Church Pirates?
Ed young rants about how people are stealing his sheep. He calls them "church pirates" who set up shop in a church in order to steal sheep. This attitude is commonplace in the American church leadership scene. I say it is petty and ridiculous. Hearing is believing. Ed Young rants click on church planting video

wow, this guy is taking someting rather personal, isnt he? And then there is the whole "let's run the bride of Christ the way we run our businesses(which are bound by mammon, by the way)" perspective. Of course, more than anything i remember his comment "I dont beleive in moving the sheep" (or something to that effect). The sheep are not supposed to "church-hop", no, but they are supposed to be sent out. Ask any shepherd, if the sheep stay in one pasture for too long, it will become barren and polluted by their waste. If our "pastors" dont beleive in moving the sheep onward towards the mountain, no wonder they are leaving on their own accord!
For a rather ironic take on Ed's rant, check out this blog: http://branthansen.typepad.com/letters_from_kamp_krusty/2008/06/i-hate-pirates-too.html
I'll try and post the blog post described here.
