New Age Pastors/Church Administration

* in order to do anything/get approval one has to go through a chain of authority from the bottom to the top so that if the plans fall through then there is someone other than leadership to blame it on.
* for security and insurance purposes, or because a VIP things you should...all members should go through a new converts class/membership class and be accepted into fellowship regardless of whether they have been in the church, ministry, or paid their tithes all their life.
* Pastors do not counsel others in their congregation if their tithes are not paid up in full with doc. proof.
* The prosperity message is preached every offering time.
* The first thing to go out the door if remodeling is the kitchen and dining area because we have forgotten that our churches were built on the blood sweat and tears over hot peanut brittle, and working women who built the church

Sister Sharhonda,

I think that you would make a wonderful Pastor. But, that might tie some folk underwear in a wad if you were, but those that were left would greatly benefit form you wisdom and Word. The more that I know you, the more I see your wisdom, intelligence and apparently well ordered life.

I also believe in prosperity. I believe it should be preached as a doctrine...but not in the tone that the "Prosperity" preachers preach it. I would be proud to hear you preach a prosperity message or any message for that matter. I have all reasons to believe that you would be a fine preacher.

You were absolutely beautiful Sunday, with an outfit on that would stun the eyes of any caloused critic. I loved your purse. I think that I saw a little Afro/American flair in it together with your hanky. You are a class act, girl. I really enjoyed seeing you Sunday.
