'The church' didn't notice when my FIL no longer went to church due to dementia.  [/quote]

Perhaps they assumed his obviously devoted DIL was caring for him?[/quote]

Nope, we were in a different country.  
Anything else?  
You have a very sarcastic personality, I suspect your friends find you hard to get along with at times (?)[/quote]

His child was swaning about in another country but you wanted the church to care for him?    Wow, just wow! [/quote]

No, his child was living in another country. "The church" did not notice him missing. What is wrong with you?
No one asked the church to care for him, how ridiculous. "His child" moved back.
You are a very silly person.

PP is immature. [/quote]

There were multiple PPs. But this is a good time to discuss expectations. If someone is asked why they are skipping church, DCUM says “FFS, ignore the sanctimonious busybodies. Attend church or not. No one has the right to wonder why you aren’t there on any given Sunday.” But DCUM also says if someone doesn’t show up and there’s a bad outcome, the church has failed that person.

Which one is it? Should we mind our own business or be our brother’s keeper?[/quote]
