I have sczhiophrenia and v2k x2 so I see and hear these things which makes me feel defeated. So what I’m trying to say is the v2k etc would make me see people hostile so if I switched over to another church fresh start wouldn’t it be better is the question. Or do I just attend groups only without the pastor. And this is not the entire church members maybe one lols.
I think I understand now friend.
Here's a post to another individual this morning that may also apply to your situation.....Here.
I should add that in spite of the number of churches in America, most aren't worth attending. Once you figure out that the shepherds of the flocks aren't even believers in Jesus Christ, they will do you no better than a psych hospital. You are looking to fellowship with believers, so your challenge will be to find some in your area after you make sure you're also saved. That link has the information, but ask if you have any questions after that. Have a blessed night.

First approach the person.
Matthew 18:15:
But if thy brother sin against thee, go, reprove him between thee and him alone. If he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
If that doesn't work with a witness.
Matthew 18:16:
But if he do not hear [thee], take with thee one or two besides, that every matter may stand upon the word of two witnesses or of three.
Finally publicly.
Matthew 18:17:
But if he will not listen to them, tell it to the assembly; and if also he will not listen to the assembly, let him be to thee as one of the nations and a tax-gatherer.
Additionally the elders.
1Tim 5:17 Let the elders who take the lead [among the saints] well be esteemed worthy of double honour, specially those labouring in word and teaching;
1Tim 5:18 for the scripture says, Thou shalt not muzzle an ox that treadeth out corn, and, The workman [is] worthy of his hire.
1Tim 5:19 Against an elder receive not an accusation unless where there are two or three witnesses.
For a public sin.
1Tim 5:20 Those that sin convict before all, that the rest also may have fear.
