Pastors should not....

[Jim1999]

I have a tattoo on my right forearm. It is small and patriotic...crossed flags and hands shaking. I was a chaplain in army, when we were preparing to go to war in Korea. The lads challenged me and said "A chaplain would never get a tattoo." "Let's go", I said....fifty cents later it was there, and I made the lads vow to come to chapel services. I have covered it up with long sleeves all my life. I still voted against tattoos.

I don't dance, so naturally went back on the old school where dancing was evil and Baptists just didn't dance; still don't.

Kissing in public! Well, I am an old Englishman and we just didn't do these things in public, and I fear, I still don't. I don't hug anyone either.

The list is a little troublesome, cos it doesn't make these elaborations in the tally.

Cheers,

Jim

That means Jesus would not qualify as a pastor.

Would he qualify by not having earrings? Recall: "They will look upon the one they have pierced..." [ ]

Well, based on I Tim 3:2-7, I would add a few things to your list.


A pastor should not

• Be unmarried
• Be a drunk
• Be a fighter
• Be a new believer
• Have a poor reputation

Right, those are the things that count! People get hung up on the wrong things.

It's been my observation in my ministry that Christians often get upset about minor things and ignore major ones.

Pastors should not publicly kiss their tattooed and bodypierced wives while wearing an earring and while riding their motorcycles to the dance hall/pub after church on Sunday.

I saw Tinytim do that. It wasn't edifying.

:laugh: :laugh:

We can always count on your insights, rbell!

I knew that Tinytim was really wild! :tongue3:

A pastor should not be lost...the rest of the list is open for debate.
