Depleted: I never said we don't pay our pastor. We do pay him, $2,000 a month if I recall correctly from our January church business meeting. He and his wife do a lot more at church than just preach from the pulpit.
We also have a church-maintained retirement account for our senior (retired) pastor, an 86 year old gentleman who is known in the whole town. If you say "The Pentecostal Church" some people here might not know which church you are talking about, but if you say "Brother (name redacted)'s church" they know where that is.
But our pastor also has a job at a factory. He had that job long before he became our pastor, and there is no reason in the world for him to quit it right now.
Depleted lately I have noticed you often fire before making sure of your target. Perhaps in this case a better response would have been to first ascertain whether we pay our pastor, and THEN you could have remonstrated with me about our church not paying him.
