Featured When to confront a pastor

Family reunion?

 

Baloney..he didn't derail is own thread. The grammar police came out in post #2.

 

Matt - what else was in post #2 besides the grammar correction?

 

I fail to understand how this is relevant. Could you elaborate?

When you are the member of a church you may certainly ask to meet with him to discuss your concerns. If your attitude is to "confront" him if he meets with you then it will most likely not be a fruitful.

Honestly it seems you are constantly on the look out for a reason to confront someone. What you need to understand is that you are in the minority at that church. You do not get to set doctrine by yourself. Your confrontational attitude only creates hostility and disunity. Quite frankly based on what you have posted about things at that church and your attitude I would not tolerate you at all. In fact any further "confrontation" would be seen as an attempt to create disunity and I would begin the process of church discipline on you.

If you do not like the doctrine of the church then you need to leave and find another church. I would also caution you to be aware of how all of this dissension you are trying to create may effect your marriage.

You spend more time worrying about your version of the truth than you do about the people involved. Your approach to all of this is completely unbalanced. As a result you are creating problems that are unnecessary.

 

Please explain to me the thought process that leads you to think that my post needs to be reported.

Second thought. Belay that and just report it.

...and I thought that I was on your Ignore list again.

 

Amen. That really spoke to me, Revmitchell. I think we should all consider it. Daily.

 

FTR, I posted the picture of the laughing kangaroo because:

1. Evan has been begging me to post a kangaroo picture.

2. Like Evan posting pictures of rabbits, I thought a laughing kangaroo was an appropriate response to his OP.

 

I agree entirely with the message above and approve its content.*

So was having problems with baby chicks dying, and I couldn't catch the culprit. So I moved a rabbit into a different cage, and moved the chicks to the rabbit cage.

Couple of days later, I'm putting feed in the cage for the chicks, and I realize: That stick underneath my arm is NOT a stick. After I got over the heebie-jeebies of being that close to a 6' rat snake, I exterminated said snake. Some might say, non-venomous and eats rodents; well, he didn't react to me feeding the chicks because he was lethargic from having just ingested one of the chicks. Snake had to go.

Also explains why the egg production was down. Used to get up to a dozen eggs a day; have only been getting 2-5 over the last few months.

All that build-up to share: 2 more 4-foot snakes in the barn last night; and a 3-footer this morning. Suffice to say, there are several new holes in the barn walls...thinking I'm gonna need to buy a Taurus Judge 'cause I'm tired of carrying the shotgun out to the barn....

Edited to add: What does any of this have to do with anything in this thread? Well, I did mention that I moved a rabbit out of it's cage, and with all the talk about rabbits, there's a relation to posts in the thread....

BTW: -1 for me for improper personal pronoun (it's instead of its).
