I'm not sure if you were replying to my post or not, but if you were I
would like to state that 1 Tim 5:1 is written above as a direct quote
from the bible.  I used it to state that a pastor who a person thinks is
wrong should be entreated as a father *first*.  My personal opinion is
that the point behind this passage is we should think before we go and
not go rashly.  As far as rebuking an elder as in vs. 20,  I would leave
the rebuking before all to my higher ups if it needed to be done.
