The pastor in question was a fairly new pastor, however, he was not 
young in the Lord.  He came out of a congregation that was well 
established and his former pastor is a man who preaches to UPC 
congregations all over the US and at conferences.  He had the 
opportunity for plenty of adequate teaching.

The man did not wear glasses.

The person was not in the habit of complaining about messages or 
about pastors.  The person was in the habit of intensely studying the 
Word of God.  The person repeatedly approached this pastor (in 
private) about the incorrectly quoted scriptures and with questions 
concerning doctrines built upon them. Complaining never entered 
the picture.  This person was not whining about some standard or 
about some teaching that they didn't want to follow.  This person 
was concerned with a pastor who either unknowingly misquoted 
scripture or, God forbid, purposely sought to twist the scriptures 
to his own end.
