Do you think maybe that the reason you overstep and try to do things for your church without permission as you do and as you have done in the past, is because you’re wanting the attention of the pastor? Is he a single pastor? Are you attracted to him? Just a thought.

Not particularly seeking attention, just trying to help. He's married but I don't know what the state of that is. Mrs. Pastor hasn't been to church in months. And I certainly am not attracted to him in a romantic sense.
 

Just trying to help??
You've been posting all sorts of stuff in cyberspace without the pastor's permission for 7 years. Notice the date on this thread 2016. And now the same type of thread today 2023. Seriously? He has asked you nicely to stop and you continue..that's harassment. Cyberspace can be overwhelming as you well know so just stop or find a new church. God is watching.
 
Yes, I thought Deb had just invited people to the "open house" from her own personal Facebook page, creating a church website is a different thing and really should be controlled by the pastor or someone he assigned to the job.

I think you have said once that this is an unaffiliated Baptist congregation? Scary if you ask me. Is your Pastor ordained? I think about the church in Syracuse where the teenage boy was murdered and his brother beaten.

Seems to me everyone and their brother declares themselves to be an "Independent Baptist" and then starts disbursing the Gospel according to their own mind. Many of them bordering on cultishness.

I share Robusta's concerns about independent pastors who may or may not be ordained and interpret the Bible in their own, sometimes confused, way. Don't know if that applies to this man or not.

Describing church activities as 'private' seems strange. He's making it sound like a 'members' only club' that outsiders shouldn't know about.
However, taking it upon yourself to create a web site without discussing it first is fraught with danger. I suppose if it was your site in which you spoke about your church activities, that would be different although you still have to be careful of privacy issues.

As they say, Hell is paved with good intentions.

Cliquey church membership by the sounds of it ....
 
I guess it stems form being in charge of the publicity for the community-wide garage sale. I always assume the more publicity, the better, but it seems that doesn't apply in some situations,
 
Deb, is it true you have a hard time admitting you might be wrong? Not saying you are; you just "stubbornly" persist at the same attitude despite other POVs; like you give no quarter at all.

Of course. Why would anyone think otherwise? Think some soul searching is needed.

But it’s not your assumption to make.
If he asked you 7 years ago not to do this and hadn’t said otherwise, you should assume he still doesn’t want you to do it.
Maybe you could sent or leave an apology card or note for him. It might help clear the air some. Admitting your wrong comes from strength and integrity. Strong noble characters. Just sayin.’

Your pastor might be under a lot of stress, perhaps let him lead for awhile.
 
I can understand why the pastor would not want you to create a website for his church. That could be misconstrued that it was an official outlet of the church. Dealing with the "public" is difficult. What you say is not always what they read. If parishioners are, on their own, posting things, the pastor will be responsible for what is the "church Website".
