False pastors have little regard for the sheep (or the Chief Shepherd for that matter). Instead, their first priority is self, masked by other agendas. Such pastors may use pressure tactics, political maneuvering, and/or persuasive speech in order to manipulate a congregation into acting on their behalf.

When they don't get their way, false pastors usually 1) move on to another church, 2) cause a stir in their current church and/or 3) blame the congregation for not following their lead. Simply put, monster pastors are building their own kingdom rather than Christ's kingdom.

As a general rule, monster pastors:

1. Are always right and never wrong.

2. Cannot accept criticism without becoming defensive.

3. Are not willing to share the pulpit.

4. Do not support other ministries.

5. Overly use the personal pronoun, "I."

6. Resist accountability.

7. Feels threatened by former pastors.

8. Surround themselves with "yes men" rather than edifying leaders.

9. Do not entrust ministry to other leaders.

10. Undermine programs that they cannot control.

11. Insist that everything in the church run through them.

I guess people will find it hard to comment because their pastors probably portray some of these features...Who are they to judge? Isn't that the excuse these days?

I do not like the use of the word 'Monster' in your write up.However you are entitled to your opinion.There are wolves in sheep's clothing in virtually every sphere of human endevour.There fakes and pretenders but fake means there are also original .Also it is important to note that the hood does not make the monk.However In spiritual maters it is always advisable to seek God's opinion through the help of the holy spirit.May God help us.
