Brutish Pastors Scatter Sheep

Pastors are people too, so why should their stats be better than everyone else's?

"Over 50% of nursing supervisors’ wives feel that their husbands entering nursing was the most destructive thing to ever happen to their families."

Sorry doesn't just ring true !! You're total dismissal that there are ANY special pressures attached to ministry or minsters family's is rather refreshing in its honesty, typical of this forum and a great reminder why I (or any other conservative) so rarely post here anymore.

Goodbye.

Have you ever managed a store? Or had any position with employees under you as well as supervisors over you demanding results?

And yes, having a spouse in the medical field IS stressful.

I believe that pastors have unique challenges -- as do many other professions. I admire people that take on the role of pastor.

But seriously.... seems that some conservatives on this board get together and agree to state something like this (bolded) at the end of every post... Why not just put it in your signature? How does this discussion have anything to do with conservatives vs. liberals? Good grief.

maybe some folks who believe they are pastors feel compelled to always have an emotional closing to fortify their use of persuasion.

It does invoke an emotion -- though probably not the intended one...

You think my comparison to any job is a dismissal to what pastor's also face? Did you even read my post? And what I said reminds you of why you rarely post anymore?

Thanks for the credit, but I'm not worth it. I'm just a little peon so your guilt trip attempt won't work on me.

And looking obtuse doesn't suit you. You know perfectly well what I meant.
