Hey, so far this has been a refreshingly civil thread. I've seen how nasty threads can get when someone feels their religious views are being attacked so thanks to everyone who has so far exhibited Christian charity. Thanks for the post; it helps those of us who are not familiar with the guy.
Spoke too soon.
I agree. I will admit I've been very emotional about this since I was essentially publicly dragged behind the purpose driven horse with my hands tied at my church, with no real explanation to the people of my church as to what my 'great sin' was except that I 'insulted' (rebuked) the pastor in an email which I also cc'd to two other men who had also tried to very GENTLY take him to task many times and for their efforts were disenfranchised and marginalized and given the cold shoulder.
BTW my pastor is scared of women. That didn't help. lol
