Concerning this thread.... itching ears...
I think pew control in most churches is usually if done, allowed the man who pastors...
I think is some more questions to be asked tho...
1. Did the Man pioneer the Work?
2. Or was he voted in after a myriad of Pastors?
3. Were the Money people won to the Lord or were they there when He arrived?
4. If not won or there when He arrived where did the Money Folks come from? Another Assembly because they liked his preaching better or the music possibly?
5. Was he an ethical man and he or his wife not handing out invitations to everybody?
It's easy to talk about itchy ears and people who demand things... but there are so many of these questions that need answered before one can postulatet the situation...
As far as Pew Control... I've really seen very little in my lifetime to...
It's talked about.. but I haven't seen it much.. Most use it claim more authority than they already have... or to build themselves up in the Peoples Eyes.. Phrases Like.."BLess GOD.. THE PEW WILL NEVER TELL me how to Pastor" or something like that...
Out and Out rebellion God deals with.. but so many of these Guys are looking for greener pastures folks don't have enough time to get to know them anyways..
Unless they are a Son-in-Law....or Son... then most flocks.. don't really have a choice...
imo...
