I know this was quite a while ago now, but I just want to encourage you to keep standing for what you believe is right. It's not exactly the same thing, but in my head is fairly similar where in 2 Chronicles 36:16 it says 'But the people mocked these messengers of God and despised their words'
That's specifically talking about prophets, but I think the principle remains that if you are saying something from the heart of God and people don't want to accept it then they are going to despise you for challenging them. Noone likes to be told they're wrong...but remember offence isn't given, only taken!
