Our church hired and welcomed a couple who are allegedly married and were referred to us by their former church as great leaders of the GLBT community. Our church redid the baptismal pool, and we had a meeting about what kind of pool to buy. The couple insisted that we "save money" by purchasing a spa with actual jets instead of going through a religious supplier. The price was much lower and we all agreed that no one would be able to tell the difference. Now I must say that this is the most normal couple ever. They are about 50 ish and the wife dresses like an older but hip woman. I went to the sanctuary to pick up an old hymnal and heard two very male voices up front in the pool. There was a man in the pool with the pastor and they were staring at a picture of baby Suri and engaging in sex play. As I got closer, I realized that the second man was actually the pastor's wife. They saw me, and I left. What should I do? I'm pretty hip, but I'm worried about crap in the pool.

Yeah, I don't understand the baby Suri picture either. I am afraid that no one will believe me, or they'll think I'm making it up because they did work with transgendered people. Could someone tell me exactly what to say?

Do you want a pastor who has sex in a church, with a man nontheless, getting off on a picture of a baby?
I know i don't want him to bless me or forgive my sins, especially not a baptism.
Homosexuality is not condoned in the bible.
Report him, for he is not a man of God, and a false priest cannot help anyone.

What kind of crap in the pool are you talking about? Actual crap or the other substance? What about speaking to the pastor and his wife privately? I think that would be a better approach. Very likely they cleaned the pool after they were done anyway. But rather than get the whole congregation in an uproar over this (especially if they are well liked by most of the congregants) it might be in the best interests of all if you kept this a private matter for now.. That is unless they are not receptive to your concerns or refuse to discuss the matter with you. After all it isn't their private jacuzzi and they should have been more careful to lock up the church before playing in the (tub) together. Good Luck.

So does this mean that you have Bob and Neal for your church leaders? I think that the hot tub baptism pool is a cool idea. Its kind of freaky to see the "guys" getting it on in the church though. You have two options, 1 you can tell what you saw and maybe it will work out for the church. 2 you can balckmale the hell out of them and maybe make a little money. I would definately stay out of the hot tub, there is no telling what is floating around in there.
PS does this mean that there is holy water in the tub now that Rev. Bob and Lady Neal have christened it?

Is the real problem the transgendered wife, or inproprieties in the pool?
I understand the baptismal pool to be sacred (?).
I would find a new church.

I would most definitely find another church. Before u do tell the members of the church what u saw and then let them deal with it.Apparently they have no respect for the holy church.

Their lack of sanctity concerns me some. Such a pool was intended for baptism, no sex. Sex in any form should not be done in such a place, married, homogeneous or other wise.
How ever..I would just drop it. Perhaps make a passing comment about cleaning the pool, but besides that, drop it. I'm sure they are more embarrassed about it than you are.

In March 2d 1865 there replaced right into a chippie who outfitted the 1st warm tub. It replaced into made out of the optimal marble. It replaced right into a request via the King of Hulkamania that this be end till now his eightieth birthday. properly it replaced into finished in March 2d 1965 via the ancestors of this chippie. Why replaced into it not finished till a century later? tale has it that the chippie replaced into blind. And marble that he offered replaced into fairly canine crap. each and each time a hearth replaced into made below the tub of canine crap it melted away! Years glided via and each and all of the generations offered extra of this canine crap finding marble till 1965 while the final ancestor offered a pair of glasses. He come to realize that each and everyone this time, his family contributors replaced into development a bite of canine crap. So are you able to not see? No. properly it is going to ultimately break of day on you the which ability of this tale. now and lower back you get a question it is grand, eye-catching and worth answering. different cases this is canine crap. And for those questions, there are canine crap solutions. We basically might desire to take One Step previous! ~John Newland~

My suggestion would be to inform the church of what you saw, let them deal with the problem in their way.
