This makes me think of the Lee Stoneking thread...becauuuussseee...I think that leaders often underestimate the power of suggestion. They can make a suggestion to an audience, veiled, implied or outright--and SOMEone is going to run with the implication. The overall intent will be ignored, assuming it was good intent.
Lee Stoneking--just preaching his thoughts--has, with Ruth Reider, inspired a sub culture of belief about cut hair that is patently unbiblical, and I seriously doubt that was his intent.
In THIS case, I think it WAS the intent to lay some framework, but perhaps things got out of hand and moved along quicker, and differently than was originally planned.
Irrelevant, really, because the end is still chaos and discord.
One preacher said to a group of fellow ministers about another preacher who wasn't present: "I had to let him go." "Why?" *quiet smile* "I can't say, but he did commit sin." Rumor mill took that quiet, vague comment and RAN away with it.
People are people everywhere.
