It possible that he did, and his son still moved in with his fiance. Did you change your mind after he spoke his peace? Perhaps he spoke his peace to his son as well and his son didn't change his mind, same as you. If the answer is no, he didn't question his son's behavior, then I would look for another church. Because I do feel that is hypocritical and I would want to attend a church with a pastor that is inconsistent like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really i hold no ill feelings toward him personally as i know he is no better then you and I just because he is a pastor. Either way i have found a much better church and would not go back there anyway. It just urked me when it happened and i guess obviously by this thread i still havnt let it go completely. God Bless, Dave A certain part of me thinks you would be doing the pastor a favor by confronting him with it. If it truely is hypocracy that he is practicing, I think it should be pointed out to him. hopefully he will be a better man, pastor for it...But that is what I would do...maybe...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i cant seem to get by it soon i may have to do just that. Actually, I would affirm that this is the best option. You were obviously hurt and felt betrayed. If there is hope of reconciliation, that's great! If not, at least you tried, you got it off your chest, and all that. Blessings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
