I no longer attend the church of my parent's because of the resentment I feel at being held to a higher standard because my dad is an Elder and the horror I experienced while he was preaching in that podunk town in TN. And it's not just the members who do it--my mom, who still resents the congregation in said podunk town because my dad would always drop whatever he was doing for anyone there, but not for our family because the church came first, continues to use the "you're an elder's daughter" reasoning for why I shouldn't do certain things. It's annoying and I don't care if I ever darken the doors of the church I grew up in again.
