Actually, I do use the “megachurch pastor” descriptor on a regular basis. Recently, I’ve used that tag to describe both Joel Hunter of Orlando and John Connell of Savannah. I suspect I’ll keep on being consistent.

Good point from Michael. If I wanted to put down Volfan, I wouldn’t have fixed up his quote.

Peter didn’t corner me. He put words in my mouth. The comparison fits. If folks deem it below the belt, so be it. We’ll have to agree to disagree. Peter, you give good advice to yourself. Start listening. You earned your BS degree many many months ago.

With that I am,

Done.

I guess I’m supposed to come back now with a really sorrowful comment?

Again, Aaron, your lawyer sophistry is little more than B___S___ to any one with an ounce of street-smart: WHEN YOU’VE BEEN CORNERED, BE READY TO FLING A FIREQUACKER CAUSING A DIVERSION. IF YOU’RE LUCKY, THE STUPID CHAP WILL LOOK AWAY AND YOU CAN THEN MAKE YOUR MOVE.

Focusing on whether or not I was inappropriate toward Dwight means squat toward whether you were unfair toward David and David. Of course, you’ve quickly moved on now to another post. And so will I.

With that, I am…

It has been a long day in hospitals and funeral homes and visiting shut-ins.

You gave me the best laugh of the day when you called Vol a spy for the CBF.

Michael A. Jordan
Pastor of a small church in the hills of Virginia

That’s hitting Peter below the belt. You don’t have to do that.

David Worley is a liberal. I’m glad that’s finally out. He blasted NBC as part of his cover as a fundamentalist. He’s really an agent of the CBF.

Finally, you’re right…there ain’t nothing wrong with being small. However, now we expect every description of pastors in your blog to be followed by “pastor of a small/mid-size/large/mega church”.

After your buttermilk-gate, one would suspect that you’d have learned a lesson or two. Don’t put words in people’s mouths. Don’t read into a statement something that isn’t there.

I’m sure you could accuse me of doing the same a few weeks back.

Who knows? Maybe we’re both right.

Maybe I was implying something ungracious about the intolerant Volfan from the hills AND HOLLERS of Tennessee. Perhaps I am guilty as charged. And perhaps you were guilty of injecting racist imagery into a conversation between you and an African-American minister? Or perhaps nobody is guilty of any wrongdoing? As to intentionality, I took you at your word then.

But apparently you learned little from that experience. Otherwise, you wouldn’t take the time today to put words in my mouth.

Your lawyer sophistry, Aaron, only works on the uninitiated, street fool. Comparing “who pastors a small church in the hills of Tennessee” with the other descriptions of the ‘open’ hearted/minded is self-evident, Aaron.

And as for putting words in your mouth, you once again are wrong. Someone from the ‘hills of Tennessee’ is indigenous, in many respects, in identifying ‘hillbillies’, who, of course, are considered dumb. You now join our esteemed Wade Burlseson who, perhaps more than any other, seem to have a nasty habit of refering to Southerners as, shall we say, a quart low.

As for ‘hyprocrites’, you know darn well the root meaning of that word. It would be, how did you put it? A pretender.

I am with the program, my BDW. Fortunately for me, just not on your platform. Grace. With that, I am…
