Re: ? - right/wrong/neither

As long as both are single and their behavior in public appropriate, why on
earth would it be anybody's business, and why would it not be acceptable.
How many girlfriends a single guy may have in a period of time is
irrelevant. Why does he have to "go steady?" I just don't understand why
anyone should have a problem!

Okay, I got asked a question(s) today and I am not 100% sure of my answer
because I can honestly see both sides (what a curse sometimes). Anyway, I
thought I would throw this out there for you all.

How would you feel if the youth pastor at your church were dating the
sigle
mother of one of the youth in his youth group? Appropriate? Not
appropriate?? Why?

Also....what if this were the 3rd girlfriend this same youth pastor had
within a 1.5-year period and the 2nd girlfriend was also a member of the
congregation?

Along thos esame lines - Is it appropriate for a single pastor to date
members of the congregation of the church where he is employed?

Okay, I am truly interested in the conversation this could bring about.

    ... If the church believes it would be okay for her to remarry, I don't see why it should be a problem. ... within a 1.5-year period and the 2nd girlfriend was also a member of the congregation? ... I would much rather see a youth pastor date within his own congregation rather than outside of the congregation, because I would be concerned about the influence of someone from a different congregation; HOWEVER, I think that any dating or girlfriends of someone at a pastor level should have a maximum amount of discretion -- not subterfuge, but just confidentiality. ...
