Mega Pastor Sued for Defaming Member From Pulpit

[RandyWayne]

This reminds me of the defamation lawsuit involving a couple of women who were proclaimed lesbians over the pulpit. I believe in Tulsa....

The women(an) won that one as well.

There is a miconception that a preacher can say anything from the pulpit and it not be questioned. If a preacher is annointed things like this wouldnt be said. It reminds me of a popular preacher that would call out members of the cocngregation and tell the what was wrong with them. He called out a preachers wife and told her her gahl bladder was all black and she told him it should be b/c the doctor removed it years ago!

When churches become more like businesses than churches then business... is business.

Agreed!

Uh ... this guy isn't an "ole time pentecostal" preacher, is he?

You're safe.

Let's see now:

Character attacks and defamation in a public place and before a whole crowd of people

and

misuse or misappropriation of funds,

why would anyone want to seek legal recourse for picayune things like that?

Isn't that often just "business as usual" in politics and religion?

Thank goodness at least two pastors aren't bashing each other.

Does anyone know the outcome of this lawsuit?
