because it usually was based on he said, she said.

Usually it resulted in hurt feelings all around ... someone being disfellowshipped ... and fueds that may last for decades ....

ALL FOR WHAT ????

It's time we move on ... and stop being territorial ...

someone goes ... LET IT BE. It hurts, sure ... We're supposded to be big SEASONED boys and girls.

But too much time has been wasted on sorting these issues and USUALLY it results in HIGHLY CHARGED OPINIONS ... not FACTS.

Any pastor who thinks that their sheep have been stolen ... needs to re-evaluate the mission.

AND YES ... LOVE MONEY ... IS THE ROOT OF EVIL ... and does play a role in a lot of this .... some way or another.

Can you show where in whawt I posted the issue was about territory or money?

I am talking about an active campaign to get members of one church to join theirs....and you think the thing to do is attack the UPC pastor for being concerned about such actions? Do you think that what that church is doing is spiritually healthy?
