Getting people to stand up to a pastor, I'm my experience, is a waste of time.

Is the shepherd not responsible for his flock?
The lord helps those who help themselves?

Not recognizing that a group of Christians is a target for multiple groups on top of the regular dangers (domestic situations) is foolish. Did Peter not draw his sword to protect Jesus.

Would that then be called a "Come to Jesus meeting"????

:roll:

Maybe a, "Got Darned it. Listen to us" type of meeting?
