Why Did You Stop Going To Church? by NiceLegs(op): 9:31am On Jul 06, 2025
This are my reasons.

1) I stopped going to church because I got bored and tired of the church services.

The sermons was no longer ministering to me. I go to church empty hoping to be filled but Instead I come back very empty.

I was no longer blessed after going to church.

There was no difference between me going to church and not going to church.

The services became long and tiring.



2) Also I stopped going to church immediately after COVID.
Why?
I realized that COVID happened. Everybody was at home for 3 months+. Nobody went to church yet God stilled heard and answered our prayers.

God protected us during those tough times even without us going to church.

I was waiting for men of God who show power and miracle to their members every Sunday to finally use the opportunity by rising up to perform miracles on infected COVID patients and heal COVID patients but no one did.

God used COVID-19 pandemic to make people realize that they do not need to run to a place to seek him, worship him and even get a Miracle from him.


3) Things became very hard for me while going to church. I graduated Uni, searched for a job, I couldn't get. I struggled financially so much while going to church. I struggled to get a job which I couldn't get. I started a small business. My little business struggled hard. It was as if my prayers will not been heard by God. It was tough. It's still tough. I prayed and prayed yet things didn't change. I just got discouraged.

To be honest, I just got tired and lost interest in going to church.

Why did you stop going to church?

Re: Why Did You Stop Going To Church? by MaxInDHouse(m): 5:26pm On Jul 19, 2025
I think the question should be the reverse:

"Why were you going to church?"

Perhaps your parents raised you a church person or someone along the line took you to the church or you just want to be in the gathering of people singing, praying and dancing.

If you don't know where you are going it will be difficult for you to proceed when the going gets tough so the first thing is the need to know what you are doing in the church that's when you can make good sense out for stopping! undecided

The COVID theatrics, opened the eyes of gullible folks and changed their perspective about man made religion.

Imagine blessing people on the altar with a nose mask
Re: Why Did You Stop Going To Church? by Aaronsrod: 6:11pm On Jul 19, 2025
I stopped going to church when human sacrifice was removed from the order of service.

How can blessings flow without fresh blood?

I worship at home with the remaining family.

It was God Himself that instructed me to leave the last the denomination I belonged to over 20 years ago because..

I believe He was separating for His work.
Re: Why Did You Stop Going To Church? by Dogalmighty17:
First of all, I LOVE BEER. Anything that gets in the way of beer, I avoid.
I'll also say church became a problem instead of a solution. An empty basket that never got filled up. Always making one demand or the other from members. Churches expect members that offer them services to offer these services for free. I know of one incident where the church was owing their designer/printer for over 5 years! Sometimes the man uses his own money to print flyers for the church when the church said they don't have money. But that wasn't the case. The church didn't just prioritise his service. That same church could order sound systems worth 25 million naira from Lagos in 2012 but to pay a member 400k for services rendered was a problem. Churches USE PEOPLE!

Also have you taken time to notice that Christian assemblies are loveless and are just members competing against each other? Nobody gossips like church members. If you 'fall' instead of them to rally around you, they ostracize you and keep you at arms length. The only person permitted to fall and be forgiven is the pastor.

Christians don't love. They only carry out acts of kindness that makes them feel good or show off. Everything and everyone is a prop.

The people in the church are worse than the people outside the church.

I didn't stop going to church and I I'll never stop going to church
Re: Why Did You Stop Going To Church? by PlayerMeji: 10:09am On Jul 20, 2025
I have noticed this pattern every Sunday... Someone must post this question... WHY DID YOU STOP GOING TO THE CHURCH.?

I don't see this one Fridays... No one asks WHY DID YOU STOP GOING TO JUMMAH/MOSQUE?

Or Muslims are not stopping to go to the mosques, it is only Christians that are stopping to go to the church..?
Re: Why Did You Stop Going To Church? by StPete: 10:10am On Jul 20, 2025
I stopped going to church because the priest was more concerned about raising revenues for the church than the actual welfare of the people.

I stopped going to church because those that donated often were seen as the true Christians as opposed to some of us that are conservative with funds.

I stopped going to church because it became a place of competition. Who wore the best clothes, who had the nicest cars.

I finally stopped going to church because I became very bored.

I truly believe in God and I always will. But church is not for me

Religion is a scam invented by men to control other men.
Re: Why Did You Stop Going To Church? by Offpoint1: 10:11am On Jul 20, 2025
Typing why and why I stopped... Seventeen characters.


I hate noise and public gathering.


Most importantly, I want to hear devil's side of the stories.
Re: Why Did You Stop Going To Church? by Hhh4444: 10:12am On Jul 20, 2025
If after COVID you are still going to church then you need your head examined. COVID came to awaken minds blinded by religion. I saw the world with a whole different lens after COVID. Churches are brainwashing centres where the gullible get defrauded of their hard earned monies. Remove tithes and offerings and you would see 99% churches fold up. It's a business centre. Interesting how the employees of this enterprise are paid nothing but promised handsome rewards in heaven. Wake up from your slumber oh ye religious folks.
Re: Why Did You Stop Going To Church? by Jughead29: 10:14am On Jul 20, 2025
I didn't stop going to church, but just one thing during Covid.

Posting account number for thithes and offering during lockdown by some churches.

This alone really makes me feels so bad.

If some of this churches were so concerned about thithes and offering, then they may be less concerned about members being blessed by God through their prayers

Re: Why Did You Stop Going To Church? by malaria(f): 10:16am On Jul 20, 2025
Poster your point no 2 is exactly the sane reason I stopped . Most men of God have stopped preaching salvation and righteousness rather they preach prosperity .
Re: Why Did You Stop Going To Church? by Klington: 10:16am On Jul 20, 2025

The lies
The hypocrisy
Political clergy
The theft by the clergy
The fantasy of heaven
The imagined pain of hell
The LIES.
