There is good and bad in all things, we have the positive and the negative, we have to accept though that what is positive to one isnt always the same to another and vice versa.

We have to find a balance but I doubt whether everyone in life will tbh. What I find hypocritical re spiritual matters whether it be one church or another, is the fact that some preach something but they do not uphold that teaching within their own lives.

My son-in-laws sister and her family, were great within their church, they were respected and took great satisfaction in their positions as helpers and yet, her husband beat her. She died at the age of 34 through his illtreatment. He still went on in church in his capacity as a verger (I think that is the correct title), why didnt others know, why wasnt the poor lass helped? What right did they have to say to another "thou shalt not.....". Two of their children are a mess and sadly one is passing it on to her child.

Such a lot to consider if one wants to be respected as a helper of the spiritual life. On the other hand we have those who uplift and help those in trouble. We can never judge tbh.
