I am thankful for a wife that is willing to live and submit to these ideals that her pastor and mother taught her. If she was unwilling to follow that in her own devotion, If I were to continue pastoring, I would be to some degree have to figure out a way to ... justify what she is unwilling to do.

When I read this line in the other thread, my first thought was "what if the pastors and husband have differing views?". Granted, that is an alien thought when it comes to many UC's, but still, it is scary to think of a husband "giving" his wife to his pastor. Natgeo did a couple of exposes on this sort of behavior when investigating "Michael" in New Mexico. I forget the name of the group. But the first show dwelved into their cult and Michaels prophecies (and how he claimed other members wifes as a sign of submission).
The 2nd episode delt with his trial on molestation charges.
