I see what happened to western influenced pastors today the same way what happened to the scholars and pharisees in Jesus' time.
They tolerated anyone as long as they are spoiled by them.
In a way, it is easy to use them.
But I have a rule, never simply accept favors from those who love to ask for favors; also, be watchful of those who love to give favors. These do not for God but for themselves, using the name of God.
