Well, I was 14-19 during my stint there so I have no idea of any specifics of internal politics going on at the time (although I had a general sense of it). But he DID mention this "double honor" more than once from the pulpit, no doubt answering critics who asked about it in private. He was a good one for responding to people in a way where everyone could hear. He was also the type who always referred to himself in the 3rd person when talking and issuing commands, errrr I mean, his "opinion" which according to other teaching was a defacto command since "The Pastor" said it.
