I would hope that "a good man" would not take this "job" for the money it offers. At least for Temple's sake, I hope that's the case.Originally Posted by rbhtech
Hmmmm.....are we being judgmental again?
Hmmmm...we seem to be blurring the line between judging and discerning. Furthermore, can you judge a fictitous person? As far as I know, they haven't replace Dr. Willets just yet.
Time is your friend. Impulse is your enemy. -John Bogle
david uth is an amazing man -- excellent preacher, aparently a fine leader, and has one of the best memories of anyone i have ever known. i met him ONCE when i sang (as part of a group of 25) at immanuel baptist in el dorado (where he was pastor before west monroe). five or six years later, he called to me by name when he saw me accross a sporting goods store in pecanland mall. i still can't believe the memory on that guy.
Apparently I was right on the other thread. Your reading comprehension is deplorable. Please tell me who I have judged, first in this thread, and secondly anywhere else. I would like examples please.
Not wasting my time for your benefit. I'm sure in your narrow-minded thoughts you actually think you're right, but that's okay, we all make mistakes.
Yeah, that's what I thought. Once again, you show your stupidity and now can't back it up.
Tech88, in Dirtydawg's defense, his quotation of "good people" was in reference to the previous post (#16). His statement was well-received from my end, as a Temple-going member, as I would hope that a person seeking the position of pastoral-ship would come to Temple because it was God's will, not for the money. As such, I felt nothing judgmental from his statements.
Now you two stop bickering.
Also, in Dr. Willets' defense, I would say that this forced resignation has the stamp of a long-term effect of the unfortunate death of his daughter and wife. Things like that can suck the life out of anyone, I don't care who you are. The man is capable, knowledgable, and has met with me on several occasions to discuss things on my own heart.
Also, what's past is past. Dr. Willets is no longer pastor, and that's that. Right decision or wrong decision, the church must continue to move forward and seek God's will, find the good in all of this, and progress no matter what the opposition.

you're right the past is past. and the past hasn't been that great to temple lately. i will continue to keep the church in my prayers as they try to move forward. ever since deciding to build that new building, things just haven't gone well for the direction of the church. hopefully, you guys can get a quality leader and some stability. i liked dr. willets and wished things would have worked out differently for him.

I don't know anything about Dr. Willets, but if he's still looking, our pastor from Istrouma Baptist left a couple of weeks ago. We are planning to have the search committee in place by the end of the month. Someone who knows him can contact him and tell him to contact Istrouma Baptist Church in Baton Rouge. It's a fairly large church.
heard yesterday that dr. willets has gotten remarried and is moving back home to oklahoma to be a pastor at a church in his home state.

Did he marry Kilpatrick?
They were engaged directly prior to him being forced to quit, but their engagement was not a factor in the decision made by the Deacons Committee (am aware of this via first hand information). So, I assume that yes, he did marry Ms. Melanie Kilpatrick.
At UBC here in BR we had a similar chain of events. George Haille, former Tech BB player and BSU director, served as our pastor for 30 years. Our next pastor came from seminary and returned to teaching after 3 years.
It is very common for the pastor or two following a long tenured pastor to be "unintentional interims". Following Keith's return to teaching (at Samford), we elected to go through a formal "intentional interim" process to deal with some issues, decide who we were and who we wanted to be, tried hard to make sure that is what God wanted us to be, and then did a search committee. It turned out to be a great thing for us. I have not heard of any issues at Temple, but the process has some great facilitators who can identify and help you celebrate what is good about your past and shake off the baggage that holds you back. lt was tough, and we lost some members in the process, but we are really a lot better off now.
All of my college girlfriends and wife attended Temple. I wish you the best in finding the next pastor.
