Not sure what benefit of the doubt I'm giving him now. It looks like nobody is denying these 2 men spoke. So the question is was he trying to lie by calling him the family pastor. I just don't think calling him that was an attempt to lie to people. The mother asked him to speak, and he was introduced as the family pastor.
I'm not playing technicalities, and I get what you're saying. But he said he's the family pastor. If that's how he introduces himself and he has the mom's cosign, then I get addressing him that way. Maybe he was overhyping his relevance. I'm just saying I get how someone could address him that way.
Honestly, when someone is introduced to you as the family pastor, in front of family.... do you do a survey of the family tree, and say "naw, a brother and 3 of the grandkids don't go here. You're not the family pastor"
