Where do they get this from?

I always find it funny the things people hear about Ridge Stone. I’m not sure where these rumors get started but they make me laugh.

Some that I have heard:

We are a cult
We put the ATM in the movie theatre
I don’t use the bible ever
We hate Christians (this one might be a little true. )

Today we had a man come up to me after the service and he wanted a few minutes. He then told me how his dad pastors a very traditonal church in town and he told his dad he was visiting our church today.

His dad told him, “Why would you visit that church. That church is where all the “gays” in town go.”

WHAT?????????

Where do people get this information from? We do have a couple of homosexual couples that visit from time to time. We won’t let them join, we will not allow them to serve BUT we are glad they come because this is where they need to be.

The thing is I doubt anyone in the church knows these people are homosexual but me and a few others.

So how in the world another pastor hears this and how it showballs into we are the “gay” church in town is beyond me.

Gossip is a weird thing and it is amazing how quickly is spreads.

But at least they are talking about us.
