I know Pastors who "Look the Part" to a tee, but forbid ANY divorce. In fact, if you divorce you will be asked to leave. Some even feel if you've remarried, you must divorce your current spouse and go back to the other. If you do wind up alone, you may NEVER remarry, even if the other party goes off and marries and starts another family. This Pastor even preaches, if you were in the World and got married and divorced, you still can't remarry after becomming a Christian.

My daughter went to a youth event years ago in one UPCI Church, and the young people were forbidden to ride a roller coaster that was at the Mall. They also celebrate no Christmas, no internet, no slits, no video cameras, sleeves to the wrist, men can't wear colored shirts to church, no mustaches or facial hair, no gold bands on watches, and the list goes on.

My daughter said the girls in the Church were scared to death to get married. Fear was in every move they made.

Why don't they target men like this?? The Dictators and Demanders?? I don't get it.

That's an interesting question.
