William--- With all due respect, you are a moderator with a delete key and power.
If this gets to your sensibilities, It's really not my fault for truth-telling as I cited the report relating to it. In addition I have told the personal experience of having a CR King personally recommend a Pastor who came to my church where I was Interim---and turned out to be a known womanizer from way back.
This is the schizophrenia of CR: If you are one of them, you obviously get to ignore personal rules of bahaviour and ethics the Bible clearly says is bad = "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!"
I have said enough--
but it is needed in my view--and I apologize if I have been offensive to you or others liking CR tactics. I have personally seen and read more than enough to keep my respect of CR to a minimum.
My own father suffered under the "grand mod/lib egos" that ran the SBC in the 40's. He made the "mistake" of graduating Andover-Newton when Southern contained the FBC preacher referral society when he returned to his native GA/SC roots. In addition there was a group at Mercer which covenented together to help one another rise in GA SBC circles. He didn't join because he believed that God was in the calling of Pastors. King makers are nothing new when any organization is formed---be it Masons / churches / politics / business / etc. "Organized" can = "Politicized hierarchy!"
