I have been reading & watching comments escalate this past week and a half. I know there is a lot of hate in the world but this is TERRIBLE! NO-ONE, let me REPEAT myself, NO-ONE has the right to judge ANYONE except GOD! Do ANY of you, except Eric, Psych and Jeff hear yourselves or READ what you are saying?! REMEMBER, we ALL (( EVEN JESUS )) deserve our day in COURT (NOT a KANGAROO COURT). You were NOT there when ANY of this was SUPOSEDLY happing and neither was I. So what gives you all the right to JUDGE???? NO, I am not a member of Council but I AM a member of ZION. I LOVE this Church and it's people. My family and I try to do as much as we can WITH and FOR the church. The things you people are saying and stirring up is TERRIBLE! What kind of "CHRISTIANS" are you? OK, Dale was VERY controlling person and had a flawed personality but to accuse ALL these OTHER people of WRONG doing is only tearing the church FARTHER apart when we SHOULD be coming TOGETHER! Some facts; same council members for years? Yes BUT, have any of you who are complaining EVER tried to become a council member and change things? NO! All you have to do is NOMINATE someone in the proper procedure and they are on the ballot! It seems in ALL organiztions there are only a FEW who want to be in charge and they seem to get STUCK with the duties for years until they become IN-ELIGABLE after so many terms. It's not EASY getting people to serve. You ALL want to complain NOW but did you EVER do ANYTHING in the past to HELP out or try to FIX things? YOU should be ashamed of YOURSELVES for trying to tear the people of Zion even FURTHER apart! Yes, Mark and Chuck were GREAT Pastors and we were very SAD to see them leave but you don't tear your church apart for a person. The church is the PEOPLE not the Pastor! STOP trying to tear us apart and START banding together as a congregation so we can HEAL! In case you didn't NOTICE, we DO have a lot of NEW members on council this year and some of the old ones have stepped down. REMEMBER, Jesus said those of you WITHOUT any fault cast the first stone! Are ANY of you PERFECT? It was my belief that only GOD is! So don't try to cast people AWAY from Zion and divide us up! Help bring us ALL together and stop the fighting and ACCUSING or there won't be ANYONE left!!!!!!!!! Is that what GOD wants??? Be a Christion not a Judas!
