he'd have members. This guy thinks he's leading, but he's only taking a walk.
I kind of feel sorry for him, though. I am in the ministry. If the people don't support you, you have no ministry. This guy has no support. If he did he wouldn't have had to do what he did. He probably didn't bother telling anyone because these people aren't committed to attending his "church" anyway.
If it were me, I'd cut my losses, pray for him and move on. Don't call the police, just move on.
One of the biggest problems facing the church today is bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness between believers.

I would join a church or church group. SM
I'm sure you will find someone like yourself, who likes to do the things you do, whether friend is male or female.
I'm laughing, because I am not religious fanatic. I do go to place of worship, but believe me, not fanatical.
church, church, courthouse. Married the same man
all 3 times. 
Well my church is a SB church in South Georgia
So maybe you're going to the wrong SB church!
Our Pastor once said
In response to the local newpaper asking if we were holding any fish frys for Lent:
We are fishers of men, not fryers of fish.
Well, I thought it was funny!
That's sad; I've seen a pastor (sm)
disregard feelings of the older members, courting a younger crowd and basically telling the older people if they didn't like the changes they could leave, but I haven't heard of someone basically practically giving a building and contents away like that. That's one reason I won't ever be a member of an independent church; I kind of like an individual pastor not having so much power to do as they wish.
Unfortunately, I think the folks who have donated things that have been sold probably don't have any legal recourse. It might be worth checking with a lawyer, though.
My DH is a pastor, and this is just wrong .... SM
no matter what the denomination. It's not HIS church, and these are not his material things to be done away with. 
I have heard of a junior pastor
coming in and stealing all the cash offerings and it went on for years, so anything is possible.
A pastor is a servant. Does this behavior sound servant-like?
One day our pastor stopped by for a visit
and my son, who was 5 then, was talking to him. The pastor asked my son what time his bedtime was and he replied, "it's s'posed to be 9 o'clock, but mommy says we piss 'round till 10." I almost died of embarrassment. Unfortunately, pissin' is a word I use quite often and never realized how much kids picked up on it. Thankfully, the pastor laughed and said he understood completely as he grew up on a farm and there was a lot of that going on there.
One of my all-time favorite sayings from my pastor: Givers always sm
have enough. Takers never have enough.
Both me and my husband are big givers- to the church, our family, our friends, strangers. I love to entertain and open up our home to others and this summer, every single Wed. we invite at least 4 families over to come swimming in our pool and just do whatever they want to do to "get away" for a while. We live pretty far out from town.
We love to give and give our time and love, too. It keeps us young, happy, and fulfilled.
The truly happy in life are happy because they give of their time and their life to helping others. When you do that, you really don't have time to harp on the negatives in your life or wonder "why doesn't anyone do that for me?"
Want to be happy? Get over yourself. Go across the street and help your depressed neighbor.
That explains better why you would post here. Pastor's wives are often isolated from friends. W

Just ONE more clue....
x
No clue (sm)
I don't have any idea what she may like so I'm looking for ideas that pretty much any 18-year-old gilr would like. Thanks for the ideas.
Another clue
I wondered...was I the only one that caught the remark about Tom bringing up the fact that Sam did not cook anything and how this was a cooking competition? The only thing Marcel cooked was the fried taro chip. Woo Woo. As for the pineapple poi, it looked like something dripped on the plate while moving the spoon to the rest. Heck who knew, I could be top chef!
Yea I saw that and you have no clue
x
You are right, have no clue about
your post. I have done the mothering thing, the working thing together so I am stating what I saw with the hardworking mothers mostly all at the playground stating how many hrs they put in a week and what they are worth. I surely do not understand where they would estimate the worth of a stay at home mom at $183,000 plus a year- do you get that working or even half of that? Don’t think so.
I do not have a clue what OP
means?
I had no clue either !! NM

Just a clue of what it is about??? sm
Looking for Christmas gifts, don't want to be inappropriate, no clue.
That would be my first clue not to
I have never stayed anywhere that they do not have 24-hour front desk. Find another hotel to stay at.
My husband, who has no clue as to...
who either one is, said the same thing, that Beyonce sounded like an amateur. I too was concerned about the breasts popping out of Jennifer's dress!
lol, totally NO CLUE..
I'm sure all the neighbors talk about that nut job around the corner who breastfed her very large baby at the ball park! C'mon now...can't even give the kid a juice box or something at baseball time? Something wrong with this picture. I seriously hope she's joking.
dont have a clue
Well said!
ooh thanks for the explanation, I had NO CLUE!!!
"get a clue?" That was mean
This woman is hurting about some very serious issues here and you sign yourself with some glib catch phrase. You really should be a little more compassionate. Remember the golden rule "treat others as you would be treated."
no clue what I was trying to type- sm
under influence of cold meds......think I was trying to type "I was born in 1965".
This will give her no clue. Sure he will
accept her invitation and DVD, again, it does not cost him anything.
Haven't a clue, sorry...
... I was invited by a friend who went to the original tea party locally. I expect it's the same folks, but I am not entirely sure. You might try the tea party sites. Or it could be just a local "take" on the tea party movement, with a slight name change to indicate that we're even more "teed off" now than we were a few months ago. Or something.
Another day, another billion dollars or three....
Don't have a clue, never relied on a pacifer
for my children, no rocking chair either to rock them to sleep and so glad a friend of mine with child my same age came to visit overnight. She rocked and rocked and rocked and my child went to bed and to sleep, no problem.
I don't have a clue. It is my opinion and mine
alone. Of course, they would like to make more money for what they do, just as I would, but I don't consider myself highly underpaid either.
I have no clue as to what type the flowers are
just know they are a beautiful shade of purple, hopefully still are. I just brought some English ivy back from his home and plan on planting that in something containable because would not put outside to run. Also, get this, I will have flowers galore when I finish. I am going to get some of his purple iris when they lose their bloom (which is July or the next 2 months) but I have places to put those out at my home. Just wish I could bring 1 of his big ole magnolia trees home. By the way south Georgia but do not know my zone- have seen on a planting map before but just not sure right now. My hydrangea, by the way, has bloomed big at the bottom of the plant but last years limbs are just dead- is this what they normally do? I really babied this plant, put covers over it when had some early frost so have really tried with it.
Probably Doesn't have animals or a clue
You'd think somebody that doesn't have them would at least know they do have nerve endings and can feel pain and suffering. I cannot get over the selfishness of this person. Makes me ashamed to be a member of the human race, and hopefully a day will come someone who does something this unconscionable will be able to be charged with leaving the scene of an accident. The courts are moving closer and closer to protecting animals in situations like this.
And to whoever said not to call the humane society, for God's sake, WHY? Why NOT call somebody who would help?
No clue but my DH does this sort of stuff too - sm
though he does not help with any school projects, I do all that stuff. But he will grill them relentlessly over something that is either really stoopid or totally irrelevant and get them crying, etc. generally shortly before bedtime, and unless I totally prove him wrong he does not apologize to them. I just tell him to back off and leave them alone, it does take a while for him to actually do this though. Though he has been improving lately, maybe because I keep drilling into him that he is going to lose what communication he has with the girls in a few years (they are 7 and 9) if he does not knock it off. You might want to stress that your girls will soon be tuning him out on a permanent basis if he does not stop and stop now. If he needs to schedule in time to help them with something then maybe keep an appt. calendar on the fridge and have them write down their project due dates (in big red letters) and have him write what day/time he can help them and then keep to it. This may help him with his own organization and if he weasles out of helping, make a note of it too on the calendar (and "reschedule" the appt as well) so later he can't say, well you never asked me for help, etc. He should not be waking them up, they need their rest and and he can wait until morning to make himself feel better. Why are men such total jerkks at times? Genetics?
I don't have a clue how much my brother owes
for his children, but at this point he will never catch up. My parents (who are defintely able to do this) payed my ex-SIL instead. My brother just says they are just giving them his inheritance. My parents bypassed him in their wills long ago and set up trust funds for his children. This is while he was still married. As soon as he finally got a job his ex let it be known and money is witheld from every paycheck. At least he is trying a little now and things are starting to look up, but.... I really hate it for all of those who don't have anyone else to step in and help and I really admire the ones that do it all on their own.
You don't have clue what passive-aggressive even means...
although I feel certain you should know what nutjob means. I should have known you can't talk to someone who uses words like "ur" and "u" rather than taking the time to use words. How old are you? 12? Cya. I am going where I can have conversations with adults or at least mature 12-year-olds.
No, NIck has not appeared, no clue what will happen there. sm
Jill is planning to go with Jimin (sp) on his trip, Catherine is totally against it, she does not trust Jimin since he is associated with Jack's business. Victoria and Brad have made amends, vowing to never cheat on each other again. Sharon is questioning Jack's integrity and his trust of her. JT was missing his PDA and found it at Crimson Lights only after Kevin had retieved information from it for Colleen (she thinks he exposed her relationship with Corbel), not sure what he got though. That's all I remember.
Do you know that Y&R comes on at 10/11 p.m. on Soapnet? Until last week you could have seen it at 5/6 p.m. as well, but they hae changed the TV schedule...
Person sending email to me has no clue
I got an email saying I never loved my brother and I should share what my father gave me with my SIL. I do not owe her 1 red cent. When my brother died in the early 70s she got a settlement then of between $350,000 and $400,000. Do you realize how much money that was then? My mother tried really hard to have the courts set up some kind of guardenship for their 2 minor children (her son's children) so they would have something to live on in later years. Being as my mother was only the grandmother, the courts would not allow this. The money gotten in the settlement was literally squandered. Just for the record, the 3 g'children she spoke of the other day included 2 of her's and 1 being mine. The really bottom line on this was the g'children would have never been able to keep the property because between the 3 of them they basically did not have 1 nickel to rub amongst them. I was paying and had paid prior to my father's death the insurance on the property and the property taxes also. The 3 g'children could not have done it. It takes a lot to keep a property up. My aunt told me is that is water under the bridge, a done deal. Before emailing you should have your facts straight.
They resent anybody on aid, especially food stamps, and have no clue what it takes to get them.

In a church
with a full catholic mass and I guess what you'd call a traditional receptionist.
In a church...sm
The same church where I was baptized and confirmed and where my kids were baptized and confirmed.
church school
Well, I didn't say the ONLY place to find teachers who care is at a church school, and I certainly don't believe that. I do think your chances of finding them in a church school are a whole lot higher, however. I didn't intend to create a religious argument either. I was genuinely interested in why you would not want your children in a church school.
UPDATE. Mom is at the church
I guess she heard me. LOL.
Get ready for the next battle over the baby. I would love to raise that baby myself. She is adorable.
You could always go through the motions and go to church
to please him. I do that with my family. I respect my family's religion, but I just don't believe in organized religion. If it is only important for him to have you in church and you don't mind, you can always try that. If his issue is that you have faith enough to be a Catholic, that will be a tough road.
Are you looking to hook up with your church guy?
If you REALLY want to leave, do it while he's at work. Call the police and have them assist you.
Yes, definitely!! Call him Church. (nm)

lol - you are 2 much, church lady!
LMAO
We grew up going to the same church
until we were about 11 or so. He moved and I didn't see him again until my senior year of school when he moved back into our home town. He looked me up and we started dating. We got married when I graduated high school and we will have been married for 36 years in June of this year. I was 19 and he was 21.
I live near this church
and heard on local news the pastor himself is having difficulty with it, whatever that means!
church is a coverup for sm
many of these guys. It still doesn't change the fact that he can and will hurt you! You haven't read about "church people" and pastors beating their wives or murdering their wives? What are you waiting for? My opinion? You do not want out. you say you wnat help but then don't listen. That is why you are in the situation you are in. What do you care what people at church say or if they are for him or you? IT DOES NOT MATTER! GET OUT AND WORRY ABOUT IT LATER!
if you ask a church for help they ask if you are a member
but limit funds to help the needy
At the church I used to attend --
they instituted a "reform program," whereby the associate pastor and elder members of the church agreed to take in single men who were recently paroled. They dressed up and brought them to church every week. They were introduced when they first came, but nothing was mentioned about their "crime life", etc.
My point is, to the newer church goers, these men seemed like perfectly respectable church-going men, all the while they weren't. Please keep this in mind.
I met my husband at church when sm
I was 16 years old and married at 18. I am now 54 and will be married 36 years in July!
