Rev. Cedric Miller, a New Jersey pastor and leader of Living Word Christian Fellowship Church, gained notoriety this week when he called the social networking website a "portal to infidelity" and demanded that married church leaders delete their accounts or resign.
However, this guy has no business discussing infidelity, because in 2003, he and his wife were involved in a three-way sexual relationship with a male church assistant!

This is why I love to read and laugh out loud what these pastors do and say. Every pastor is a hypocrite when they speak out against something.
I've read you before & I suspect this was just a slip of the semantic tongue, falling into the common parlance etc, but "guilty"? What the man is guilty of is being a hypocrite. There's nothing "guilty" about enjoying a sex life simply b/c its not the sanctioned norm.
How many do we have to see/hear about before we realize that those who preach the loudest against something are those who are the most guilty of that which they preach against!!!
No I dont. Seriously, I've very little clue about the differences between various christian sects, other than the obvious catholic/protestant divide & the more fringe lifestylers, like mormons, jehovah's witnesses, Society of Friends (for whom I probably have the most respect amongst christians), etc.

It's like, "What's the difference between a Baptist and a Presbyterian in a liquor store?" Give up? The Presbyterian will speak to you if you run into him. Get it?

Every pastor is "HUMAN", not a hypocrite.
Yes there are plenty of hypocrites out there, but remember, they are all just human.
Jesus Himself said "let he that is without sin cast the first stone"
The Apostle Paul called himself "chief among sinners".
The Psalmist David was a murderer and adulterer, but was referred to by God as "a man after His Own heart".
Noah got drunk shortly after the ark landed on solid ground.
Moses killed an Egyptian guard.
I could go on, but suffice it to say that the Bible is full of adulters, murderers, liars, cheats, etcs. Only Jesus was perfect, no one else.
Churches and pastors do a great deal of good for people and they are all packed full of mere humans. Are there some really evil preachers out there, just in it for the money? Yep, but they are the exception not the rule.
So climb down off your judgement throne there buddy and get down here in the mud and dirt with the rest of us mortals.

Ok. Apparently, Queen Cleopatra used to bathe in asses' milk. 1 day the milkman arrived with the delivery & she was already waiting, naked in the bath.
