Threats generally work. They may be depending on that but if not all will die down I am sure. If this is a large church been in the org for years I doubt any heads gonna roll.
The church has been liberal leaning for a while. This will push them out.
I will be shocked if they do not vote to leave. Lots of money is gonna leave with them.
This one was enough to bring me out of two weeks of full lurker mode.
What in the world is going on down there? It seems the DS is threatening to remove a pastor who openly admitting having a tv on his website. The DS is supposedly bringing an entourage to remove this man within a couple of weeks. He can do this because the church is affiliated.
In the meantime, the church board has voted to disaffiliate immediately. Now the full body is going to vote on it.
Couple of thoughts here.
1. It was silly for the man to go against the bylaws he agreed to follow.
2. It was silly for him to admit it on the web.
3. I can not believe they are going to prosecute, considering the current political climate.
4. The org is about to lose another church, and lots of money, over tv.
The whole thing is crazy. All over a little box that will soon be called a computer.
All this over a T.V, what about the internet, it's a lot worst, alot evil right at your finger tips. They should be more worried about the pastors who are fooling around, and other such behavior~
