Communications Committee Meeting at 8:00 Sunday

The Communications Committee is meeting again this Sunday, December 3rd, at 8:00 a.m. in the first room on the right down the hallway next to the ERC. Last week there were over 100 people in attendance. We can do much better than that! If you have questions or just want to gain information, please be there! If each person who was there last week would invite just 5 people, we could have over 500 in attendance. Please make plans now to be there. If a teaching position or other obligation keeps you from being there at 8:00, please drop in whenever you can any time between 8:00 and 9:30.

Chaps you a little bit that communication here is out of your control doesn't it...

Would you support the statement that you would rather be "flogged than blogged"?

If so, I call it blasphemy to say that your suffering is in the same league with Christ's. jmo

You were nice enough to help “Tim and others” with their spelling in your 2:09 P.M. post, so allow me to help you with yours. Here are some of your mistakes in this thread:

1. You spelled the word "hearsay" as “hearsays.”
2. Twice you should have spelled "canceling" as "cancelling."
3. In two different posts you have spelled “apologizing” as "apoligizing."
4. You have spelled “occasional” as “occassional."
5. You spelled “receiving” as “recieving.” Remember: “I after E except after C?”
6. Don’t forget that the word “Scripture” is spelled with a capital “S”, and when you speak of the Lord using a personal pronoun, use a capital “H” when you spell “Him.”
7. When you spell “don’t”, don’t forget the apostrophe. You spelled it “dont”, a rookie mistake, but maybe these rules and others don't apply to you?

Just a couple of thoughts ...

1) Could "pastor" be Martha Wagley of FUMC? (And as an aside -- why should "pastor" be bullied with these continual insistences that he/she reveal his/her identity? Practically everyone else on this blog is allowed to remain anonymous, no matter what they say.)

2) Did Bro. Derrick perhaps stop posting on this blog because the leadership of our church asked in writing that ALL church members stop, and he is simply submitting to the authorities over him?

(And although I don't agree with everything "pastor" says -- I do agree that spellcheck could be sooooo useful to a lot of us!)

Tim said...

folks,

did you see that "pastor" spoke of accountability. There is no way that it is Steve Gaines, he is far above needing to be accountable to anyone, even God.

This is not Steve Gaines. Steve Gaines would not be able to control himself from bragging about it if he were.

Hello Ps. 43:3... The exchanges yesterday from 4-5 pm and those today have been incredible...

Repost
To "Pastor":
You need to clarify whether you are Pastor Gaines or not! If you are, then we will know who to attribute this "Prophecy" to if it comes to pass. If it doesn't come to pass then we will know who the false prophet is!! There is a warning for false prophets in Deut. 18.

Pastor said (at 4 pm Fri/12-1):

"You are a rock star. You are enjoying the attention you are recieving, for the first time in your life you did something that created a cultic following.

Matt 12:36 you will answer to, for instigating this format, and the occassional careless words you write.

The world of blogging will watch, and examine themselves.

Here is the test of what I am saying is true, if this is just my imagination, non of this will come true in the near future, if this is of the Holy Spirit, take heed.

1. You will lose big time on an investment.
2. Your job will be in jeopardy
3. Family situations will arise
4. Severe health situation will arise

Beware. I would walk around in fear, and degrade or delete this post so you will feel better.

To the rest of you, watch NASS's life and take heed."

Nothing that has been brought up today is going to take away from what is going on in the leadership of our church.

LEADERS of CHRIST`S CHURCH are people who are suppose to help us live our lives the way the Lord has commanded us to. They are suppose to be LEAD us to greener pastures with every passing day.

If I follow my pastor I would be lead to:

Lie, be deceitful, intimidate others, manipulate others, pretend everything is ok when it is not, rebuke people who ask me questions, try to destroy people`s lives, hide from the truth, pressure people into doing what I want them to do, ect....

If I follow David Coombes I would buy alcoholic drinks for my friends and family who think it`s to drink and walk down to people like deacon Emerson for no good reason other than I want to.

If I follow Harry Smith, I will make sure that I cover tracks that make me look bad and give no real answers to anyone who has any concerns that don`t concern me, among other things.

More on this later.

I have chosen to follow HESUS and this is where I place my allegiance but there are these leaders who have been placed in my life that I thought were men of integrity. I have found they are not.

Pastor Gaines, step down from the pulpit and seek counseling for yourself.

Pastor Gaines, before you go make sure the David Commbes is not left in any leadership position.

Harry Smith, Please take a breather and left someone else have a chance to serve the church. If you can`t do that, please start answering the questions!

After all blogging is actually just a pastime or hobby isn’t it?

AND YOUR HOBBY IS TO THREATEN PEOPLE,AND HURT OTHERS BY EXPLOITING THEIR PERCIVED WEAKNESS' YOU ARE PATHETIC

Doesn’t cost any money, doesn’t require any commitment, there is no accountability, and we can blast people and they never know who said what.

YOU DO MORE THAN BLAST; YOU DELIBERATELY ATTEMPT TO HURT AND THREATEN PEOPLE WITH BODILY HARM

If there was serious church business trying to be accomplished, there would be a site created that is closed from the public, and only people with a password are allowed in, kind of like a private intranet. Each person would have to register with their real name, address, phone number and email, and all parties would know exactly who each other is, so accountability would be there.

IN THAT TYPE OF FORUM YOU WOULD BE UNABLE TO HURT,THREATEN AND BULLY PEOPLE SO IT WOULD BE SAFE TO ASSUME THAT YOU WOULD STAY AWAY .

I'm not afraid of pastor and he's not running me off. The only way he can hurt me is if he rolls up the BBC 1929 by-laws real tight and pokes me in the eye with them.

It won't be hard to figure out who he is - And when I do, rest assured he won't be able to hide.

There's nothing I've said on this blog that I'm ashamed of or wouldn't repeat my words to someone's face. I bet pastor can't say the same.

Pastor- In your 3:55 post when you said

"no need to say thanks, your welcome",

"your" should be spelled "you're." Your seminary professors would not be proud :-(

Anonymous said...

Psalm 43,

"You're" is a contraction of "you are." "Your" is a modifier. Very simple. Do not use "you're" to modify nouns. "Your keys." "Your desk." Do not use "your" as a second-person verb phrase. "You're up early." "You're leaving?" Here's a phrase with both: "You're moving your car, right?" In other words, you are moving the car that belongs to you. "You're" = verb phrase. "Your" = adjective.

By the way, my seminary professors are very proud of me.

Hope this helps.

If your SG you have more than offended a few on a blog.

If you are not SG, you have offended anyone who loves Christ on this blog.

AND

You have offended God himself.

Don`t ever think that just saying your sorry is true repentance.

It is only one itty bitty step towards repentance and reconciliation with Karen and the church (if this applies to you) and to the bloggers on who you offended.

If you ever said you were not SG I just didn`t see the post but if you didn`t make it clear, I think you may be harming SG by using the blog name PASTOR in a round about way.

You cannot be so ignorant to think that you spell "You're welcome" as "your welcome!" It makes me think that you are not an adult for two reasons:

if you are an adult, go back to school.

If you are a seminary student, it is apparent that you have wasted your time studying.

Read this and be blessed.

Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law.” Psalm 119:18

Have you ever thought you could just go to the Bible and pull some truth out of it for your life? Let me tell you friend, you cannot do that. That is, your mind will never comprehend the things of God apart from the Holy Spirit illuminating you. If you want to understand God’s Word, you must lay your intellect in the dust, and with open arms and a heart of faith, approach God’s Word for wisdom, discernment, and knowledge, then He will teach you. It took a supernatural miracle to write the Word of God. It takes a supernatural miracle for you to understand it. When God begins to write His Word upon your heart, you are going to lead a supernatural life!

Pray Psalm 119:18 to God today (see above). Expectantly await His answer with an open Bible in front of you. Then, share what He shows you with someone.

I have had great concerns about the church and have been reading the blogs and web sites for some time now. The alcohol issue seems to resurface again and again and just when I think it is gone, it comes back.

Why is it such a problem? I understand the churches stand on alcohol but could someone please direct me to scripture which forbids consumption or being in the same place where consumption might take place?

And so what if Karen was at a party where alcoholic drinks were being served? As Christians we have to live in this world. We are simply commanded not to be of this world.

To all who still think Steve Gains is posting as 'pastor' I ask you to consider the amount of time 'pastor' spends posting. If SG is who you think he is, he would be too busy wrecking havoc, preaching revivals, working as a travel agent, managing his minions, and covering his tracks.

Just my thoughts.

"pastor" just started yesterday @ 4 pm with his venom... His first post was dripping with anger, pride, hurt, etc... He has some knowledge of Greek and "hermeneutics"... He had some way to access Karen's past... "pastor" is condescending, sarcastic, and obviously considers themself to be more intelligent and more spiritual than those posting here... They know many scriptures by heart that they connect ot this situation... They try to protect the CC... They stick their foot in their mouth and then try to wash it out with soap... They threaten, intimidate, and leave false prophecies here...

If you were shown every credit card statement, some would say there is another credit card not shown.

I recently went overseas and the pastors consider it a good day, if they only received a broken arm and not killed. You poor people, you have been so mistreated and insulted, life is so difficult for you.

Bottom line, you will have no effect on BBC, the more you gossip the more your fellow church members will turn on you.

Someone insulted the other 6900 members who stood and applauded, called them stupid sheep that can't see the crimes being committed. You are not reformers, nor are a guide for the blind. Your words reveal more than you can see.

Karen, did you tell them about the Christmas party you were at a few years ago, concerning the alcohol issue?

Many of you are so negative, when I wrote “Watch NASS’s life and take heed”, did you not consider the opposite could happen if NASS is truly walking in the spirit, and following the Holy Spirit directives, the following could happen,
1. Enormous gain in an investment
2. New Job Opportunities
3. Sickness healed or avoided
4. Family issues resolved

Again, I wrote that on purpose so your true colors would become evident, and show the world how you view everything from a negative perspective, and you took the bait.

The alcohol issue is great that you are debating, what this minister did. You have completely and openly, to your shame, disobeyed 1 Tim 5:19. Again, the wave of pity is turning against you. As you continue, it will be a downward spiral. There will be many more instances provided to you to speculate on and show your blatant disregard for 1Tim 5:19.

Hypocrites, you are concerned about the alcohol issue and disobeyed scripture, what about causing the little ones to stumble over gossip. No one has yet given a definition of gossip, would probably be too obvious.

Let's see what is in store tomorrow.

We have a meeting with the communication committee. I am really looking forward to that. We will know after this meeting if any one on the CC is interested in truth.

The deacon body is supposed to have a meeting. If they are open and honest they may actually learn something and might decide that they need to reconsider their stance to protect Steve Gaines at all cost. They need to determine to protect Bellevue at all cost, even if that means releasing Steve Gaines.

We will get to hear a message on "forgiveness" from Steve Gaines. Remember not to shoot the messagener that manages to bungle the message. He may be out at the moment trying to stop the press to change his sermon topic. I urge everyone to search the Scripture when you hear this message to see if what the Scripture says and what he says are in agreement. Sometimes I have to wonder if some of the theology came off the back of a cereal box. Of course, when your sermons are written by first year seminary kids and then re-written to become a self-serving rendition of sermon, what do you expect?

Tomorrow night we are to get an announcement, presumably on church governance. This should be welcome news but it is my suspicion that there will be an attempt for those in power to solidify their position.

I will be surprised if the roof stays on at Bellevue tomorrow to be honest with you.

If I can add my 2 cents worth.

I don't see any reason to suspect that 'pastor' is Pastor Gaines. Just the opposite. Knowledge of Bible languages and study techniques in no way suggest that this person is the pastor of our church.

I strongly suspect that 'pastor' is a group of students trying to stir things up. My advice is to forget about it and concentrate on other things.

You cannot be so ignorant to think that you spell "You're welcome" as "your welcome!" It makes me think that you are not an adult for two reasons:

So we are now debating "your" vs. "you're" on this forum? That's just great.

Are you an adult? You see, the reason I'm asking this is because you said in the same post: "if you are an adult, go back to school."

Don't you know that you should capitalize the first word in a sentence? If you are an adult, please go back to school yourself. Or at least brush up on your rules of capitalization so you don't make another childish mistake like this.
