I have heard a lot of the members say they are "starving" spiritually becaue of the way he is preaching now. As for the tithing - he has told people they are not members but yet still tells them if they don't give him their tithes they are cursed - actually heard him say that with my own ears once - he can't have it both ways. He is causing division and confusion in the church - the bible says God is not the author of confusion - the Devil is having and field day with this pastor.

LOL... Been there... done that and have the half torn tee shirt to prove it. LOL
I would interject here though that I am thankful for my current pastor. After all I have been through in the past I really thought I would never find a place where I could begin to trust someone again. For me to trust anyone now I have to trust your heart and it is beginning to seem like I have found that.
Things seemed good at first... but I remained skeptical. After taking some time to really get to know this man I am increasingly impressed with his love for people, honesty and integrity.
I am still a little gun shy and have the occasional knee jerk reaction from time to time... but I feel myself settling in for the first time in years. Wish me well.
