@ministryworker Thank you for your reply. I agree its not my best work. If there was a delete button available on here I may have used it
It is disheartening to read the stories and not be compelled to want to take action to stop the abuse that continues at brooklyn tab. I agree with you and no it wasn’t my intention to make a statement on race and the pastoral staff. black, white, spanish, asian, its not a ‘racial thing’ for me. I do feel like like they are making decisions without first counting the cost AS A PASTOR. I believe they think they are doing God’s work by defending PJC and the institution. If the shepherd leaves the 99 to rescue the 1, these pastors are protecting THEIR 1 while he is abusing people! I think one day they will look back and remember what happened to them and the congregation they were supposed to be protecting. I pray for that anyhow.
I saw the sermon today that PJC preached. He made assumptions and thinly veiled insults that everyone that writes on this forum or social media doesn’t read or know their Word. He exhorted that because he is in his Word that makes him a more loving Christian. His behavior is sooo loving. In fact, if he knows his Word so well and does the things that he has done, then I worry for his soul. If he was the same PJC as he was in that sermon, then the REAL FRUIT that you are seeing on this forum WOULD NOT exist. There wouldn’t even be a forum. But his abuse (spiritual, sexual and otherwise) is hiding behind his public humility. Good CHRISTIAN people who are exasperated at the behavior OFF-PLATFORM are now willing speak up and say that the emperor has no clothes on. No pun intended. People are tired of the duplicitous religiosity.
