"Them that sin before all, rebuke before all." Expose the sin and be clear of it and don't muddy the waters by having a vague admission of some of the allegations without specifying what allegations are true, etc. Come clean and repent. <BR/><BR/>I guess it is hard to answer this question in a vaccuum, especially since I have asked it within a certain context. My question, however, that I am hoping to get feedback from is not about this particular case as much as it is the about what to do in the case where there really is a false accusation - which you have also answered. <BR/><BR/>I was hoping to get a little more "back and forth" here to see what both views would give as to why a particular decision about they way to handle this is best, but so far I have not got any of the "and forth." (:)). Maybe that is because no one thinks that a "adminitrative leave" or "temporary resignation" while the charges are investigated is the right move. <BR/><BR/>I have some additional thoughts, but it is 2:14 a.m. and I must return to bed. <BR/><BR/>Thanks, Don, for your input.<BR/><BR/>In Christ,<BR/><BR/>Frank SansoneFrank Sansonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09827320724505906703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17582952.post-1162621418954166312006-11-04T01:23:00.000-05:002006-11-04T01:23:00.000-05:00Wow, more stuff coming out today.

If you aren't guilty, don't resign.<BR/><BR/>If you are guilty, full confession and ignore the painful consequences would be the way to go.

If there is no truth to it, there is no reason to step down.<BR/><BR/>The NAE resignation is fine. It is not a church, it is a national organization, and it is a very temporary office. It just makes sense to get out of that and let them get on with their business.<BR/><BR/>The local church situation is where the spiritual examination should take place and appears to be taking place. Fox News is reporting some comments put out by the acting pastor (apparently to the church people) admitting some unspecified guilt. Dumb move. What should have been said is that the matter is under investigation, and leave it at that. When the time comes, the church will be informed, there is no point in stirring up speculation (any more than it already is).<BR/><BR/>FWIW<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Don Johnson<BR/>Jer 33.3Don Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03332212749734904541noreply@blogger.com
