Problems With a Pastor at My Church?

Question by Just wonderin’: Problems with a Pastor at my church?
I’m having a lot of problems with the pastor at my church. I go to a southern baptist church in a really small town where everyone knows your business if even a little bit of it gets out. but anyway, I was going through a lot when I was 17 (I’m 19 now) and was abusing drugs and getting in trouble, which I guess would give any pastor the right to want to talk about it and step in..A LITTLE. He went above and beyond what i feel like was necessary and when i was in my car one day leaving church he came up to me and took my prescription meds and marijuana out of my car and just left and said it was for my own good. Since it’s a small town he went through people i know and asked them about my past (I had a difficult past growin up with abusive parents and had just gotten out of the situation when i started going to that church) and he would put my life in his sermons! And then he got creepily obsessive. I got in a car accident and broke my legs. When i was in the hospital the doctor was explaining that I needed to stay with someone who would be home a lot and could help me like, change, get to the bathroom, who could help me get around, that kind of stuff since i had both my legs in casts and he jumped on it and said, “Me and my wife can help!” you’re kidding right? He wanted me to live with him for 2 months and i hardly knew him and i would need help CHANGING. (I did NOT stay there) And since then he began texting me. 24/7 texting me. I swear the man never slept. I would wake up with like 10 text messages all through the night wanting to know why i wasn’t replying and if he said something wrong, and he would make really messed up comments about how rude it is to not reply and then alllll day he would text me, one text after the other. I’m not kidding there wasn’t a moment he wasn’t texting me. Even when i was in school he would and would get mad that i didn’t reply to his messages. One night he text me and said, “I think it’s time i told you this, but you are a beautiful girl, and don’t let anyone tell you different” and i didn’t reply and he called 14 times and sent 20 messages….. and he became completely obsessed with me and only me. no one else in the church was going through this. And when he got mad HE GOT MAD. He got mad at me one time for some comment I made and he called the school saying that there was a rumor going around that I was smoking weed before school (at this time I had been clean for months) and I had a cop, who was like a mentor to me, who came and got me out of class and took me to get a drug test. that was humiliating 🙁 and when i graduated form high school and started college he started giving me $ 200 a month for school. and I told him over and over, i don’t want his money and he would start yelling at me and calling me ungrateful and kept yelling until i finally took it. And then he got really stalkerish. one night at like 2 in the morning i was talking to a police officer who was clocking people on the side of the road, he’s another really good police friend of mine (like i said, its a small town lol) and he gave me a ride to the sheriff’s office. the pastor text me the next morning asking me what i was doing last night, trying to catch me in a lie without having to tell me he saw me with a police officer and he finally jumped on my case about it and accused me of lying when i told him what happen. And there’s this lady who is like a mom to me, and i stay with her every now and then and her husband is an officer too, so he called her asking what kind of trouble i was in because i “must be in some kind of trouble if i’m ending up at a cops house at 11 at night… the weird thing was it was 11 at night, the pastor doesn’t live near them, and unless he was there watching, there’s no way he should have known i was there. And in that conversation he had with her he told her everything about the drug problem i used to have and the abuse i went through as a kid. she didnt even ask! and he lied to me about saying anything to her when i freaked out on him about it. I’m a growing Christian, and completely recovered from my drug problems…and i would make christian remarks on facebook like bible verses as statuses and stuff like that and evertime i did, he would make a status bashing me about it like one time after i set one his was like, “thinks people who don’t know the bible or much less live by it should be quoting it on facebook” and no one realized who he was referring to. everyone at the church thinks he’s like God. And I have learning disorders and i lost a really close friend at finals in a car accident and failed all my finals, failing the courses, and the pastor demanded the money back that he was forcing me to take from him in the first place. It was $ 1000. and when i told the deacon, he told him that he never said that. and he lied to the deacons about everyt
everything. yet he’s always bashing the deacons saying they aren’t good enough. and that this is the worse church he’s been to. and when people go to him for guidance he tells other people in the congregation about what the person went to him about. he talks horribly about people, he doesn’t visit shut ins or people in the hospital. theres a guy in the hospital that is addicted to painkillers and the pastor said, “i can’t go see him with my foot being broken, there’s no hope for him anyway” and another pastor from a different church had to go see the poor guy in the hospital and the pastor saw our pastor at the hospital visiting someone else! I don’t know what to do about him. i have left the church but i still live right by the church and his house and i tried to tell someone at the church about them and they thought it was funnyy…honestly they laughed and said he’s just trying to help. i can’t get away from him and he wont leave me alon
good grief people i was trying to finish it in the additional details before it cute me off…. thanks for the help i guess.
cut* not cute* and thank you for the sincere answers 🙂
i know this question is long, i get it. All I’m asking for is help. This is really taking a toll on my life, and it’d be great to get nice helpful answers instead of a comment on how long the question is. Sorry i’m not great at writing.
