The final straw for me was when our church asked anyone visiting that day who was not a member of the church to refrain from taking communion. That seemed very counter-intuitive and I attempted to get up and leave but my parents would not let me.

Not all Pastors are the same, Our Priest once said to me about receiving communion, "We receive communion not because we deserve it but because we need it" Thats why we say as a community before communion, "Lord I am not worth to receive You, but only say the word and I shall be healed."
