Facebook Drama Part Two

     Have received support about what I said on facebook to a greater extent than what I thought I would get.  Not only did Linda support me, but she even POSTED about it.  We had a long talk on the phone last night.  She actually agrees with me on a great deal that is going on at the church, and it really surprised me.  The only thing I can't figure out is why she continues to support pastor so wholeheartedly after all the things he is doing.  I can understand supporting a CHURCH even if things aren't going the way they should because it is supposed to be about god instead of people, but I don't really get supporting a pastor if he is doing things wrong.
     Now don't misunderstand me.  I fully believe that people are a composite of both good and bad and that no one is perfect.  but...if too many suspicious and/or somewhat dubious things are going on with a leader, maybe he doesn't deserve to be that leader anymore.  But no, Linda's first instinct is to protect this man, keep some of the things she knows about him to herself and not tell anyone.  She admitted this to me because she said that our former pastor told her some things about our current pastor which were pretty bad.  So why are you protecting this guy then?  But then it all depends on what those things are though.  Everybody makes mistakes.  If they cheat on their wife or something, that is a private matter that doesn't have anything to do with their ability to be a pastor as far as I am concerned.  Now if they are accused of stealing money from the church or something...
     Anyway, was nice to get some support from an unexpected source.  She was in complete agreement with me about what happened basically except that she was pretty much putting the whole blame on the church member and giving pastor a pass.  Well, he was the one who actively encouraged her to tattle, so he is just as guilty as far as I am concerned, maybe more so.
     Enough though.  Have devoted two posts on this-no more.
