Rhoni, would you explain why?

Well, it was the worst experience of my life. I won't go into it again because I have forgiven them. But I would never pastor a board run church again - and it looks like I'll never pastor again too doesn't it?:itsover

Getting back to the topic. Under the cicumstances a lawsuit was the only option. And was a last resort. The sad part is it is still not settled.

Shouldn't the Biblical approach have been the last resort, whichever outcome there was, "win" or "lose", end of story?

Re: UPC District board suing church in MS.?
 

Wondering "how is it not settled"? Has the church voted to disaffiliate? If so, is the district planning on appealing the legal ruling?

Re: UPC District board suing church in MS.?
 

The lawsuit was to have the vote thrown out since the pastor violated several bylaws. If the pastor would have done things properly this would not have been an issue.

And after the election the pastor refused any meetings with the board members that disagreed with him. His claim was since disaffilated the he did not have to abide by an bylaws.

The point is the pastor is the one that refused any kind of meetings to bring the church into agreement. He now has a membership letter that you have to sign and part of it says you have to agree with him on every issue. That does not mean just on Biblical issues. You have to agree with him on issues such as paint colors and other trivial matters.

thanks, i know these people and for some strange reason they feel the need to be a part of an emerging ultra con organization. I loved Bro. Triplett, he was such a fine godly man. Its a good thing he isn't here to see the mess. I'm sure Sis. Triplett is horrified.
