The Christian Broadcasting Network. I keep seeing that on other blogs. I think I pasted in one such story on this blog somewhere, but I know I read somewhere about a married pastor whose wife died.
His church made him step down once he was single again due to his wife dying. He began applying for jobs, but no church would hire him because they all insist on hiring married men.

About the only area churches will permit women — married or single — to serve is in the church nursery. I have never felt comfortable around kids or interested in being around them, so I cannot even do that much. Churches are really needlessly ostracizing and excluding a heck of a lot of people on the basis of gender and marital status.
I seriously doubt this is what Christ wanted or taught he always included people, even women.
Back in his day, it was scandalous for a rabbi to teach women, talk with them in public, but he did all that any way! There may be some comfort factor there because his orientation is no longer in question, at least his public orientation.
Can you imagine him giving a talking to them about premarital sex? Thank goodness there were older Christian singles in my neighborhood who cared enough to get involved. I have a new theory about this though. I think all of that condemnation gets channeled to other sins — like cigarettes. Think of the number of times your preacher has talked about tobacco. Then compare that to the number of times he has talked about fornication and adultery. Usually when I calculate that, the ratios are not even close — something like 5: But cigarettes are not their only whipping boy.
They like to use any visual cue there eyes can focus on — tattoos, makeup, clothes, etc. The hypocracy is so thick you can cut it with a fork. Honestly, If I had made it to without a mentor who was also on the same road, I probably would not have made it to 51 today. I had always wondered why Catholics put so much emphasis on monks and nuns living in a community, not wanting them to be out on the streets and dealing with the everyday grind.
Because out on the streets as my case the probability of running into a lifetime celibate are astronomical, waiting on marriage or not. The internet has made it a little easier today since virtuous singles are spread out all over the world. One problem though is that there are some, understandably, who account make that leap of faith and reach out and grab the hand of an older Christian single.

Of course, that could have resulted from bad experiences in the past, not having a computer, etc. When support is not possible face to face, at least the technology does offer an alternative, albeit not perfect — but definitely sufficient.

For instance, I know several virtuous singles, personally and online, who might well be matches for a few singles I know in church. But has anybody asked me about that? Of course, that might take a feather out of the preachers hat. In most churches, pride and politics trump real needs. So no amount of bible thumping, pugh warming, lesson studying, etc. My waiting has moved into a dimension so far away from small rural churches that I have accepted the fact that not another soul like me is going to walk through the church doors.
I feel pretty healthy today. Oh sorry about any confusion, due to my wording — Gungor did not advise singles to try eHarmony; those were my words.
