Thank you Bro Eastman, I appreciate the kind words & am heartened by the fact that not everone is beleiving this is a good thing in airing dirty laundry before the whole World.
I am dismayed at the very fact that no one can see the mess that is being perpetuated here & that this is not going to end well--no matter what the facts are.
Even the very rules of propriety should at least say, this isn't the forum (no pun intended) for airing differences between saints & ministers & that there will come a price to pay for what each of us have done.

I have said peace & beleive it to be true.
I know I have heard from God.

I am begining to suspect a "hidden agenda" where people do not like the looks of things and so they are going to blast wherever they can well, because I can.
Not considering if that is Biblical or not & that God himself commisioned you or anyone else for that matter--chief fixer of the Ministerial constiuence out there.

Has anyone considered the Ministers that have in reality strayed or may not have strayed that just because they are not hanging from your local tree in a lynching that perhaps, God is extending his mercy?

Ah face it, lynches & bonfires are much more exciting aren't they?
Especially when one can participate.
And I am going to tell you again that you must be correct in that you are in a different church. Not all areas are good and kind and sweet. Perhaps it's blasted all over the internet because the system hasn't worked? It keeps happening over and over again because churches and ministers do not heed the mistakes of the past?

Your accusations go nowhere with me.

I don't see anybody here trying to fix any 'ministerial constituence'. But I will say this, some of the ministers might get more respect if they acknowledge that not all in their ranks are more upstanding than the ones you consider to be 'little people'.

Ya gotta love (actually hate) the hypocrisy when some ministers practically destroy a saint's reputation, but is expecting all of forgiveness and forget when one of their own or their family commits the same sin they nearly destroyed somebody else's reputation over.

And to liken the discussion here to people "lynching" another from a tree is stretching it quite a bit eh preacher man? In fact, you are way out of bounds with that statement.

Actually, I thought it was quite apropo & hit the nail on the head perfectly.
BTW, here I am just Bro Ron no higher or lower than you.

Fellas, it's not gossip to report the news. To dwell on it is unproductive, but to pretend it didn't happen aint right either.

WARNING: Pastors need to keep their noses clean...cuz if'n they dont, everybody's gonna know.
Some of them don't want everybody to know, but they sure can blather all their mind to other pastors, who then talk to people in the church, who then spread it all over and ruin reputations about another saint.

They have the right to do that don't they?

Maybe you think it is appropriate because you have done some lynching yourself?

If I have could you please point it out to me? I don't want that on my conscience.
Serious question, no smileys.

You sound bitter & yes, I am in another Church because I don't see that.

Re: Dropped By & Somewhat Dismayed But Not Surpris

Do you accuse everybody who does not agree with you to be bitter?

Are you excusing the preachers who do this sort of thing?

Do you actually think this is a good thing to do to another human being by a 'man of God'?

Just because you don't see it, does not mean it doesn't happen among your ranks.

Maybe you just have your eyes closed and ears plugged.

Look, I have no inclination to go around the block in an online fight with you.
It appears (my viewpoint & could be wrong) that in your postings that you have beeen wronged in the past & that (may) be reflected in the way you (may appear to me) post on this matter.
I apologise for the bitterness remark.

Wow you guys are still going at. I am watching my wife doing praise and worship, letting her voice ring out to the most high.
