The staffer that was the hero of the whole thing, to my understanding, was first fired by JS directly. Then rehired when his role was discovered. Then 'laid off' in the first massive layoff. I don't want to name his name, but he was not Jack Mitchell, JS's personal assistant. He was the intern. And he alone had courage and cahunas. I have privately and personally thanked him as well as telling him I am sorry he was let go and as well as telling him I would give HIM a standing ovation.
I am waiting to embrace the new pastorate. I am holding back. I'd like to see Marshall, Douglass, and Lapina gone. (Torres too, while we are at it) But they are being embraced. Cannot fathom that.
The attitude of the new pastor, although he has never said as much, is that these are good men who do good works and none is blameless, no not one. So stop the finger pointing, go soulwinning, and do something for God like these men are.
