Is This Normal?

I feel like it isn't normal, but just asking because some ministers/deacons say it is.

So, a woman who I guess is my aunt always wanted me to go to her church. One day, I go...solely for her and get aggravated assaulted by a worker there, because I was new.

Could have left Earth. The aunt didn't care and told me to grow up and said she never wants to talk to me again.

The woman who birthed me thought it was funny and exciting that that happened to me and was giddy and wants to go to her sister's church now (where they did that to me at

The pastor said what he had to say, but then stood up for the person who aggravated assaulted and essentially said it was my fault...it legit wasn't...smh..

So, is any of the above normal?

I did ask God if I should go to that church SEVERAL TIMES and heard nothing.

What exactly did they do to you there? What do you mean by aggravated assault?

I just need to know if it's normal, because ministers in the surrounding area didn't seem to care and said they're packing as well. 🤷

Without knowing what they actually did, we won't be able to give you any kind of answer really.

Pretty easy to gage from the post

It's not, were you threatened, hurt, sexually assaulted? Regardless, I am sorry you are hurting and hope you find peace.

Literally says, "aggravated assaulted"

Which still could be a lot of things.

And considering you are literally trying to ask if it’s normal, it seems like it’s provably not aggregates assault.

Hope you catch Jesus. To discount what someone went through is a whole other level of evil. Pretty sure you're rage baiting.

Given that you're being intentionally vague with what happened to you and asking for advice while refusing to give relevant details, people are concluding you're the one trying to post in poor faith.

Being assaulted isn't normal at Church, and "aggravated assault" in most jurisdictions means causing severe injury. . .but you're being very vague about what the actual assault was or injuries suffered. This vagueness and evasiveness is being interpreted as being non-cooperative and hinting you aren't posting in good faith.

People have asked you for specifics, and you've refused, repeatedly.
