Presumably Warren's employees are doing to these congregants what they told the WSJ they normally do - call the pastor of whatever church these excommunicants wind up joining and advise him that they are troublemakers who should not be welcomed.

The true sign of a meglomaniac pastor (of which there are many). They ostracize members, not for blatant sin or an unwillingness to repent, but for voicing an opposing viewpoint. The pastor of the church we left wouldn't tolerate opposing viewpoints either. He condemned such from the pulpit as a "critical spirit;" not for disagreeing with the Bible or basic teachings of the church, but for having a different opinion from the pastor. In other words, fall in line with Pastor Uber Alles, or leave.

From the blog:

It's too bad that these "seeker friendly" churches are actually unfriendly to their own congregation for simply asking the spiritual leadership of the church to be doctrinally strong.

You shall know the truth and the truth will get you kicked out.

Maybe the Dems like to sing 'We are overcome!' these days.

And leave they should, the type of apostate gospel that is promoted in that church is dangerous and a sign of the times.

Apparently, the editors erred in correcting the title of Rick's book, which was originally named "The Pompous-Filled Life."

Wonder if Warren knows Obama attended Madrasa's (sp) until afterhis mother and second husband were divorced, only then did he go to Catholic School. Wonder how much Warren knows or understands about Islam and it's teachings.

It's not because of what you may think. They just need the extra pew space to fit Obama's EARS!!!!

I hope Saddleback members leave by the droves! This man has, indeed, proven himself to be a false prophet.

Members of the congregation at Saddleback Church, the church led by Rick Warren, are evidently being ushered right out of membership for voicing any concern over the idea of Barack Obama being allowed to speak at the church recently.

Not a terribly wise idea on Saddleback's behalf, but then again what is? Statistically, 2006 has already shown that Warren/PDL/Saddleback is a fad on it's way out. Sounds like 2007 is going to show even greater declines....

"... Purpose-Driven Life, a HarperCollins title, isn’t flying off the shelves at the rate it has in previous few years..."

"...Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., with bestselling author Rick Warren took a plunge down from number five to number thirty-nine. New membership gains in the past year dropped by nearly 1,500 people to 1,149."

Just a thought here; we are still on the internet. Can I see some actual proof that what is being asserted as having happened, actually happened (letter, member, etc. etc.)?

If Obama speaks at Saddleback Church and there is any political content, should the church not lose its tax exemption?
