Not What It Seems?
I concluded my post last Sunday about the pastor that ex-communicated members over poltics with these words:
At this point I find myself wondering if this really was over political affiliation or if that is how the excommunicated are casting it? Time will tell, since no one seems to be talking.Well, yesterday we learned that those sent to the wilderness were in church Sunday.
"This all started over politics and our right to vote for whoever we wanted to," said Thelma Lowe, who has been attending the church for 42 years. She and her husband Frank, a deacon at the church for 35 years, were among those voted out.My suspicion deepens. Hypothesis. This pastor dared to have a political opinion that disagreed with this bunch. They got up in arms over it, and likely a whole bunch of other stuff as well. The congregation voted them out not because of their actual political views but because they were inappropriate in handling their disagreements with the pastor. They were too dumb to tell the difference and called the press. Remember, that's only a hypothesis - Time will tell.
"Things will never be the same here until he leaves," she said.
