(With the exception of my grandparents and couple other saints.)

I met the pastor and his wife, they were real sweethearts, and did nothing at all to deserve the treatment. Questioning decisions made by large monetary contributors was probably their most heinous offense.

My Grandma cried over that, and eventually changed churches, because she was so ashamed of her fellow church members' behavior.

I grew up in a pastor's home; I know firsthand how badly saints can treat pastors...and their wives...and their kids.

Well then you know that it is indeed a two way street. For every story about a church member being treated badly one could be told about a pastor being treated badly. I have been treated bad by both, bur what good comes out of airing it.

It just make people think bad of the good one whether they be church member or preacher.
