Some pastors will not allow others to speak, even after the service.

This reminds me of the pastor that told his flock that we were not in the end times.

They had a church party on Halloween night in 2017. The following Sunday, one of their guests returned to kill the congregation. The pastor's daughter was also killed. It was the worst mass shooting in Texas history with 26 dead and 22 wounded.

It is my opinion that believers in the Lord Jesus Christ should have nothing to do with pagan holidays, even if they rename Halloween to "Fall Fest".

And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. Revelation 18:4 KJV

We should come out of the religious traditions of men which have nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus.

I wonder if the pastor now believes we are in the end times.

But then the government announced a payment of $144.5 million to survivors. The pastor retired around the time the payment was announced. Worldly wealth tends to lead people into a spiritual sleep.
