They have since changed this rule as their grandchildren are now grown and they needed a good education to get a decent job. ***VOMITS****

Heavens to betsy! Imagine the nerve of that mean dictatorial pastor, realizing the need for today's generation to get a college education! How dare he?

Let me rephrase my response: since when is it a BAD thing for a pastor to change his stance on something? To read what some folks post out here, it is a time for rejoicing when a preacher gets 'liberated' and stops preaching against separation from the world. Guess it ISN'T okay for a preacher to recognize a change in the times and thus change a stance on something like a college education? What a big double standard.

Not really my point. My husband struggles to provide for us, because the leaders in our church would not let him go to college (or anyone else). It appears they make changes only when it applies to their families.

Now...that is some truth! Seen it a time or two. (Thank God not in my church!)
