He was speaking of Muslim clerics preaching in their mosques in Saudi Arabia, right?

I will add, however, that in my personal experience I have only seen one church where this was commonly practiced... an independent church in Duncan, OK back in the 70s. Based on all the reports, these guys must exist but I have personally only encountered one.
Pastor Poster:
I completely agree. The writer said it even better than I could!!!
Thanks for posting it. Although you may have stirred up some "spirits".
Get ready for the flak to fly.
Agree. It's a well written and accurate account of how those who are obsessed with preaching standards are percieved by the rest of us. May the Lord bless the reader.
Thankfully I don't know any of these ultra right wing conservative holy steam rollers personally... so I can neither confirm nor deny these allegations of hypocrisy

I think the letter writer's indignation was probably agitated by just the things he describes. I've seen these same things, though I don't think I've ever seen a gun and knife collection that was "sinful." People importing the banned ivory and hides run a terrible risk if caught. The fines alone will cause most folks to have to down size the "palatial home."
My only complaint is about the divisive stuff that the letter writer mentions. The "holier than your kids" youth camps and Bible quizzing. That kind of stuff is just plain wrong. How sad it is when the "grown ups" never grow up.
The letter writer's complaints are real enough. But getting frustrated and writing a letter probably won't change anything.
