No not every pastor is like this. But I think many would love to be able to control their members a little more! Who wouldn't?
But it's not that easy. We are all human beings, meant to be free... free to make choices, free to be who we are.
For me, the burning question is (since I facilitate a very exciting online community): how can I be free without violating the freedom of another? That is, how can we function without bumping into each other in hurtful ways?
Ah, yes Grasshopper!
