Re: Gideons

Oneida man, I do appreciate what they do with the hotels, jail ministry, and I have even seen them handing out copies of the New Testament on campus.

However, the statement that [ QUOTE ]

they are quite picky who joins..extremely high standards!!

[/ QUOTE ] is troubling to me. Could you please elaborate?

Well, I understand your veiw Marky...but not everyone is able to join just based on doing the work. They are looking at Integrety of the individual, why a pastor could not be a member rubs me the wrong way, I'll ask and get back to you why that is..

From what I have heard concerning the Pastor requirement is because of the requirements that these men have to go and speak in churches. They travel to all the area churches here, at least once a year and then they also do fill in work when pastors are out of town and such. I think that is why no pastors are taken.

Re: Gideons

Pastors are able to become members, however not under any denomination, this being that the Gideons go as Christians and do not promote any one denomination. Besides..most pastors have much more than they can handle now. Preacherman is right, the members do speak in churches as ambassadores for the organization, but must meet a very skilled speaking presentation first. A Christian can also go with gideon member to jail ministry as a guest and not be a member, to share a testimony.
