"As a member"...

"As someone who knows Don"...

BLAH BLAH BLAH...


A church, ESPECIALLY a mega church is a business. The pastors are highly paid, and very wealthy individuals who prey on the weak, make them feel welcome and give them something (volunteer) to do to make them feel like they're helping others the way they were helped. It's actually the largest network marketing plan that is hidden and very well camouflage. Open your eye people. I challenge someone to follow Don home and see his house.

You guys are brain washed and are absolutely pathetic.

Pastor Don is a good man and a wonderful Christian. You sir are coming across as not a victim, but a whiney baby. I am sorry you feel this way...but you are the reason people don't become Christians...with your hipocrisy and highly one-sided attempt to destroy someone's name...and a place of worship's name for that matter. You honestly should be ashamed. - Caleb Clausing (CCV Member)

Calling someone a freak is not very Christian like R Lucas, it's only antagonizing and adding fuel to the fire and could hurt your biz as well...unfortunately, there are many "weekend warriors" and 2 faced ppl in this world, no matter if they attend church or not... best thing to do is pray for all involved, because in the end, its the Lord who will decide the fate and dole out the punishment.

First what does the CCV free website for attendees have to do with the pastor or any other worker there? The CCV site has a place for a local business to advertise for free. If you have a bad experience why blame the church. Do you think they screen each and every business? Should they take your word for the story over his. Is this even relevant? I think you sound like a freak and I would have ignored you also. Sounds to me like more is at stake then just getting a bad attorney this no name guy sounds mentally unstable and just wants to bad mouth a large church for some reason. I don’t believe him nor care about his problem. I do wander just what he had to go to court for... sounds like maybe he is the dishonest one.

I read this and it literally makes me sick to my stomach this persons views and feelings towards CCV, Don, and the rest of the staff. After searching for 2 years I was invited to CCV, and have been attending regularly since. This person needs counselling as well. I've spoken with Don on many occasions, met and talked with others on the staff, and have nothing but high regards for the church and their key core beliefs. I'm a PK (preachers kid), my dad is now medically disabled and can no longer preach or pastor (they are different things). Knowing what I know about things going on behind the scenes, and the size of that church let me add my thoughts. Pastor Don is a man seeking God's heart. He probably receives hundreds, if not thousands, of emails and letters a week. His staff probably reads through them and knows where to direct each and every one of them. Don doesn't have the time because of all the things God is leading him to do. The email that was sent by this individual was probably handled by a staff member who may have even tried to help. Or at least clarify that the church is not responsible for what is posted on their classifieds listings. They cannot intervene in every situation where there is a perceived wrong-doing, as they would be not be going about God's work. This individual also reminds me of a friend of my father's, who believes my dad is responsible for fixing everything wrong in her life. And I mean everything that she has done or someone she perceives has slighted her in any way. Unfortunately as a human he can't nor should he, likewise as a pastor he can pray for her, but at a point she has to take resposibility for her own life. I believe the individual who wrote this email should do the same, pray for help and guidance, and stop blaming others for things they have no control over. God will deal with all involved in this situation, let justice AND glory be His and His alone.
