And of course, the church may have an interest in what organizations he belongs to. But it shouldn't have anything to do with paying dues out of HIS own pocket.

I thought pastors generally pay tithes on their salaries, either back into the church or to the district, or whatever. Is that not the case in OP circles? I think most AG pastors do that. Dunno for sure.
