I said "first hand" experience intentionally, and the reason is because the content that you're reading is going to be biased towards the people writing it. Just like anyone who is recollecting a bad situation and outcome, they are going to leave things out, misrepresent what was said, and sometimes straight up lie to take any blame off of themselves. They're not LARPing so much as they're extremely biased about what happened. I grew up in a Christian school, attending multiple churches, and I have NEVER once seen someone turned away in the way that you describe. Does that mean it doesn't happen? No, there are shitty people everywhere. But these places are known for bending over backwards to help vulnerable people, at least that has been my first hand experience.
