My grandfather was a pastor for years after being married to his second wife. In a seperate church my dad was offered a board position until the pastor realized he had been married before! My uncle was asked to step down from the sound tech b/c his wife left him!!!!!

Each to his own,and as far as your uncle is concerned maybe he didnt qualify, because as one preacher said "always put your weakest, most carnal people in the sound booth because they aint no one in there gonna be saved anyway !:
Why in the UPCI can a preacher,pastor etc.... have a second wife but the deacons and/or board members must not be married but once??

Even clearer still... "In aparticular UPCI church?"
There are no positions called "deacon" or "local church board member" in the UPCI manual. Whatever you are seeing is a local rule and who knows why such a thing would be allowed to develop.

That's sad. A man can't even run the sound board if he is the victim of divorce?
Needless to say, some "pastors" have such hackneyed and ego driven rules and agendas that they defy all attempts are reasoning them out.

That explains everything!

So, if you're saved, and you want to divorce and remarry, but don't want the restrictions, all ya gotta do is backslide, divorce, marry, get saved again, and voila! Deaconhood awaits!
You've got it!! Pretty simple.
