If the "man of God in my life" is doing something wrong, even demanding that I do something immoral, unethical, or unBiblical, I'd be better off without a "man of God", and will have no respect for him no matter what "office" he holds. Some men carry a card but they don't have God's stamp of approval... or mine.

Yes, even if he trashs you (which happens to often)

I agree completely, except sometimes someone needs to speak up. If the man has molested children, speak. If the man is embezzling funds, speak. If the man is threatening or slandering people, speak. If the man is engaging in illegal activity of any sort-and you have the evidence to prove it, please speak up. Otherwise you become an accomplice.

Ummm... he said he'd heard, not that he'd never heard, Soc.
