| Post subject: | Ernie Long: Reputation of churches |
| Didn't want to hi-jack Cojack's thread http://www.actscelerate.com/viewtopic.php?t=83862But it did make me think, does anybody really think about a church's reputation other than the people attending there or who has family or friends attending there?My guess is that unless you attend a church, no one outside that church knows anything about it unless someone who attends there starts talking good or bad about it, or someone who was looking for a handout and depending on the handout they did or didn't receive told others how they were treated. |

I stopped by to get some oil and the owner asked if I was the new Holiness pastor, and did I want a discount?Dad said he told him yes he was the new COG pastor, and the discount was up to the store owner.The store owner said the previous pastor had demanded a 'minister's'discount on everything he bought.Dad said he refused the discount, but if the store owner wanted to apply one on other purchases that would be fine, but said, I never ask for a discount. Later I had the same sort of experience at a lumber yard, but it concerned a pastor from another denomination that had soured the owner on preachers.
