Are you the woman or the pastor? Just Kidding!!!!! But really how d oyou know so much about how the pastor feels? And how does the woman feel?
The pastor is human but his feelings should not be shown publicly. And his wife definetly should not stir up drama with the woman after all we are talking about Church, the pastor and his wife....but if other members know about this why doesnt the woman find a new church? I mean its not the messenger but the message right?
Pastors are humans too, so just like any other man he'll see another woman that he finds attractive. Where I'm confused is, how exactly did everyone realize the Pastor was attracted to this woman? Did a relationship between these two actually take place? Or, is this a lot of hearsay? I know it's church but anyone who's been to church knows there a lot of gossip. So my question is, what did the pastor do? Because when you say, he tries to keep the relationship on the up and up, that says to me that nothing has happened between the two.
I was fine with the idea...pastors can date...until I saw in the OP that he is married! As long as he acts professionally, I can accept it...pastors are human too.
Anyone that is human can become infatuated with another person no matter what their duties or profession in life might be.
If he is keeping it on the "up and up" then he is resisting temptation and practicing what he preaches.
That in itself should be a reason to respect him for his abililty to avoid human temptation.
Everyone has thoughts. It is the end results, if any, that come from those thoughts that should be judged. Not the thoughts themselves.
Like others, I wonder how his feelings are known so well.
Could it be just a natural friendship with no strings attached and the gossip mongers are having something to talk about?
^But in the bible it states something to the effect that dirty thoughts lead to dirty actions....so again you are incorrecto...remember these people are Christians and have very very high standards

How do you know he is having dirty thoughts?
Can you see inside his mind? Do you base everyone elses alleged short comings on your own moral standards?
Just a question. Not condeming.
Very high standards are set by the individual or those who expect other individuals to have very high standards.
The Bible also says " let he who is without sin cast the first stone"
There are very few people in this world that are so perfect that they have the right to "cast the first stone".
Is the fact that he is a pastor even an issue? In the situation I am thinking about here, this pastor has had feelings for this woman for years but has tried his best to stay away from her and to keep things on the up and up. His wife is suspicious, but did the typical thing of blaming the other woman, even though she has never done anything to encourage or support the pastor's crush on her. On his part, he is drawn to this woman, but, again, tries his best to set clear boundaries. What do you make of this situation?
Are you the paster? Alot of "inside" information if your not. The pastor must be making his feeligs known or how would anyone know he has a crush. That is wrong of the pastor to make his feelings for another women public when he is married. I would not go to that church, I could never take anything he said seriously.
