In my experience....most pastors who hold a very tight leash on attendence....only really care when its a "high-dollar/high-talent" sheep that goes missing....and don't care so much when it involves a sheep that requires more of them.

Getting back to the topic now....do you have any thoughts on the church and pastor that are actively targetting other Oneness churches to take people from those congregations to enlarge their own?

Do you think such a congregation/Pastor is a healthy one that does that without any care or concern how it might affect the people they are "taking" and the congregation they are dividing?
