UNTO WHOM SHALL I SUBMIT?
Bob Neumann
Dear Jan,
THE ONE to whom i submit is my LORD and SAVIOUR. I figured that anyone on the WPA would have understood this. As for your question. So how do you teach a person to trust? It is like DISCERNMENT…you can not. But over time and situations you can EARN the TRUST of a person. And you can loose 25 years of working to earn TRUST in 10 seconds.
So where do you really want to go with this question, Jan?
Because i TRUST THE LORD JESUS i can accept “HIS CALL” on people. I do not have to sit down with NORMAN or LINDA an hour a week for the next 10 years in face to face “therapy” to TRUST them. What they say in their posts is REAL…Even if LITTLE SISTER LINDA still does not know why i “can not bet ‘my sox’ “…..
AND maybe we had better understand what LEADERSHIP really is. RELATIONSHIP is NOT “leadership”. You do not have to put up with all the abuse of “PREDATORS”. I know too many people, men and women who were “ABUSED” by the people who should have loved them. Men who abuser their wives and children never strike out at another man. Nor they expect another man to confront them and threaten them. Most believe that now that they are “big”/grown up…they won’t be abused.
So Jan…where do you “lead”…So you have this battered, limping, wounded remnant to lead.?????????????
To me “lead” means to walk ahead. Not to command…to dictate… to “use” others. Analogy….sled dogs…The lead dog can be male or female. There are always “alphas”. Older, wiser….not necessarily the fastest and strongest. The dogs in the team have learned to trust by experience, miles traveled.
Like i said JAN….i do not want to be a leader for anyone. Maybe you think i am lying about that.
TRUE LEADERSHIP always accepts RESPONSIBILITY….ACCOUNTABILITY. maybe we need a long hard discussion on parallel topics. Like COMMAND AUTHORITY….
Now i wanted to discuss what the OFFICES really are…and how they are supposed to work. To expose the LIES we all have had to deal with and see what should have been and whether it still could be.
You game?
