I know, that's extreme.  It boils down to nothing more than a power struggle and family relations.
I'm curious, what did your human behavior reader say about my reaction? |
I expected you to be more defensive than you were. An obvious expectation since you sided with the pastor.
I know what you mean about seemingly minor changes seeming to freak Pentecostals out. I have quite a few friends and relatives who are pastors with horror stories. Not long after assuming the pastorate of a small church one preacher friend of mine was at the church on Saturday playing with the placement of the sound speakers to try and get rid of feedback that kept happening during service when one of the older ladies in the church came in. With a concerned look on her face she asked the pastor what he was doing she shook her head and with a doubtful tone in her voice said something like "well, I don't know. The last time somebody tried to do something like that it nearly split the church!". I would not believe this kind of C_ _p except I have heard it first hand from preachers I trust implictly. Just recently one told me of the hell they went through to just move the piano and organ around on their platform after it had been one way for 30 years under the previous pastor. Talk about swallowing a gnat......
