And actually, the people who do attend his church, seem to love him.
I get it dizz. why fight such a battle? I likely wouldnt fight it either.

it just is disgusting to know that at the end of the day this guy is going to cause more harm than good.

I know some folk who loved their pastor. they even got divorced because he told them to. Their adoration did not justify the sins of the pastor who led many into near ruin.

I feel the same way, but I also know that a group of men who know much more about this situation than I do (or even want to) discussed it at length, prayed about it, and came to that decision. For me to second guess them, with out even having the benefit of the "whole" story, is just not smart.

If it were up to me, a lot of things would be different! And everyone breathes a collective sigh of relief that it isn't up to me....

First of all, no one is making a documentary on any of your lives. If they did, would anyone want to watch?

Second, it's interesting that people who've spent years in fundamentalist, pentecostal circles would label RG a nut. If so, he doesn't fall far from the tree.

Does it take one to know one?

C'mon! The guy is a kook in a kooky town. Maybe it's contextualization. Maybe he sold his house at the top of the market. Maybe he's crazy like a fox. I don't really believe that but I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Wow! If this is the benefit of the doubt, then mercy is really not your gift.
