Re: Any willing to answer my question?

[QUOTE=1Corinth2v4;774032]Hometownguy,

I must admit, I was upset when the resolution passed, as I personally knew it would create havoc amongst the organization. However, I haven't heard of any church advertising on television. In any-case, what impact should a preacher's decision have upon my life, due to his decision of advertising on television?


You stated, "and it was not the way we wanted to go." Forgive me, but I must point out your inconsistency. I was personally informed by pastors that both you and I know, they stated "we're not going to vote, it's getting tiresome. They'll only bring up the resolution next year if it's defeated this year." A massive portion of California didn't attend to vote down the resolution.

Yet, you stated "that's not the way we wanted to go?" What did "WE" meaning "YOU FOLKS" do to prevent the resolution from passing?


You also stated, "this resolution showed the direction of the org." The resolution in no manner displays the org's direction. There are brethren within high ranking positions that opposed the resolution, that's not including a mass multitude of ministering brethren through-out the USA. Within distance of you and I, there are many men whom are like-minded and didn't leave. I don't believe your statement about the org's direction holds any water.[/QUOTE]

give it some time and you wont have enough jugs to hold all the water in my statement.

Did you get an answer for this? The Bibles speaks of the minister being a shepherd and the congregation the sheep. A shepherd cannot drive sheep. He has to lead them. It seems to me like there are too many that want to drive instead of lead.

Re: Any willing to answer my question?

So do I. I think that to some a church is like a business you pass down. I know of two churches that the father passed the church down to a son and one to a son-in-law. Can't say that I totally agree with it but then they didn't ask me.
