Some who don't Pastor, or once Pastored....

Falwell was right...those who can, DO!

Just because I can't hit a baseball doesn't mean I don't have the correct opinion that the Cubs still stink.

If you managed them or played for them you wouldn't make them better....you just have the gift of criticism.

Been there, done that, bought a tee shirt.

God bless those that do and God bless those of us that did.

And, you make a valid point.
I believe the climate among IFBs in the past, did cause/pressure many into ministry who were not meant to be in ministry.....mostly the stupid philosophy of Dr Hyles  when he said let the Presbyterians be doctors and lawyers. just plain dumb....and confusing to young impressionable kids.

I was speaking to the collective genui on the FFF who know exactly how to Pastor....how not to Pastor and offer advice to make sure it's done 'right'...but have never tried to do it themselves....or have tried and failed (in itself, no disgrace).


Sorry I missed you at Olive Garden.....maybe next time!

If I may digress, that just doesn't happen only in fundamentalist or Baptist circles. It's just as bad in other flavors.


Carry on

Could you define the job of being "Pastor"?

Just what exactly is it about your job that makes what you do so difficult for and beyond the capabilities of those who do not or have not "Pastored"?

I seem to remember that saying from the 60s "Those that can, do, those that can't, teach".

O well that's what I remember.

That's what I say about preachers.  They recycle their material so much it takes years to hear anything new.  I guess not having to come up with new material reduces the stress of having to work for 40 minutes a week.

Since this seems to be a catch all thread:

Why do pastors study and prepare for 3 lessons per week and get paid exponentially more than his hired teachers who study and prepare for 7 lessons per day, five days per week?

So you think a pastor only works when he is preaching? I'm sure you have never been a pastor.

I think you mean one lesson per week, screeched preached three times that week.  And if you have a really good screecher preacher, they only give that one lesson once (three times) per year.  If you have an especially lazy one, then probably a lot more per year.

I'm sure pastors have to spend 15 minutes or so reviewing the sermon notes from the previous year.

That is a big broad brush you paint with there.

I spend from 20 hours and up studying and preparing a sermon. I can't remember the last time I just pulled sermon notes from a previous sermon.  But then again that is only 1 aspect of a pastors job.
