courtesy call 

A sugarcoated term used by telemarketers which really means sales call. One of the most deceitful and misleading phrases ever since there is nothing courteous about it.
Telemarketer: Hello, may I speak to Mr. Smith? Hello. This is a courtesy call from Talk America which is inviting you to switch to our service. You'll pay only 10 cents a minute and you get the first 100 minutes free.

Mr. Smith: No thank you.

Telemarketer: Well, sir you get blah blah blah.........

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)

church hurt 

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.
