Of course anyone around the COG for awhile knows the REAL implication of this, RR. And yep, it can cause a 'mell of a hess.' The history of this church is interesting. About a year ago the church asked the professional music director of 15 years to be willing to also become an assistant pastor and youth director. He was making 43K a year and was given the same perks of free housing, insurance, and paid utilities. He refused and chose to resign instead in order for the church to be able to search for someone who would/could serve in all those roles. ALL he was dong was music, understand. So, the lady who is now in charge understood from the start that she was an interim until the position could be filled. Suddenly it is an issue to make me the interim worship leader, allowing her to continue directing the choir so that I can have a few services to demonstrate to the church my leadership abilities. She says it is a slap in the face. So we must assume then that hiring anyne at all will also be viewed as a slap in the face? Sometimes, it is better to lose a few people because in the long run, more people will come in. She has a controlling Jezebell spirit and that is not right in any church. Sounds like the Pastor is afraid to put her in her place. That is one time that the scripture needs to be enforced, women keep silence in the church.LOL Sooner or later, the pastor will HAVE to put her in her place. He might as well do it now and get it over with. A spirit like that hinders a move of God and hinders sinners being touched by the Spirit. I agree. This woman's power has gone to her head. Her reign of manipulation and control needs to come to an end, and if 15 people leave, everyone would probably heave a huge sigh of relief. Time for the pastor to make a stand.This is a bit crude, but I think it was Rod Parsley who said, Every church needs a good bowel movement from time to time. More of Him...less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name
