You read it here first!!!

It will pass by at least 90 votes. Many of the conservatives have already made up their minds to leave. They will not be going to vote.

I have heard this RUMOR as well.

May I add that Pastors are not to be dictators either!

The Apostle Peter (first pope? or first Presiding Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ?) said,
"The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: Feed (shepherd/pastor) the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples of the flock." 1 Peter 5:1-3

I think all modern pastors need to take this verse to heart... There is way too much lording over people being done by leadership in all churches...

I do not think it is really that widespread. It all depends. If you come in with all of the differences of opinions that you have and start voicing them, you can expect to see the leader resist and become more domineering.

a book of rules = more domaneering than that Bible verse allows, IMO...
