He's a Nomad. A Gypsy. He'll stay no longer than 3 years at any given church. He averages maybe 18 months per church he has been at. He's a good man, a decent preacher, pays his bills, but is not stable and is always available. He'll Pastor anywhere, anything and anyhow. Just give him a call.
Sir Harvey Heavyhand:
The Christian King. He doesn't want to be a Pastor; he wants to be the ruler of his own little kingdom. His church is his own little country, and he runs it with an iron fist. His department heads are the dukes and barons, and the Ushers are his Republican Guard. This dude even has people that will spy one on you and report back to him.
- All dating couples must have his permission!
- He must approve all major purchases!
- Job change? Check with him!
- Buying a house? Check with him.
- All educational decisions have to have his stamp of approval!
It isn't uncommon to hear 2 arguing members of his church threaten "I'll tell the Pastor on you". There were people that would stand in the basement of the church with a clipboard and write down the names of all women that came down the steps with improper skirts (dresses), ushers would use a board to spank unruly children in Sunday school. The church did not operate with love and joy, or with the leading and direction of God. In many cases it was Politics, fear, intimidation and favoritism.
These kind of people can cause a church to gain a bad reputation.
Harold Hound Dog:
This guy snoops around for all the dirt. He knows everything about every body. He knows who is dating whom. If there is sin in the church, he knows all about it. In fact, his favorite Pastor is Harvey Heaveyhand. Generally he is not a minister, but the chief Gossip. I met Harold once, not only was he a big gossip, but he prided him self in knowing all the dirt, and felt no remorse at being a "Snitch".
99% of the Pastor Cringe when he shows up, they know that he is there to tell all that he knows and or suspects.
He is not a ''gossip'' by the way, he simply is a concerned brother who wants to share the needs of his brothers and sisters.
His twin Sister Hannah can sit in one room and drink milk in the other without leaving her chair.
