Should the Current Rector Fr. Tom Momberg Step Down?


Tuesday, April 13, 2010

"Must have hit a Nerve!" or as most would say "The Truth Hurts!"

It looks as though some supporters of the Rector have spoken out.  One who would not leave a name, and another that did.  Thank you both for your time and trouble, but this is a format to allow any one the time to have her or his voice heard.  So in the words of one of my small children "Sticks & Stones" you know the rest.  I have been called many things, but Satan!  Wow that is a stretch, even by God's standards.  So the question is, "Why are you so angry at me?"  The Rector is the one that is doing all the wrong things, and how do you know he and those that I have spoken of have not already had the communications and nothing has been resolved?  You don't, but I do as someone who has heard this from them and experienced it first hand.  So if you are angry then open your eyes, and look around, why are so many families departing our church?  If you cannot see it then you are being taken in by him and have had more cool aid then I care to stomach.  Get real, do you think things are just peachy?  Think again cupcake!  So in fairness to all who read this I am including the replies I have just read:

Who are you and why would I e-mail anything to you? If you are so sure of yourself then why don't you sign your name? Who gives you the right? Who are these members of all Saints who have to go to you... Satan often takes on the guise of the rightous...so, Satan, what say you?
First off the persons that I speak of do not have to come to me, we all have come together with the same common goal and that is to remove the Rector just like Nancy (Current Senior Warden) did herself.  Also, God gives me the right to speak my mind, and on the subject of God, he said "he that has no sin cast the first stone", careful you live in the glass house too.  And trust me you are not so Anonymous, I know who you are...........  Besides I have not once slandered any person, or called them names.  You on the other hand have done so in one posting.  Nice job!  These members you ask are typical Episcopal Parish Members that remain in the background not obvious in the work they do, and the process we are undertaking.  One thought on this Satan thing.  If you call me this, then what name do you have for the Current Senior Warden?  She had the biggest hand in getting Rector Seal removed?  Did you know that?  So, I am Satan?  Wow!  I can say she is solely responsible for starting this Parishes down turn by her and others in her party going to the Bishop and working to get Fr. Jim to retire.  Or in other words Step Down as we are requesting Rector Momberg to do.  Grow UP!

ok, I am not anonymous - I just don't know how this works. This is Niki Thrash - a member of All Saints, a member of the Leadership and this blog is a waste. What kind of coward are you not to say who you are but to stand off pontificating and judging others --- I wonder.
There is nothing Cowardly about this Blog, it is a simple format to voice opinions, you know Freedom Of Speech and all that.  If you are so high and mighty then tell me how you can sit back and allow this person to destroy this Parish.  Wait, I know you have been bought and paid for by being placed in the POWER POSITION you have in the Church!  Boy almost did not get that one.  Good luck in the future as we move onto our conversations with the Bishop in the next step.  Big word pontificating, but how do you know I have not spoken up in other formats at the Church, or written letters to the Rector asking to resolve issues, or had meetings with him to discuss the issues or my family has not attempted to resolve issues?  You can state this 25 cent word all you want, but truth be told, your Blinded by the Rector's so called "charm and woe is me personality", and the POWER TRIP you currently are on courtesy of him.  How do you know I am not a Leader of the Church, just because I am writing this Blog there is no reason to think other wise is there?

In closing, thank you for your comments.  But it still remains 10 to 2 in favor of his removal.  "What say you All Saints"  We hit a Soft Spot!

    To whoever you are,

    We are Mark and Sara Gibson, parishioners and leaders at All Saints’ for over 16 years.

    This appalling collection of rambling anonymous rants is nothing more than a cowardly, gutless, and unchristian effort to besmirch someone with whom you have a gripe. Free speech, as you might like to call it, stops at namelessly throwing insults and lies at people you don’t like. Indeed, this nonsense borders on libel.

    We’re truly sad that you feel your special needs are not being met, and that you have personal issues with All Saints’ leadership. But your issues are your issues, not All Saints’. Trying to foment an insurrection will do nothing but drag us all down with you. We suggest you seek counseling instead to find the root of your deep-seated and unhealthy anger.

    However, The Reverend Tom Momberg is rector of All Saints’, and he has our full support. He came to us through an open and transparent process, and has been thoroughly vetted by All Saints’ and by our diocese. We invite you to get right with it and cease this silliness. Our red door is for coming and going.

    P.S. – you need to check your spelling - “Satin” is a fabric.
