What did you learn today?

Yep, confirmed it with my parents. The pastor getting married is just the same as any other normal person. They can be set up, but if the girl doesn't want, she doesn't have to. Also, whoever told you it's taboo to refuse is spouting BS. If the girl has a fiance or a boyfriend they're not even an option. I think usually the ones who become pastors are already married anyway. Also, the only right thing in that is that the wife usually really doesn't work, because being a pastor is like working at an office and the wife helps with all the paperwork to my understanding. Even when my dad was head deacon (different from pastor) he was swamped with paperwork, though my mom had her own job outside work as well as her own 'tungkulin' within the church.

Just want to set things straight. I don't like talking about religion, but when someone has some skewed view of another, especially if its my own, I feel I'm obligated to defend it :/
