I guess somehow your dad being a minister somehow gives you greater insight into how pastors think and what their motives are. The headlines are filled with "ppl of the cloth"who have done wrong. So being the son of a minister does not give your view any more weight than others. Some religions allow gay ministers and they may GASP spank their partners. Who are you to say the OP kink is a insult???

I'd like to think that having been given an inside view of the church from the other side gives me more insight, yes. Doesn't make me the final word, SB, you should know better than to draw that conclusion - unless you're trying to be ironic, having poked at my statement for the verbiage of 'insult'.
I was going by literal translation of the tenets of the Christian church as they pertain to discipline, humility, and honest repent; you can Google them faster than I can draw the breath to type them here and decide for yourself if my words have merit, rather than being judgmental of my statement. A little education never hurts. [8D] Enough education does let you draw conclusions, which human beings do every day.
If it makes you feel better: I'm not even close to the final authority on the subject. I do have a seven-year window of looking at the church as it functions from behind the scenes, and based on that experience yes, I feel quite valid drawing my own conclusion regarding the OP's merits in context with the proposition made. Take it as you like, but I'd rather see you try to tackle the issue, instead of the posters - that's the bigger challenge.
