Mononarcissosis maybe?

Re: How close should a pastor get to the members?
Wow! See what I miss from playing "pastor" during the holy days! I see Renda has been stirring things up again! Renda, can't take you no where! 
Y'all play nice!
Did we get this question answered yet?

I expect it'll be in Latin and have a lot of syllables.
Speaking of Latin: I went into the local Bible bookstore yesterday and told the lady there that I wanted a Bible, and not one of those new modern versions, I wanted a real Bible, a copy of the Latin Vulgate. She looked a little surprised, but not as surprised as you might think, I've been to her store in the past.

I find it interesting that you profess to speak with a southern accent. Your posts are so well written that you could pass for a Canadian.  |
LOL - - - you just haven't caught some of my boo-boo's. I also have the advantage of being able to edit my posts forever. When I read something later I'll notice I've left out a word or two, so I just add them in - lol!
I assure you that I'm not Canadian - - however, I did visit Whistler once.

This reminds me of a man who was feeling very lethargic, never wanted to do anything around the house, every time his wife asked him to do something he complained of not feeling well, and finally his wife insisted he see a doctor about his "condition".
Well, he did, and after numerous tests, the doctor came in and said, "Well, we've found out what's wrong with you - you are LAZY!"
The man replied to the doctor, "Ok.........but, can you give it to me in medical terms so I'll know what to tell my wife???"

I remember a statement a fellow made way back on FCF regarding the difference between American and Canadian preachers.
You might recall it too.

Here's the problem with getting close to Pastors: You share your secrets with them, and they post it on an open forum for everyone to see.
And my wife wasn't fooled at all. Who knew that she spoke medicalese?
