Will you pray with the Pastor and let him bless you?

Question

It’s a warm summer’s afternoon, the Pastor is wearing a long dark black gown, tied around the waist with a corded sash, and he’s strolling in his sandals past the local primary school. The Pastor has a gentle caring smile with buck teeth slightly protruding. The air is filled with the sound of laughter coming from little children having fun in the playground before it’s time to head off home.

The bell goes, the children start shouting with joy, Mummy, Daddy, as they head off towards the school exit gate. The Pastor stands erect, eyes as wide as tennis balls, beaming smile, buck teeth glistening in the afternoon sun, with hands clasped together up by his chest.

The Pastor spots some children playing by themselves. He stares, he moves slowly towards them, he thinks “mmmmm, yummmy, little boy”.

Is the Pastor going to prey or pray? Is the Pastor going to give his blessings? What are your thoughts, as we see this sort of behaviour so much today?

Answer 1

I dont no?I have hered that about catholic priests,not about pastors. my mom was pissed that we put my daughter in catholic kindergarden she calls them pedifile palaces. If your unconfortable you may have good reason to be. I dont care who the hell they are priest or preacher you cant seam to trust anyone thease days, and are children are the most important thing in the world. so if a parents unconfortable they may have a good reason.

Answer 2

your story is funny. how do you know what he is thinking? Maybe he had a question for the children. Maybe he was looking for another parish member, or maybe he wanted to invite them in to church or to confession, or even in for donuts the PTA was offering.
I read somewhere that jumping to conclusions is a way to hell.

I don't see this sort of behavior so much today, although I've heard it happened a few times over many years. Seems like the media overplays things a lot.

Answer 3

Pastors are permitted to marry and therefor are rarely accused of such horrible acts as you have visualized. Perhaps you should visit a true Christian church and ask for the prayers of a Pastor commited to God. You will only find salvation through Jesus.

Answer 4

It sounds like the Pastor is going to eat the children.

Answer 5

First of all Pastors don't wear gowns like that. They wear regular suits. Secondly, if you were standing right there watching him, why didn't you do something.

Pastors don't "bless" people. In my Church we don't have alter boys or girls and we don't call our mothers mummy.

But then most people aren't as smart as you are.... You clever little thing.

Answer 6

My thoughts are that you have to be the worst story-teller I have ever had the unfortunate destiny to encounter. Your thoughts are poorly portrayed and the whole composition is pathetic. Please stay away from any sort of journalism. And by the way, you may want to talk to a professional about this fascination you seem to have with little boy/man thoughts.

Answer 7

Judging a whole group by the actions of a few.How Sad

Answer 8

Here come the Chrsitians in 5...4...3...2...1...

Answer 9

Maybe you have just plain judged him imporperly and he is completely inocent. In this country we still wait for someone to break the law before we arrest them.

Answer 10

... I hope that he's thinking of this in a cannibal like sense. D:

As long as he doesn't act on it, he can think whatever he wants. As long as he get's help for it and doesn't do anything I don't really care -what- he thinks. D:
