1. Not blind
2. One who receives state assistance or preferential treatment ostensibly for poor eyesight or impaired vision
3. A panhandler who sports the accoutrements of the sightless: a seeing eye dog, dark tinted eyeglasses, a cane , a tin cup, and a hand-lettered sign soliciting donations from the public, but whose eyesight within normal range. A beggar who feigns blindness.

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.
