I'll start it off...
It is UNSCRIPTURAL for a pastor to be expected to put church members/attendees BEFORE his/her own family. (And I'm not talking about a kids basketball games vs. a member in the ER - Common sense here)
It is UNFAIR to expect a pastor/preacher to be available 24-7 even if they derive their income solely from the church/churches.
It is UNREALISTIC to expect a pastor/preacher to be perfect, never have a bad day, never make a mistake, etc.

If that is the case then some of these pastors need to work as hard as the saints.
See I work 60 hours a week in Telecommunication sales.
I support Healthcare organizations.
Their communications do not sleep nor take days off.
I might get a call on Thanksgiving day that their systems are down.
So do I hide from my cell phone? No!
And I am not in the business of my actions causing folks to lose their souls.
Pastors like many of the working saints in our demanding world.
Better give a good 40 hour week.
Then bring their A-game to the pulpit.
It is what our boss demands...
It is also what their boss demands....
My experience has always been most pastors give much of their time and heart....
