1 /5 Lazaro Plattnick: I will start with the fact that pastor Adam is great. He met me in the prayer room as I was new to religion and made me feel Welcomed.
He invited me back and said that I can come into the prayer room anytime they were open AS LONG AS I was let in and given permission.
Couple months later I walk in because I was going through a mental melt down and headed straight to the Church. Walked in the same door after getting buzzed in. I asked the Lady at the desk if I may use the prayer room. She said go ahead and smiled.
20 minutes later a Paster that I didnt grab a name for but was an older gentleman walked in and asked if he could help me with something. I said no but thank you so much". To which he replied with "We dont just let anybody come in here and be on the couch" and then asked me to leave. Mind you I was holding the Bible to my chest and crying.
By the look on his face and demeaning tone. He clearly wanted me out. I then said to him that I was invited back anytime by Pastor Adam and that I was given permission by the lady at the desk to come in. At that point he started apologizing but the damage was already done. I said its ok Ill leave and he tried to walk after me mend the uncomfortable encounter that he created. I left and told him thank you so much. I WOULD NOT recommend this place at all. How could you be so unkind to some in such a fragile state.
I could have accepted his apology but I was so overwhelmed by the situation that I just wanted to leave. Besides why would someone want to stay at a place of worship after being kicked out and receiving a half apology ONLY because I said Adams name. Had I NOT how would the conversation have gone?
Sometimes its not what you say but how you say it. Especially coming from a pastor and you being in such an emotional state.
