NewThe thing that's irritating...

....is that the SBC had to devote staff and funds for attorneys to defend what is, IMO, a clearly frivolous lawsuit. 1 Timothy 3 makes clear that a lot of behaviors are not "private" for a Biblical pastor. Watching one's resources decline by the billable hour is painful.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
