Swinging Saints! - Page 6

I know a UPCI pastor who takes a "hands off" approach to whatever couples do in private and long as it's mutually agreed upon. Not sure exactly how far he'd go with what he would allow though. I asked about a couple things and he said, "It's your love life, it's between you and your wife and what you agree upon as a couple." He said, "If you both are in agreement, neither are offended, and it's mutual; I don't ask...and you don't have to tell." I imagine there are others like him. I was talking to him about some of the standards of the church we used to attend (ultra conservative) where the pastor outlined exactly what intimate behaviors a husband and wife were allowed.

Just a pastor who had a very big name until this was revealed.

So after this was revealed they let him keep his license and he lost his big name?

But, I would assume he's meaning between them in THEIR own marriage - not with others. That is adultery and a sin.

It's all gotta be true. You read it on AFF. If you know this to be a fact, rather than gossiping on line you need to notify the pastor or someone at UPCI headquarters. The National Inquirer has nothing on AFF.

The pastor doesn't "know" me. We have met but that is it. Plus for me to reveal the information would reveal the person who told it and they are an adult that can open that can of worms on their own. They are the ones that would have to live with the information coming forth.

And it is not gossiping on line. I did not reveal where or who is doing this. I am merely trying to discover is this an isolated event or a new trend. Hopefully, you can see the difference???
