Re: Confidentiality of Tithes

Re: Confidentiality of Tithes

Are we bashing Pastor's on this thread?

If it is God's will for your illness then why are you seeking medical attention to get rid of it?

In all my years of pastoring - I NEVER was in the room when a woman delivered a child or was anywhere near delivery. But I have been with the fearful husband and the girls family, praying and ministering to them as she delivered the baby.
What in the world is wrong with you people that you have to judge every move a man of God makes??? Weirdos!
And how long were you there?

SE quoted 12 hours on day one.. then his wife went back and spent the night until he could get back the next day... Now if this girl was an orphan with no family and no husband and no friend, social worker, doula, midwife or other experienced or professional woman to stay with her I will take back every word of what I said... but if not... In my opinion that is just over the top just as 'free at last' questioned.

As far as ministers go. I have respect for them. I work for doctors, I have respect for them too but I am not enamored of them. Jesus Christ is the only one I believe I can not question. Otherwise to me all men put their pants on one leg at a time and none is above having to explain his actions if he chooses to open them up on a public forum for discussion.

I do not ascribe any supernatural powers to the Grand Poobah High Potentate Man of God. I believe that he that desires the office of Bishop desires a good work and and must be worthy as per 1Timothy 3.

No pastor-bashing here and no disrespect to your office intended.

People who are not very smart tend to be name callers. You seem to have almost taken it to the level of an art form. Is there something significant about that?
Do you use a lot of profanity in your private life? I have also noticed that those things seem to go together.

YOU might need to read some of the NAMES you have called people right in your own church! I have never used profanity in my life. Who died and put you in charge? You are highly critical of the ministry and should repent of it.

Re: Confidentiality of Tithes

Well I wasn't there for y'all I was there for them. I certainly was not in the delivery room. AND I went back and checked on them this evening. I know one thing y'all are happy I am not your pastor AND I am happy I am not your pastor.
So everyone is happy.

Re: Confidentiality of Tithes

I knew of a situation where an overseer felt he had to follow a sister over seas to the Olympics. She was a track athelete. Don't know who paid for it.

The tithing thingy is interesting in seeing that I thought to get 501c3 tax break there must be a board. Can all the tax free money go to just one individual?? Is that legal?

Good for you Pastor Epley and I don't think most of these are very happy about ANYTHING but one thing for sure - I am HAPPY that I am not their pastor too!
So - Now we should ALL be HAPPY CAMPERS!

I have indeed made up silly names for over the top drama queens in my church that I have shared with my husband. No person was ever hurt by them and it was not done in anger but in fun. I do not doubt that you have probably done the very same thing.

What I do not share with you is that you are a very hostile fellow who has a very low tolerance for anyone who disagrees with you expressed in the crudest ways and could possibly benefit from some counseling and anger management.

I have heard the terms tightwad, weirdo, stupid, nuts etc. ad nauseam directed at people on this board. You are small minded with a big mouth, offensive and vulgar.

I don't tend to have a problem with ministry in general but yes I believe I will need to repent of what I think of you personally.
