  A prayer ministry with spiritual director Robyn included NO prayers but only paternalistic criticism and contemptuous condemnation of participant from the lower class
  
  I started to attend the weekly prayer meeting to pray for the church's agenda last Nov/Dec. Never asked anyone to pray for myself, argued with anyone, or criticized anything about Yorkminister.
  
  In Feb, Robyn (whom i had never talked to before and had spotted only once at a distance earlier) suddenly asked me to start another prayer ministry with her, citing she was touched by the Spirit when i prayed for the church. I told her i was not spiritual, etc., but she persisted.
  
  We prayed together once in Feb. I prayed for only 3 Bible passages and the Holy Spirit, nothing else. I told her afterwards I could be more authentic with God praying on my own, but did thank her. Never asked Robyn for advice or prayers about myself. In March, Robyn was a no show with no messages left for me. I continued to pray at the church's prayer meeting weekly as usual, but started to minimize contact with everyone and dared not pray aloud (like others did) anymore.
  
  In April, Robyn and I met for the second prayer meeting. I planned to pray with her for only 3 Bible passages and nothing else. But Robyn did NOT pray at all. Instead she kept on interrogating me. When she found out that I prayed--ON MY OWN at home, not asking her or Yorkminister--for a sign from God, she immediately went on a whipping spree to condemn me contemptuously with all sort of accusations.
  
  10 minutes into the prayer meeting, i decided to end it with the assertions that Robyn had no right to diagnose, judge, or condemn "(my) whole life" (her exact words) with all her accusations, and that I did not want to hear her own stories. (The pattern of the entire prayer meeting was I was very bad for being xxx or praying for yyy, and the root cause was zzz, and how i should be changed to be like Robyn, and her stories, where xxx was sins or negative attributes Robyn criticized me for. There was absolutely no prayer but only her condemnation of me and my bad prayers.) In response to my assertion, Robyn said she "did not (see) any point of what (I) said," and justified her continued condemnation of me with the argument that she would have appreciated it if I had criticized her like she was doing to me. (???!!!) So she ignored repeated requests for her to attend her next meeting, my objection of continuing the conversation, and my packing up to leave (with her blocking the exit), but she was determined to thoroughly condemn me at her prayer ministry.
  
  In total, i had talked to Robyn for much less than one hour my whole life (and much of that time was her own talking) before she started her whipping spree, condemning "(my) whole life" with all sorts of negative attributes and sins at her prayer ministry. I had never asked Robyn for prayers or advice. SHE initiated the private prayer meeting because she (not I) claimed to be touched by the Spirit when I prayed, and I clarified right away that I wasnt spiritual. All I did was just praying for the church for several months with no argument, complaints, or trouble. If I were a middle or upper class successful church goer without a strong accent or chronic illness, would Robyn have done the same to me? Did everyone else at Yorkminister submit the content of their PRIVATE prayers for Robyn to review for approval or condemnation? If not, why singled me out when i had never asked anyone at Yorkminister to pray for me?
  
  A prayer ministry with no prayers but only condemnation of how non spiritual you are, how your whole life is a failure and how you have brought this on yourself, and you how inappropriate your private prayers are.
