Judyt:The 'wolf' is inside the church. The 'wolf'
preaches, teaches, writes books, appears on TV 'shows' (hosted occasionally by
other 'wolves').....

to voices of the past?
I agree Izzy and this is what
is so troubling to me. The pastor had not dealt at all with the conman
who is still in leadership as I write but he did talk to our son-in-law about
examining his own motives. I do see your point about his culpability.
At the start of the "business" venture my husband asked him if he was
sure this was the way to go and his reply was that he thought it was because
his partner was a "godly" man. His partner didn't lose money on stocks
or anything like that; he mishandled it, paying himself $8,000 per month
before the business got off the ground and taking out a line of business
credit on the quiet. Thanks for sharing how God used similar circumstances in your
life, I hope our son-in-law will be able to regroup without
becoming embittered over this. Noone keeping the wolf away from the
door at that Church. jt

Jt, it sounds like it�s time for the pastor to take
the Amway-kinda-guy out to dinner and give him a printout of scriptures on
repentance. Also, I�m afraid your son shares some of the culpability.
I got �ripped off� like that once myself. The lesson I learned
from it was worth every dollar I lost.

jt:
Paul dealt with the man having an affair with his father's wife. Peter dealt
with Annanias and Sapphira for lying about money. Paul wrote to Timothy
telling him to deal with those who sinned before all so that they would learn
to fear. Our son-in-law has been conned and scammed out of tens of
thousands of dollars by a person in Church leadership who has done the same
thing to two other families and this person declared bankruptcy last week
so the money is probably gone for good but the problem is still leading
singing and teaching in the Church. This must be a stench in God's
nostrils just like perverted priests in the RCC. These things ought
not to be. The pastor takes our son-in-law out to dinner and gives him
printouts of scripture to look at and meditate on.

how
would you have handled something like this in your Church? They talk
about business and Church matters having to be separate etc. but our
son-in-law never would have met this person or gone into business with him had
he not been at this particular Church and made such a good
showing after the flesh. His outward appearance is perfection, clean
and pressed, brand name clothes, drives an Expedition; but he has
an Amway mindset and the big break is always on the way - in the
meantime he rips off God's people. Is Church discipline the answer to
this?
