When a person is too old to go trick or treating, (usually at age 16) but can't resist the allure of free candy, they take a small child trick or treating so they themselves can go.
My parent told me I was too old to go trick or treating, so I used my friend's little sister as a scapegoat and went and Co-op trick or treating!
church hurt is where you experience a degree of distance, pain, or judgement from your church community. Essentially, you are just unable to “find your place”. This is prevalent in the Christian community, but can be extended to other religions.
Now that I am an adult I am beginning to heal from the church hurt that was inflicted on me as a child.
