haha there are plenty of scandalous stories in churches

because guess what they attract sinners, the more you sin the more you need a saviour I suppose.

One lady told me at a methodist church there was a big punch up in the church carpark.
at a presy, the minister ran off with one of the secretaries, and the new minister confessed he had a gambling problem, although wether he was scamming money off the side I dont know but the church building never got any renovations...they sold of some of the church land and the money disppeared?

And the normal baptist churches also had gay couples that one turned lesbian and the other had an affair with the youth pastors wife. He also liked to cross dress, but that (gay) couple were in the worship team pretending to be straight....they had a baby together but ditched it all to break up another marriage that had four children....

at Quakers all the elders seemed to be gay and they perfomed gay marriages.

one pentecostal church got too crowded and didnt maintain their building properly the garage door to the church actually fell on the youth pastor and killed her. While people were worshipping.

I agree and don't wanna come across as condemning. My brother acually goes to a Mennonite church and one of my closest friends is a Mennonite. There are induviduals everywhere that are fakes; it's not limited to a certain group for sure. Just like there are sincere people in many groups.

I knew many very decent families in both of those camps. There were a couple popular preachers that were Independent Baptist who cheated on their wives, etc. who were shunned by the other churches. Fortunately, it isn't a denomination. They are autonomous/ independent from any governing fellowship, but it gave that evangelical movement a black eye. I always hated the misuse of that phrase from the Bible to cover gross sins by leadership. "Touch not mine anointed." Great verse, but wrong application.

I helped a Baptist church grow for a time, but stayed away from that drama of other assembly. Then I attended a different independent church in my area. It was evangelical.
There's a newer IBC/ NIFB who's couple pastors I post in some of the short messages. They exposed another NIFB pastor who was unfaithful to his wife and gambling. Their church asked him, the other pastor in the school video, to come as an outsider to mediate the transition and help the wife/ children. The church chose a qualified pastor to take his place. They made the distinction about the difference how some other baptist churches mishandled scandal in the past and the way it was going to be handled then. I respected that decision.

Gestation with humans is 9 months and normally breast feeding makes that next pregnancy wait a while longer.

People don't realize how healthy it is for the mother who breastfeed. One of those advantages is that it allows them to return to their former shape and weight more quickly.

Or course...all the milk has to go somewhere....

Twins can be a surprise too, well in the days before sonograms they were. Though God did tell Rebecca she was going to have twins.
