I wonder what his congregants think?

[Walker1]

I wonder if he does naked sermons-like nude yoga- with a great group jerk off ?

[Becket]

All I know is those big ole robes preachers and pastors wear are great for hiding your woody during church.

 

....or so I've been told........

[TruthBTold]

Good for him! If he has found happiness (and forgiveness if that is what he was looking for) then I am happy for him.

[hornytwells]

he was one of my favourites, despite him seeming to receive a lot of hate press-always found him very sexy and handsome

[+ FreshFluff]

I looked him up. He's had a hard life. I wish him happiness.

A troubled soul.....

[JayCeeKy]

Ah-men.

The religious life appeals to many people because life is complicated and having some strict rules to follow does, for many, simplify things. Too many choices really is paralyzing for a lot of people. As long as they aren't imposing that lack of choice on me that's fine.

 

Ultimately it's not really different from someone saying "I will control my weight by only eating between X am and Y pm and never eating A,B,or C."

I bet he is an expert on the Missionary Position.

A lot of God talk on the forum of late. I like it 👍🏻

Sex Work is work.
Sex Work in the past, is just work in the past.

Unless he behaves poorly, like making money off of public disparagement of the SW or LBGTQ communities, I think he’s best thought of as a guy who made changes in his life, is all, and now doing a different kind of performance.

Just wondering what you mean by "a different kind of performance"?  Thanks!

The show has two performances every Sunday. Lots of audience interaction and participation. The “crowd” a mix of season-subscribers and those who pay what they can, everyone likes the music, and the principal cast is small but committed. Though non-Union, they are well compensated. 

The lead guy often reads notes or the teleprompter but loves improv too. Lame jokes are a staple!
Snacks are offered a few times a year  (the Presbyterians even serve to your table!!) Some shows get telecast, even picked up and renewed for years of episodes, making stars of the lead and his wife! 

Church work is work.

He's aged well.  He looks as handsome as ever.  I have to wonder how many of his parishioners entertain impure thoughts about him during his sermons.
