[CS-FSLUG] OT: The Hidden Dangers of Peacemakers

[Marco Tedaldi]

Hello Timothy
Hello dear brothers and sisters

I can feel with you and would even understand if you had become bitter.

But be certain: It does not need a contract nor some fancy words. Where
there is might, there is abuse. I've had to live with this for years.
The curches here are networked. The people talk and "know" a lot about
others.

What I've learned from this? Don't try to point out mistakes by elders
or pastors. Live with it or leave the curch. This might sound bitter...
But I'm not bitter, I've just learned from experiences me and my Family
had made.

Even without written consent, there is a lot of power accumulated in the
"head" of a church. In many local churches around here, there is one
person who is the church leader, pastor and minister. So he knows a lot
about the people who confess the problems they have. He is standing in
front of the church and knows a lot about a lot of people and can use
this in his sermon. He has a lot of power, and power corrupts.

Go you way with god, and only with god. And watch your own step, and
find trustworthy people that correct you why you are in danger to loose
yourself.

God bless you all

Marco
