Does this dude have a job outside of his shakedown “Pastorship”?
Next, he’ll have to demand money to fix his teeth!
Lol…
My first thought as well. GMTA
I bought an Egard watch after seeing the founder on Tucker. Reasonably priced and well made.
True
And they can’t use a rotary phone either.

The ultimate Narcissist.
To these people, they think the universe revolves around them.
The young punk needs a serious comeuppance, and I DON’T CARE WHAT COLOR HE IS, he is only after material wealth and wants his parishioners to fund his excesses.
“‘you mean a clock with hands?’
And many can’t read it.”
I splurged on a Meister Singer watch a few months ago. It only has one hand, like old European clock towers. It absolutely blows the minds of the local teens when they try to read it. I like to watch them struggle…it’s delicious.

“Beware false prophets”…
I like analog, though.
He could hit up the congregation for money to have a diamond set into each one, so he’ll have a DAZZLING smile!
He should just go steal it, he has the right genes for that.
What I don’t understand is why people fall for and follow bling and shinola merchants like this dolt. Some kind of sickness or is it a mental disorder?
I don’t have that problem with my Apple Watch. I’m not gloating, it’s just that these things cost so much money, you think they would have the bugs ironed out, but no, “get em on the market and sell em” and worry about the bugs later.
My watch was a gift.
It would be hilarious if each member of his congregation gave him a $20.00 Red Lobster gift card for Christmas. You want my Red Lobster money, here you go, preacher!
You should have drawn a 24hr clock face, too, just to piss em off🙂
This man/these folks are using “pastor” in a way that is never used in the Bible, as do most denominations.
In the New Testament, Paul describes the organization of a local church in one verse, Phil. 1.1:
“Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, to all the SAINTS in Christ that are at Philippi, with the BISHOPS and DEACONS.”
Saints were ordinary Christians, as they were sanctified or set apart for the service of Christ. Bishops, also translated overseers, were also called elders and shepherds in Ac. 20.17-18.
17 And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called to him the ELDERS of the church...28 Take heed unto yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit hath made you BISHOPS, to FEED the church of the Lord which he purchased with his own blood.
In the New Testament, elders, bishops, and shepherds all refer to the same men. Elders comes from the Greek PRESBUTEROS which means an older man. Roman Catholicism translates this word as priest, as the basis of their clerics. Bishops and overseers comes from EPISKOPOS. In Roman Catholicism, a bishop is an overseer of priests in the diocese under him, but he doesn’t hold the same office an elder does. Shepherd comes from POIMEIN, and the verb form is translated “to feed,” or “to tend,” as a shepherd does a flock of sheep. In the New Testament, elders, bishops, and shepherds of a local church are ALWAYS given in the plural. There is no instance of a singular elder, bishop, or shepherd of a church in the Bible. Check this for yourself in Ac. 13.12, 15.2, 15.4, 6, 22, 23, 16.4, 20.17, 21.18, Tit. 1.5, Jas. 5.1.
We can also see elders, bishops, and shepherds being used of the same men in I Pet. 5.1-3:
Actually, the word POIMEIN, translated shepherd, is one time (out of 18 occurrences in the New Testament) in Eph. 4.11-13, translated by the Latin word PASTOR:
11 And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, PASTORS and teachers; 12 for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ: 13 till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Why translate a Greek word in an English translation with a LATIN word? Why not a Hungarian word? Would make just as much sense, wouldn’t it? Can you guess who translated it with a Latin word? Some religious translator in Texas? Or Italy, the seat of the Roman Catholic church? That would be more likely, wouldn’t it? It’s strange that PASTOR is used in nearly every English translation, and if it wasn’t for Eph. 4.8, preachers in denominations wouldn’t be called PASTORS ever!
The qualifications of elders, bishops, and shepherds (again, always plural) are given in I Tim. 3.1ff and Tit. 1.5ff. Read those passages quickly and you’ll find that that they were married men, family men with believing children. Bishops with wives and children ruling the elders? Read it for yourself. A plurality in every church? Read it for yourself. In I Pet. 5.1-2, Peter said he was an elder, therefore he was a married man, which is why he had a mother in law in Mt. 8.14, Mk. 1.30, and Lk. 4.38.
Wonder where the vast majority of denominations got the idea of a single PASTOR leading the congregation came from? Not from the New Testament, but undoubtedly from Roman Catholicism. Another tradition of men making void the doctrine of Jesus Christ, making worship void, as Jesus warned in Mk. 7.13: “Making void the word of God by your tradition.”
pastor is gone today
or congregation is gone tomorrow
That's no truth. That's just blatant racism and you diminish this site with that garbage.
How pathetic.
