Why is it that I always feel so depressed after sunday morning church? I thought I should feel better, but I just feel guilty and judged and thus depressed the rest of the day.

What did you do to make you feel bad

That sounds depressing. I would expect the following are factors: # Your religious leader. # The way the service is conducted. # Your community. # Your religious beliefs. # Something which is not directly linked to Church. Not that this helps, but I am certain that the problem lies in the list above.

Easy... go to a church that doesn't judge. Go to a church that brings to mind Jesus' attitude when he was asked to judge the woman caught in adultery. Even within the same denomination there could be wide varieties, but IMHO some denominations are extremely judgmental and others are exactly the opposite. Shop around.

Either you have done something to make yourself feel guilty or you need to find a different church. I can understand the guilty part (most people do stuff that may make them feel a little guilty) but you should not feel like you are being judged. Earthly judgements belong in the courtrooms.

Grow stronger in the Lord. He will make you free.

Sounds as if you're worshiping in the wrong place. Do some church shopping.
