OK, you read our last post and said,"Yes, I have a controlling pastor." "I need to show him the error of his ways. I'll meet with him and just have a little chat." NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND. Before you go off to commit spiritual suicide please read the following article. Whether you decide to attack the situation head on or flee for your life this article gives some good points to consider.

Wow. This paragraph sounds just like someone I have run into lately. "Controlling pastors are also usually ready for confrontations with full guns loaded. They see questioning and correction as a challenge to their so-called autonomous authority which they are determined to protect. They typically use fear, manipulation, threats, etc. to try to convince you that you are wrong and they are right. They will probably tell you that they have “heard it all before”. They will likely marginalize you, minimize your concerns and make you feel like a rebel, like an unfaithful dime-a-dozen type member that they have “dealt with before”."
