I've always wondered about the problems associated with popularity and pastoring. Jack Schaap, Eddie Long, Bob Coy, David Loveless, Isaac Hunter, Sam Hinn, Jack Hyles, Mark Driscoll, Rob Bell - all fell from grace due to their inability to control their ego when it was fueled by an adoring crowd. I know men who fell due to celebrity pastoring in a small church (less than 150 congregants), the assault to the human ego must be incredible in a megachurch. There's a reason why God stresses humility.
I've known for a long time that the teachings of the Jehovah's witnesses were heretical but until recently I didn't realize how dangerous they are. I've found several people, my sister included, wandering round with the strange notion that Jesus was just a man. She gained this "knowledge" and many other equally heretical beliefs from
Schnauzers are awesome.
