Carp, this is a new Forum and will take some getting used to as far as posters and their style.
I believe the man's comments were sarcastic. In other words, some folks think that only preachers committ spiritual abuse. hence, if we get rid of the preachers then by de facto spiritual abuse would disappear. He was saying it just ain't gonna happen. If I misse di there he can feel free to correct me.
Now, if a couple of other posters had made the same statment your repsonse would have been dead on. Why not copy and paste it somewhere as we will no doubt need it in the future.
I have known cases where it was not the pastor, but other members of the congregation who were being spiritually abusive towards both their pastor and others. Because of their influence no one dared deal with them.
