I dont know about this one-WWJD? I think PRAY&TWEET. He used some pretty fanatical/radical means to communicate&minister(ie fish dinners, sermon from boats,walking on water, STRANGE parables, spit & mud in the eye miracles...) I think He's ALL Right with

Real pastors pray, teach, and communicate. Smoke signals and drums are out of vogue.

This “concerned brother” wants this “real pastor” to know that “Twitter” isn’t a verb. I’ll be tweeting prayers for him.

Still prefer "Turn or BURN" as an evangelism effort to this! :)

yes. it's true. all pastors do is pray. there's no time for internet or twitter. oh wait, they do have time to make bumper stickers. that's okay.

Wow! I'm just wondering what God can and will do through you when you become a "Real Pastor." I'll be listening for my telegraph message.

Real pastors don't twitter, they pray.... and get bumper stickers made?

How about - Real pastors don't need banners or bumper stickers, they pray? - Besides, tweeting is so much faster and easier than making the banner in the photo and printing it, etc. Twitter is a better use of time. :)

So he's saying you're not a real pastor? He's not "concerned" - he's already made up his mind.

Real "Concerned Brothers" Don't Bumper Sticker - they donate to Pastor's Vacation Fund ;-)

Ugh! I don't understand the "concerned brother" types. I mean really, we even twitter prayers. That can't be bad can it?
