ok then, if talk to him about it, and him willingly suggest to give me money? will i still be guilty in terms of the law?and wat about talking money and then expose him? using money as evidence

Answer 1

The entire plan regarding asking money is completely illegal.
The rest of it is more a moral issue. The question is public good versus his or his family's positions and feelings in the matter.

Answer 2

I don't put much stock in TV preachers, because I've heard of many stories like this. (Not to mention the ones who basically say that if I give money to their ministry, no other charities or Christian organizations, including the church of which I'm a part, that I know to be legit, just their "ministry" I will be largely financially and materialistically blessed, which is somewhat contradictory to the Bible.)

However, if I knew that my pastor was committing adultery, I would want to do something about it. After all, he's essentially standing in the pulpit on Sunday preaching one thing, while doing another on Monday.

I hate stories like the one you described simply because it blackens people's views of Christianity, the morals of the faith/lifestyle and of pastors. Obviously, though, it does show that pastors are human. My father's a pastor. My husband is in seminary pursuing is Master's of Divinity degree and is working this school year as a student pastor. I know full well that pastors are human.

On the other hand, if my husband were the one that was committing adultery, I would definitely want to know, somehow. Especially since it would effect (affect?) our children.

As it's been stated, I think that trying to force him to pay for your silence puts you on the same deviant, unmoral level as the pastor. Yet, there's no guarantee that he will give you so much as a penny. For all he knows, he could write you a nice check, you could cash it and still publicly expose him.

You could just remind him that what he preaches on Sunday (and the rest of the week since pastors do plenty of preaching and teaching the rest of the week, too) and what he does on Monday are two different things and how does he really feel about that? For all I know he could be one of those "pastors" who don't care about the beauty and the virtues of Christianity and are one of those TV preachers who try and exploit money from people. Yet, for all I know, he could be one of those people whose hear, when he's preaching at least, is in the right place.

Just my thoughts. What ever you do, you will have to live with it as well.

EDITED TO ADD: The passage below was misquoted, as it often is. The correct quote is, "The love of money is the root of [all kinds] of evil." (Some trasnlations use "all kinds", some don't).

Answer 3

Money is the route of all evil, It is really none of your business to get involved except for your cousin but she is a big girl and sounds like she is making some decisions that may hurt her in the long run. Just hope that the wife doesn't freak out and kill the pastor and the cheating cousin Like the time on the news with the wife that killed the pastor and she has 4 kids and is now in jail. The pasor will get his -- nothing lasts forever.
Play with fire and you may get burned.

Answer 4

Profiting (financially) from this wouldn't make you much better than him. You could end up going to jail for blackmail, think about it or you get hurt in other ways, not everyone plays along nicely when cornered.
If you are so worried about whether you should follow through with this 'plan' - think about the consequences and not your immediate (financial) gratification.
Do you honestly think that in this day and age where bad deeds are rewarded with fame and invitation to talk shows etc. to openly 'repent', that would phase said pastor? If he's that popular, he might win new fans, attention, whatever.
Think, man, think!

Answer 5

Exposing this minister to the public's eye could be quite lucrative for you if you execute it the right way...

There's no reason why you should not expose this person. Rather it hurts his family or not he's perpetrating to be a sanctified person on radio, tv and in magazines but behind closed doors, he's living a lie. Eventually, it will be exposed.

Answer 6

Wow, This affair does not affect you so there are a few issues. first, if you want to extort money from him this is a criminal act and now you bring yourself to their level (and possible jail time). Second, If you bring this into the open who knows the number of innocent people this will affect along with the guilty. But third, keeping it all to yourself isn't healthy either so I would probably talk to my distant cousin and see where that goes.

Answer 7

Sounds like you have an evil streak, just to even consider blackmail.
I think you are enjoying this. That's just as bad.
If he is a hypocrite then he should be exposed. His wife doesn't deserve a man like him and he shouldn't be thought of as a pillar of the community.

Answer 8

I think you need to confront him. Don't black mail him, even if you think he deserves it, you'll be worse off for it. You can't do something like that and not lose a little something of yourself too.

If he doesn't stop the affair after you confront him then expose him. I'm sorry but if the man doesn't care enough for his marriage and children to stop this then he doesn't deserve to have them and the wife should know. If I were the wife I'd certainly want to know.

Answer 9

hmm blackamil was illegal the last time i checked, i masy be wrong... no im not.

so you want us to advise you on breaking the law, making us an accesorry after the fact if you have already done it, or just an accesory if you havent and we say yes. either way we are also breaking the law.

well good luck, im not answering

Answer 10

Extortion is a criminal offense, which occurs when a person either obtains money, property or services from another through coercion or intimidation or threatens one with physical harm unless they are paid money or property.
