Sure hope someone's not out to get this pastor and spreading lies.

I would think it was just the person posting it showing a bit of class not detailing the accusations. I think what was written covered the situation just fine.

The original post didn't specify reasons. They were just stating the facts about the departure. Cleatus posted the Wikipedia link - but, well, it was on Wikipedia... Pretty public already.

The truth is ultraconservative flesh is no different from uberliberal flesh.
This is a huge hole in the ultracon armor. Ultracon Apo's believe their standards keep them from falling. But they don't.

Hey what about the Guru Nityananda Swami getting arrested?
Listen, it has nothing to do with ultra or liberal, Christian, or Brahmin, people drop the ball, and everyone on the side lines either throw kisses, or sling mud.
Positions of authority, or positions of followers, people are going to be people.
Oh, another thing, standards thrown under the bus?
Good grief, some people need to get themselves some new material.

It is not just "shooting two birds with one stone" but sometimes shooting scores or hundreds with one stone.

Yes. It is not rumor. I would not have posted that he resigned if it were not true.

You say that with a straight face while we are talking about yet another incident. The irony is rich.

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
Bro. Terry Black was not a conservative from my understanding. I might be incorrect, but I do not believe that I am wrong. I would need to see more of his church.
