In reference to the Acorn Ridge story: In 2004, the same thing happened to my family at Acorn Ridge. We have told no one, but I believe the time is right for the whole story to be told.

Forgive me Lord, But my Brothers and I would be digging a grave on that lot.I kept my mouth shut till now. But a hole or several holes would be dug, or someone would have to pry the shovel from my cold dead Hands.

@stanglvr -

I live in robbins and let me set some of the facts straight. I know this church and the pastor well. It's his way or none at all. This is not the first family that had arrangements for family burial that when the time came they were turned away with an unkind message. Also there have been others buried there in the past few years that were not members. Its about who you know. This is not the christian way to turn your back on people in there time of need. Now those are the real facts.

I just looked on the map of Acorn Ridge. It looks as though the church cemetery has lots of room for expansion. The road goes to an empty field with NO headstones. To be sure the church could have allowed her a spot on this EMPTY ground!

as a Pastor's wife..let me clarify something for you all. Just because he is the minister does not mean he runs the church..church is run like a business...the boards make policy and enforce it..I am not saying what they did is right. but to bash the minister is WRONG...that is like blaming your coworker for YOU not getting a raise..he does not have the AUTHORITY to make it happen...

This is the MOST shameful thing I have ever heard of and I hope the members of this "church" are really proud of themselves. Money grubbing hypocrites is what they have shown themselves to be. Honor, respectability, and doing what is right better not show up in any future sermons, as this church has no business speaking of things they themselves do not practice.

If the "church" and I use that word lightly--has a side perhaps they could type up their side it put it on the "church" web site. They say nothing because their excuse has no merit. I feel sorry for the "minister" his love of money is greater than his love of God and his word.

dennis23-- The "minister" is the one who stands up and preaches and gets paid. He is morally obligated to stand up and express his concerns whenever the church is in the "wrong". The minister should not look the other way and dismiss his role in the church. When he does nothing he becomes part of the problem. Does it make a difference whether they purchased a plot-reserved a plot or whatever. She has family there. Do the right thing and not the legal thing. There is no church there--just a building where people go.
