There is a hole in your logic ... in the name of sweeping generalizations and an inability to decipher humor.

Stay cool.

A pastor still doesn't have the right to take designated funds and do with them as he so pleases! ITS NOT HIS MONEY!

Unless the givers and/or those that worked the fundraisers approve of the change, those designated funds MUST be sent in according to organization guidelines, not according to the whim of some disgruntled pastor!

A pastor also doesn't have the right to strive for his/her own views to the disunity of the body.

How much "unity" will be brought by these actions?

And if perchance a pastor does go to the givers and explains what he would like to do with the funds and requests their approval, how much unity would be brought by a pastor going to his people with his gripes and complaints about the organization, its practices and the brethren within it???

You are right...Hazelwood doesn't. But the leadership that resides at Hazelwood (and elsewhere) DOES have spiritual authority.

That authority is understood when one applies for and accepts license with the organization. Submission is not forced, it is simply understood and expected. (And I'm not talking about the "blind", "no questions asked" kind either.)

Oops...theres that "S" word again...

The law of harvest says, saints will start sending their tithes directly to the source they feel it should go.

Just a thought.

Carry on.

I tried to post this earlier but got sidetracked.

I do not believe that 2 wrongs make a right. I was simply giving an answer to those who said the money was being withheld from needy programs.
