else to call them comes up to me and berates me on how I'm doing it wrong and I just dropped the power washer right there and walked off. As I was walking to my vehicle this person switched immediately to the only thing I can consider is so concerned because of what just happened.
    "What's wrong where are you going what did I do?"

    Is this somebody needed to ask that question why is this something I experience every single time I volunteer to help out predominantly with church. Why do these organizations seem to attract the nastiest people?

    Am I alone in this?

    I have noticed that myself.......
    my theory is that Stanley Milgram Lucifer Satan uses dogmatic religious beliefs.......

    .. .much like alcoholism or drug addiction........

    ... as an opening to take over in the lives of a segment of the population who also tend to gravitate to churches??????

    It's been something I've noticed every single time I volunteer for some sort of service to the church.

    There's always somebody acting like you are their employee and they desperately want you to quit.

    This strikes me as ego more than anything else. In which case it always results in someone acting like a complete ass is me walking right up to their face and dropping whatever I was working on and saying do it yourself then.

    That's because of this I absolutely will never fall into her to do anything for any religious organization ever again.

    I don't know why anybody does. If they had to do it all of themselves they would be a lot nicer and a lot more grateful if people decided to help

    Former Satanist who is now a Christian Evangelist John Ramirez........
    hints that Theistic Satanists who meet with Satan in an out of the body state or astral projection are sent into churches to mess them up........

    and cause this effect as much as they can......

    but there is even more to the whole thing but yes..... EGO is the reason......

    I saw that growing up a lot. It's part of the reason I became an atheist.

    I didn't get it growing up but I wasn't really forced to be part of church and wasn't until I was a teenager my folks converted to Catholicism and before that we were essentially just unwashed heathens. Good day three kids that way too I know some Churches have youth ministries but I didn't think they did stuff like that. I was part of a secular youth group that did volunteer work and there was that contingent within it but it seemed much more rare.
