I bet none of you personally know anything negative about any of these men yet you can criticize there action, call them names. They see something you don’t.

As time goes you are going to find a lot more Bro McCain’s out there that will become part of World Wide Pentecostal Fellowship.

After a year or so when the dust settles you are going to be shocked.

I think it's fair to question and even to criticize their actions. Speculation about motives gets a little harder to do. Judging their hearts is harder still and probably not our judgment to make any way.

But policy decisions have always been fair game in any converstation.

Dora, he is one of the least hot headed people I know. Wayne McClain is absolutely one of the greatest Christians I have ever known.

The man is so good I have wondered if he is even real sometimes.

His young people weren't allowed to associate with Life Tab kids. He's my cousin-in-law...(I don't know him, though.)LOL

Do your friends have to line up to all your beliefs to remain your friends?

I've known and have fellowshiped most of these men over the years. Love them all, but its not unusal for positions of leadership to effect people. Positions that they hold or fail to hold.

Who knows the heart? It seems that most of these men have held office or desired to hold office in the past. I think this whole thing is about power and control.

This new "fellowship" may afford them those opportunities.

Just my opinion.

I think it's all about ego, control, and power. Ok, so some of these men didn't get the "position" that they wanted. Sorry, Life isn't fair! We've all been there. We didn't get picked for the team at recess. We didn't win the spelling bee. The list goes on and on. If ministry was doing everything that the Bible teaches regarding the office of Pastor, Teacher, Evangelist, etc. There wouldn't be any time for all of the junk that’s happening. If a minister can Pastor his church and meet the needs of those he is serving and still hold an office, without neglecting the church, then great. I think it’s time for ministry to remember just what their calling really is and to get back to building the lives of people that are in his care...

That's your prerogative. I love Life Tab and I know they are good people.

It's interesting to see how many of WMc's kids married Life Tab kids and now attend Life Tab.
