Maybe the reason why they are just a little secretive when it comes to the process by not airing the service and by removing the service that the name was mentioned and announced…the selection process will weed out several candidates that already have a church.

Point made, if the candidates come try out and are turned down…their current church might just be a little upset….

Hopefully Pastor Blake informed his congregation beforehand that he is seeking the option of moving to Memphis……otherwise there might be some upset folks…who might just come on forums like this….Lordy Lordy…

I have seen so many lies posted. The best one is the one Triumphant 1 did his best to combat. You know, the hair cutting party thing?

Prominent members of this board chose to believe the lie and even continue to spread it, even though T1 had totally proved it was false.

I don't know how you could keep it a secret these days.

Whoever would say that would the new pastor in a heartbeat.
In this case I would add to that list that we will have checks and balances. Accountability systems to be put in place to insure money is not misused in any way.

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns

BTW.....FWIW......I do know for a fact that there is a pastor in the Corpus Christi area who is an applicant and may be one of the finalists.....there is no telling at this point who may be the new Pastor, we just need to pray that the Lord will lead and direct all concerned.

Absolutely. Before the internet and free long distance phone a pastor could try out for another church and as long as it was geographically quite a distance from his current church there was a good chance none of his church members would ever know.

Now with FB, forums, and free long distance it is pretty much impossible to keep things like that secret.

That ain't no tip EUD. Try pulling up an old thread and you will be asked why are you dredging up an old thread? Especially if it is controversial.
