You objected to my characterization of "blowing up new converts," but how can a pastor put the hammer down in a mixed congregation without potentially doing that? I'm not saying it would be his goal, but collateral damage is a real thing.
For instance, a new couple arrives at the church. In the following weeks, they meet with the pastor for counseling and discuss some of the things they know they need to work on. Pastor hammers away on a few of these things in the next Sunday sermon because Sister Sally Pewsitter across the way has been doing them and that pastor wants to nip it in the bud. New couple thinks he is airing dirty laundry and never comes back. Has that pastor done his job or done more harm than good?
