How would you handle this?

I never have been a fan of Rick Warren and the other methods of bringing popular/trendy practices into the church, so I can relate to that. \n\nYou could try pointing out to them, as patiently as you can, that using things like PDC is walking a fine line in that it caters a bit too much to the winds of whatever's popular of the day when it should be a bit more Bible focused (note there are no books by Warren in the Bible :) ). Acts is a better guide to how to run a church, I would argue, than a Rick Warren book.\n\nOr you could find another church, as others have recommended. I don't know how well connected you are there, or what your history is at your church, but that may be a hard situation to salvage, at this point. I actually mentioned the possibility of going to a specific area seminary to people at a church I was attending (not yet a member) and they started telling me, basically, that I couldn't do that. So, I left and haven't been back to that church.\n\nAs to the teacher situation, all you can do really is tolerate it (unless there's someone you can go to above the teacher about it). You could try talking to the teacher about it, but ultimately, it may just be a situation where you would have to model Christian charity - which probably isn't a principle in PDC.

People have TRAINING as to how to handle this situation.  To share the "answers" here... would arm the BAD GUYS as to what you may do.\n\nSuffice it to say... when you in that situation... you must be "Kenny Rogers"... and know WHEN to hold 'em and when to FOLD EM... (a metaphor for... knowing when to COMPLY and when to resist)\n\nI HAVE been in such a situation... it's NOT pretty.  Obviously by this posting... I lived to tell about it.

WEll if someone is being attacked, I would wait till they stopped being attacked before coming to help - well that is if I know I will not be of much help ( I mean like someone is being shot and stuff) - but alot of it all depends upon the circumstances - I would probably call the police and stay nearby to relate what I saw when the police come..

Sounds like you could use a restraining order.

If you're not torn up about it, let it go. If you tell them "this person said you said this..." the situation may resolve itself.\n\n.

Clarify with them exactly what they need to be doing, what their limitations are and what the consequences are if they do not comply.\n\nFor anyone that cannot understand that you might think about terminating them and finding someone who WILL work well.
