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.
