Feel free to post on this thread and set the record straight.
BTW--the best way to determine of a "church got it's shit together" is its constitutional and corporate bylaws and financial disclosure documents. It's called accountability and transparency. This is objective evidence as opposed to anecdotal and subjective opinion.
Is there a board elected to fixed terms by the general membership by secret ballot? Is this mandated through the bylaws?
Is there annual and independently audited financial statement and budget that discloses in detail all salaries, expenses and compensation paid out from church funds?
Does a democratically elected board as described above determine the budget, salaries and compensation?
Can the board fire staff, for example a pastor?
These objective facts determine whether or not a church has meaningful accountability and transparency.
You really must pay attention to the rules you agree to. The rules for this message board are brief and can easily be read quickly and understood.
Take responsibility for your action rather than attempting to somehow shift the focus to someone else.
The Liquid Church thread is short and your posts will be read if you are concerned enough to follow through.
