It was a joke and have already apologized. I'm not larry boy and certainly am not a liar. God bless and have a good day.
I can attest to this, crazyhomie did apologize to me for his comments.

I assisted a man a short time who he and his wife would put welts on his daughter's legs...We didn't stay long.. it bordered on abuse imo...
I was done that way all my life. Nobody, including the pastor, ever said anything. In fact, additional punishments were encouraged because I was seen a a rebellious, disobedient child.

...you have a man in your church who is not supporting his family, or at least attempting it, or,
...you have a man in your church who is verbally/physically abusive to his wife and/or children?
Do you rebuke them? Are you heavy handed about these issues? Do you try to handle abusive situations on your own, or do you involve the authorities?
Do you regularly teach/preach to men about how to provide and care for their wives and children?
Just curious...sometimes I wonder if the reason there seems to be a weaker presence of men in some churches because they aren't taught or prompted to be stronger men at home....?
Seven years, and I assisted for over a decade prior to that. How about you Friend? Are you a pastor?
Oh no! I'm not a pastor. I'm actually the guy delta guitar referred to earlier in this thread. No way I could be a pastor. I tend to handle the dirty work around the church. As you see by my name I'm the soundman so there is a few layers of tough skin there. For the past few years I handled spats that would arise between platform members, singers, musicians, various ministry folks. I told my pastor a long time ago that I would not come to him with avery nit picking problem that arose among "saints" that were on the platform. I instead told him I would deal with these situations and if I went to far just yank my coatails and I would back away. Being the soundman puts me in the position to se certain people in situations that my pastor isn't around to witness. I would generally take one of these folks aside away from the crowd and explain to them the way their actions looked to others in the church. Their attitudes, lack of dedication, or sense of entitlement that comes with people that have been born and raised in Pentecost. Like I said, the dirty work. I'm very analitical in thought. I'm very concerned in the impression that church members and vistors get from ministry on our platform. There have been a few that would go to the pastor and complain about the strong and ,in some cases, heavy handed approach I took with them. He would ask them why I i did or said what did to them. By the end of their conversation with the pastor they would see the error of their ways. I think every pastor needs one of those guys in their church. Micromanagement will kill a pastor. I know this was a long answer to just say "no I'm not a pastor."
I tend to do hat sometimes. God bless.

Most pastors would love to have someone strong and committed like you Bro.
I think some must have misunderstood my earlier posts on this thread. I don't go around rebuking people all of the time. This was an isolated incident that required immediate attention.
