I wasn't a pastor but a young adult and youth leader - in that capacity I knew and spent time with and became friends with young men (my age) in the church (Of course women too- but this story is because of my friendships with men.) One of our associate pastors started telling these young men not to associate with me- because I was a Jezebel. Mind you- they still wanted me leading these groups- they didn't have anyone else capable or willing- so as long as they needed me to put up the front of having these ministries I was OK- but then they undermined any authority I had as a leader by telling the people I led (and was friends with- that's how I know this happened) I was a Jezebel.
