This is just too far way out. Several of us pastors were at a meeting once in an unnamed city in a unnamed state and went to Ruth's Chris there must have been 16 of us. A couple pastors were having an anniversary so they ordered the steak & lobster. We were all going dutch however the host pastor was called away at the end of the meal and when we got ready to go we enquire about our bills and the guy had paid for the whole bunch. But the majority sent him a card with enough money to cover our part. I just cannot imagine the gall and tackiness for someone to do this and stick the host pastor with the bill?
A Pastor From this forum visited another pastor recently and was shocked by the extravegance of This well known VISITING Minister !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After service they were taken out to eat.
When it came time to order the visiting minister ordered Lobster-
the waitress informed him that the only lobster they had was flown in from Australia and it would cost 400-500$
the visiting minister responded "thats fine!"
in the words of this Pastor's wife to me "can you believe ordering a 400-500$ lobster???"
IF this happened the visiting guy has ruined himself by the time this gets around NO one would have the guy. I do NOT know anyone this dumb and I have known my share of stupid people.

Brother Epley, it is my understanding that it was not the visiting preacher who ordered it, but the pastor who had him there.

Yes, me too. I think the most gracious of my guests when pastoring was the Wayne Goodine Trio. We were all set to take them to an expensive Italian Restaurant and Elisabeth Goodine asked for a peanut butter sandwich...

The Pastor could have blessed the evangelist with the $400.00...it would have been more impressive than eating a $400.00 Lobster...I would have thought if he ordered that then no matter what he paid me for preaching was too small!
Did anyone think to ask why the pastor took the visiting minister to a place with a $500 lobster?
