I don't know all of the circumstances, but the wife informed the pastor, and then he confronted her husband. The husband was given an ultimatum, so he left.

Left the church or left the wife? did the wife go with him or stay behind?
did the dude leave all church or just that local church?
answering these questions should clear up a lot of the other questions.
AND the dude should have left that local church the day he bought his Tv.

That kind of stuff happens a lot in controlling authoritarian churches where Pastors are manipulators and not shepherds. I have even heard of Pastors telling wives to leave husbands, NOT because of sexual infidelity but because the husband left or has a TV or whatever. In those churches a wife might feel they have to tell the pastor everything.
The Pastor pits family members against family members. Scandalous
__________________ Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
If I were the wife and the pastor asked me a question, I would send him to my husband for the answer.
My thougths exactly!

And we wonder why many husbands stay home while their wives go to church.
