Thank you! However, there are those that would disagree.

Oh well.

And MOW loves full disclosure...that is HIS policy....he understands that the truth shall set him free...he is not afraid of confronting truth. He believes in open book policies which is why he came back to set the record straight and posted what he posted. MOW does not dance around and spin around...he is a straight-shooter...which is why admire MOW all the more! I HONOR MOW...I'd walk 1000 miles for him...for he shows to be a man of integrity!

Well, I heard a preacher once say, "There are going to be people that are not going to buy your preaching tape!"

Truth to that, huh?

I find nothing here that I disagree with.

I hope we find as a board the balance we have all tried for the last 6 months to achieve.

1000 miles? Wow...now THAT is admiration.

There was a certain situation I know of recently at a particular church, which I am fairly sure non of the membership here would know. The pastor was given info concerning one of the members. The member was removed from leadership.

Of course, some of the church was furious. Believe me, it was better they didn't know. Would you want YOUR personal info broadcast from rooftop to rooftop?

Now, I honestly have no clue what should have been disclosed in MOW's mind. All I know is...sometimes, I don't want to know what I hear.

I'll simply reply to your question with MOW's own words:

If you hide nothing, people have nothing to "dig" up.

THIS IS A MAN (PASTOR JOHN ADAMS) that I am sure would say, "My word is bond!!!"

Now we are talking apples and oranges. I would have done the same thing in the same situation.

Not running out on ya, folks. I am at the office, and I must needs go home.

Translation: My wife just called and said to get home. Nite Nite!

When folks follow MOW's example in the way they operate...then I assure you this will be a happy and easy place to be with no apparent "tension" !

I will address that tomorrow.
