The Church sex scandals.

G'day everyone!

If it's NOT the Roman Catholic Church having a sex scandal, another one is having it.

Here's the article: http://www.wsbtv.com/news/14642059/detail.html

It has increasingly becoming sad to me to hear of these "pastors". Human they are, yes. But when their wives are not doing their job of pleasing their husbands, then some thing's wrong.

I wish every church ministry would look at their pastor and their members under a microscope today before Thanksgiving happens. I hope every pastor starts wondering : "Am I next to be found out?" every day. Confession is good for their souls. Even if it costs them their job, family, gives prison time, then it will be clear that the price of breaching the oath of a pastor is a HIGH PRICE to pay for.

Pastors: take time today. If you are having an affair out there, get out of it. Then treat your wife to a special evening and eventually go away on vacation with her to rebuild your marriage.

For those that have secretly fathered children, it's time to come clean more than ever. Because if you don't "be sure your SIN will find you OUT" syndrome will happen.

Pray for your ministry, folks. This is more than ever of an important time in our very lives.

Semper Fi.

Well, hmmmm... You've touched on a significant topic, but you've also opened a can of worms. You said, "But when their wives are not doing their job of pleasing their husbands, then some thing's wrong."

Sorry there guy, but you've made it sound like affairs or sex scandals are the wives' fault for not "pleasing" (having more sex with or giving into the sexual demands of) their pastor husbands and therefore causing them to look elsewhere.

Ummm.... I don't think this is what you really want to say, correct? Because it comes off very sexist.

If this IS what you meant, then I have to say that your idea is seriously worth revisiting!

I also found it interesting that you perceived taking a wife out to dinner or away on vacation as a way to save a marriage. I wonder how many other men out there feel this is a good way to address issues in a failing or bumpy marriage, or as a way to absolve them from affairs or sex scandals...

Before making any further comment, I just want to reflect on this as I find myself sitting here with one eyebrow raised at this way of thinking....

I wasn't trying to open a can of worms. But I was stating an opinion of sorts.

I don't mean to be sexist at all. But some wives need to work on their marriage to it successful. It takes two people to make it work. It only takes ONE to head for disaster. (which has happened in some cases).

I do understand that many a marriage is already under a lot of stress these days. Even under attack across the 'net. There's various reasons out there for what happens when a marriage falls.

I know I'd advocate counseling for a couple if they believe that it works. Other than that, I'd advocate for couples to keep going out on dates.

I know some couples have a "open marriage". That's their business.

But point is. Whatever which person it the marriage is at a greater fault for the fall of the marriage, the price to pay becomes higher.

whoa...definitely sexist. See, the problem with men having affairs or being involved with sex scandals has nothing to do with the wife. People need to stop blaming others for "reason" why they did what they did. Everyone is accountable for his/her behavior. I'm reading more and more that the root of men going astray has less to do with their wife satisfying them, rather it has more to do with their own personal issues or addiction. There is such a thing as sex addiction, ya know. Not meaning to be sexist on the male, but you get my drift. It works the other way around too, in that case the females are nymphs.

Peace out~
