hypothetical strip club question
Let's assume you attend a church but you only go to make business connection instead of worship. Let's say one Friday night out your at a strip club and you peak into the VIP and find your Pastor enjoying a lapdance....what would you do ?
Got something to say?

"Thank-you, John," said I. "BTW, how do you know that if you didn't have yours open, too?"
My point is, I would either say nothing and leave, or more likely, stop by, say hello, and agree that neither of us was ever there. After all, Jesus associated with sinners of all kinds, lol.

Now that is a failure of logic. The pastor was probably not there for his personal gratification -- far more likely for the Christian ideal of supporting the poor and the downtrodden.
Shylnn it's very common in the south Protestant churches since its still the central point to the community. A lot of smart non believers will attended and give lip service to rub shoulders with other rich and successful men in the community. It's just how it goes
Mo head it's a protestant church
I love AC response lol very nice brother
If the local priest, rabbi, minister, preacher or shaman wants to go to strip clubs, chase whores, or be gay, isn't that between he or she and their God? What makes it anyone else's business?
That's a big part of y I'm looking into starting a liberal community of believers based on Love and no judgment....if their is a judgment that's God's job and not ours. Love, Peace, Grace and Forgiveness is what it's all about
There's a huge difference between pastors and priests - so a pastor wouldn't be as big of a sighting as a priest. However - either way - I'd say nothing.
One of the real keys to forgiveness is being humble enough to admit the error and to try your best to stop. If you don't, then you are actually unrepentant and your confession isn't worth squat.
Certainly, we all have ways of rationalizing potentially sinful behavior, and I certainly do my share. If my ATF ever asked me to make love with her, I'm not at all sure I could say no. That makes one woman in 35 years of marriage who could do that to me. I thank God that she hasn't.
Like it or not, congregations tend to hold preachers (or priests) to a higher standard than they impose on themselves. Part of it is hypocrisy, and part of it is a desire for a better example of how to live a life.
