You are not judgemental. A Good pastor MUST be judgemental - a good leader of ANY organization must take a stand. You waffle.
As an aside: what does that have to do with our conversation? If you wish to be treated with respect, treat others that way. There was no cause for you to insult me. If that is how you wish to converse, I'll just put you on ignore along with RSR and Yurt.
It doesn't have to do with our conversation - that's why it's call an aside. I'm asking "Do you feel okay-enough with your claimed faith and what you say here, that you'd be okay with your church hearing your words, verbatim?" Surely you cannot think THAT is an insult.
You're sounding like a baby now, manfrommaine, E5, retired, and "pastor". Sounding a little like most Democrats - when faced with hard questions, you ignore the cause of your stress.
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
