power of the pastor....

so i've been in a blogging mood lately. mostly because i've been off for 2 weeks and kinda bored. the good thing is that i get to catch up on other blogs. :-)

so i come across this book blog http://rosebooks.blogspot.com/ and there's a review of a book called "the pastor's wife does cry".

its basically about how the women inthe congregation are trying to "holla" at the pastor and blatantly disrespecting the pastor's wife.

it reminded me of when i first joined my church and i had to goto orientation classes. the co-pastor of the church was teaching the class and somehow he got off topic and started talking about how he is happily married and just because he gives you a hug at church doesn't mean he want you. lol.

supposedly, it was just wishful thinking on some of the female parts.

i also remember when i was an undergrad at a hbcu in alabama and my friends and i attended a local church regularly. the pastor told the whole entire congregation that he had been cheating on his wife and he is going to step down for a minute because he was a hypocrite.

that was so wild yall. i mean i know pastors are humans too, but i did agree with him on the hypocrite part.

i mean he did plenty of sermons on the sins of lusting, fornication, adultry, homosexuality, and the such.

matter of fact, this girl that we knew told us that he tried to holla at her when she was at sears one day. thats just crazy ( considering it was a small town where everyone knows everybody else's business).

so i get to thinking, what is so attractive about the pastor? i mean i know there are some physically attractive pastors out there, but the foremention ones weren't.

then it hits me....its got to be the power! i mean if you think about it, pastors have a lot of power and can pretty much get their congregation to do whateva they want. of course it suppose to be all for God, but we all know that is not necessarily true.

back to the story of the pastor that cheated, the next sunday the deacons begged for him to come back to the pew and he agreed. his wife stood by him. i forgot that tell yall that alot of people left the congregation after that.

me personally, i don't know if i ever could be the pastor's wife. God bless coretta scott king (rip). its got to be hard to stand by and let your husband do God's work and not be nagging about how they don't spend enought time with you and the kids and such.

be blessed yall :-)
