Even worse are the names on the list that one of the elders wasn't even familiar with. Doesn't the synod have guidelines about these things?
You're missing the point, Scott. The membership roster is not kept updated and is in no way correct.
My membership was announced to the congregation as is proper procedure, yet we were never added to the roll....it's only been 2 years. How long should it take?
Oh! Well I think someone better get their act together and fix this thing.
I'll be mad and frustrated for you.

You know, if you speak up about it, they'll hand the job over to you to fix it all Sometimes it can be good to keep quiet

They've never been able to keep me under observation long enough to stamp me!Are you meaning "Certifiable" Rad?
The church I'm a member at was disorganized before the pastor left. They don't have much at all to get into, no commitees or womens groups. I've heard stuff out of people there I wish I hadn't, seen stuff I wish I hadn't. If anything goes on, I've always had to ask if I could help. No one ever come up to me and asked if I'd do something, only the Pastor and his mother in law, his wife did come up to me and asked me to take over the braille which surprised me, now they are gone. Also I've signed up for stuff and there's been a few times that I didn't get to help. The wall went up. It feels like you either fit in or you don't instead of everyone working for the glory of God. The church is still in the process of looking for a pastor still. I don't think any letters have been sent out. If they don't get a guest pastor, then the guy that went through that delto program, he's not the president now, someone else just got voted in, he'll give communion when there's no pastor. I just want to do so much for the Lord besides worship that I am still praying and waiting for an answer whether to stay or go somewhere else.This is but part of our situation with having a non-ordained pastor with no training or seminary education. See why I feel victimized by DELTO?
I actually have offered to help many times in many ways, but it is never followed up on or taken advantage of. Don't want to step on someone's toes who's been handling that for all these years.
No matter what else, a church must also operate the business aspects along basic administrative guidelines and it so apparent that this is not the case here. Again, when there is no one trained or properly educated to oversee things, they go undone or mismanaged.There is such disorganization that it makes me question how we are going to be able to function for much longer.
Who told?!?!
I met a buddy of mine's cousin years ago. His last name was something like "Fierce". He fit his name well. He was huge and had all these scars around his face and part of his side shot out from a shotgun blast. He looked like Frankenstein's monster. Plus he didn't have all his ducks in a row.Are you meaning "Certifiable" Rad?

He came to Bill's house one day and showed us a certificate that he had gotten from a Texas state mental institution. He said "Here----see------they say I'm not nuts". Bill and I said "Uh huh". What else can you say to "sasquatch" ?
