What went wrong?

We can start with 'PCUSA' and work our way down from there.

I expect the pastors at PCUSA churches to violate their marriage vows, even in same sex marriages.

They preach a liberal morality and pretend to live a conservative one. The hypocrisy is not in fact that these liberal feel good pastors cheat on their spouses. The hypocrites are the ones who don’t.

This thread is useless w/o pictures of both the wife and the mistress.

In other words, guilt cannot yet be determined!

Most all megachurches are “Rock in Rool, Rockband Jesus who loves the puppies and childrens...”

They have forgoetten the times Jesus turned over the tables and kicked the corruption out of the temples, instead becomming money changers in their own right...

At best they are low rent pharisies...

At worst they are out and out money changers in frocks...

I grew up in the surrounding neighborhood and earned my Eagle Scout rank in Troop 101, which is sponsored by this church and meets in the Fellowship Hall.

Interesting that the pastor was black — the church is almost all white.

I had no idea Westminster was a “mega-church”. First Presbyterian Church downtown is where I used to go and it has had 4000+ members since I can remember.

According to the Christian Post Monday, megachurch, Westminster Presbyterian Church (This is a PCUSA church) in Greensboro, NC will be without a senior pastor because of his recent admittance to having an affair for the entire nine months he has been the pastor. “ Weaver apologized in a letter to the Salem Presbytery: I have violated my ordination vows and my wedding vows," the 33-year-old Weaver confessed in the letter, which was mailed to the congregation on Friday by the Salem Presbytery, the regional governing body for local Presbyterian (U.S.A.) churches. "I am sorry and I ask your forgiveness.”

IMO 33 years old is too young for a senior pastor.

Back during my easily influenced adolescence, our pastor ran off with my father’s secretary.

That episode schooled me to expect a lot less, from people including pastors.

It can be a lucrative career, for charismatic self-promoters.
