Would you mind clueing in your comrades on the women preacher thread about such conduct? They don't see my POV, but maybe they would listen to you.
I don't mind that there are people who don't believe women should preach. That's a personal opinion just as I have mine, but I don't like the implications that are tossed around by some that women preachers are lesbians, thus posting pics and making statements to imply such.
Discussions like that are not discussions at all, but instead are negative, degrading, and childish posts made by those with minds too small to have honest and intellectual discussion.
In reflection, while you speak against women preachers heavily, I don't believe I've ever seen your degrade them as people. Thanks for that.

But it's obviously different when it's women preachers being bashed. They can even be referred to as masculine lesbians!
OH my OH my talk about being disrespectful(bashing)...I know there are many that are against..."women preachers"...can anyone be against Sister Freeman...my goodness what a wonderful woman of God...she has given her life to spreading the gospel...I have heard her preach many times, and read her books, talk about a woman of faith!
I have never had someone come into a church that I [pastor with these types of complaints. If Did I would investigate them to see if they were true, many times thing agree blown all out of proportion. They I would tell the person to get on with their live. Leave the past in the past, have a good prayer meeting and go on.
I can agree with that in most cases, but what of the parent who's children were so battered and physically, as well as spiritually beaten down to the point that they hate God, in prison, and are Satanists? Do you know how to deal with that not only as a pastor but from a parent's POV?

Can you believe that I've had people tell me that she will be judged for her disobedience to God for preaching?

I agree that things can get blown our of proportion, but there are 4 posters on this thread that were in the same church...I can list several more that would and could tell you the same thing..they are not here so I would not do that...but I could come up with 9 family's right off the top of my head...no sorry if I think a few more seconds I make that 12
I do understand being a pastor is a HARD job, very hard, there are many saints that wills suck the very life out of you if you let them...so are so needy and self centered they think only of their needs not matter what time of day it is, or what the pastor may have on his own plate....I have ministers, and pastors in my family...I know its a hard life...a blessed one, but hard none the less...I have stated that I truly feel my old pastors had good intentions and no evil intent...but sadly they don't see the truth of what they are doing...I pray they do..

They must pray through over their bitterness and angry or be lost.
Jesus was crucified and he said forgive them.
Even if one is done wrong they MUST get over it and forgive the person even if the person doesn't ask for forgiveness or they will be lost.

This such a genric response to what could be major catastrophic events that took place in a person life, seems rather callous to me-imo
