Don’t Be a Jerk for Jesus
So Scott scanned this and put this up.
I BATTLED with this guy today. Wasted my time. I know the rules. I know them.
NO AMOUNT OF TIME SHOULD BE WASTED TRYING TO DO BATTLE.
But I’m human and get pissed.
How do you guys handle this guy?
Los
RAIN IT DOWN
i throw holy water on him – knock him down and stuff bread and wine down his throat and tell him that his wife is fat and ugly.
that probably isn’t the best way of handling it – but it gets him to never come back again. thus, never having to deal with him again.
or – smiling and listen and say, “your opinion is valid and we will definitely take what you say into consideration” – then i walk away and laugh…
me and that dude have the same hairdo.
Not being in ministry allows me the luxury of very limited, if any, contact w/ that dude. I empathize w/ you, though. You’re on the front lines of having to battle the ‘Jerk for Jesus’.
I don’t know what to tell you, except that picture and your post title are both funny.
This guy is most likely single and simply needs a woman in his life. You need to “invite” him to that other church’s singles ministry. And then you need to “encourage” him to serve at that other church with the big singles ministry until he gets married.
Or maybe he just hasn’t found his ministry. Places he might serve well:
1. Middle school ministry… those kids will break him before he “tames” them
2. prison ministry
3. the mission field… a muslim country maybe
4. bulletin stuffer
5. he could be the guy that ejects parents that insist on not taking their noisy kids to childrens ministry
places not to put him:
1. greeter
2. sound man
3. worship leader
4. home fellowship leader
5. any kind of leader
6. church board deciding salaries
7. church board deciding music style
8. church board
9. usher
10. welcome commitee
Dude. That is me! Auch!
Disarm them with love bro, like Jesus did.
5. he could be the guy that ejects parents that insist on not taking their noisy kids to childrens ministry
There ya go. Two problems solved at once…lol.
Hey! I sit behind that guy when I’m not in the choir.
Sing louder. Ticks ‘em off every time. MUAHAHAHA.
I’m bad.
Ignore him. He is not worth my time. I thought that I would drop by and wish you a Happy New Year.
He needs a big watch in case someone asks him to pray and it is almost lunch time.
He must be new to the Jerk for Jesus Club… His bible is only 1/4″ the width of the true bible bashers… That thing leaves only a bruise.
This kind of demon can only be removed with prayer and fasting. And a good pot luck supper in the church basement!
Hey all you have to do is quote some passages from “The Message,” insist Bono is saved, and they’ll shrivel up into a tiny green globule,
