How about if we just wait and see what really happens ,instead of all this pointless speculating?

If the pastor is following the Lord and uses his Holy Ghost wisdom, and doesn't spew bitterness, it can be a very positive experience. People will always be affected by decisions. It is most important to do the right thing for the right reason. People will equally be affected if a pastor doesn't choose to leave and the majority think he should because the Lord is directing. Where will it ever end? When the last bit of "politics" is squeegeed out of the organization and the Lord once again takes center stage!
Goodness, why in the world would TV be an issue of fellowship over? If one goes on TV, let him do it unto the Lord. If one does not go on TV, the same. Nothing worth losing friendship or fellowship over.
