***A former youth pastor...
A former youth minister... ***
I remember a youth minister who said his biggest problem in church was that many of the teen girls actually threw themselves at him.
It seems to be a problem in all churches as the SDA church recently had the same problem.
That reminds me of the statements that some talking heads on TV made about how it was supposedly every young man’s dream to be with a young female teacher - as if it was a big deal since this was what so many young boys wanted.
The retort to that on TV from other talking heads (and an excellent and correct retort at that), was that the female teacher was an adult, and as such was responsible for saying no, or not starting anything up.
“Youth” pastors should be middle aged or older than dirt IMO. What good is it to have a young man around other young people? Oh I get the “they can relate” meme, but that works against them too. Maybe I am old fashioned but young believers need a pedagogue not a pal.
What is the SDA Church? Just curious.
