An article: Pastors and sexual temptation.

The article is a mixture of iron and clay that is truth and untruth. While there are things that can, seemingly, make Pastors more "vulnerable" many of those same things can be prevented by the Pastor himself; using them therefore would be the same logic as "Why people in bars are more likely to drink alcohol".  Jesus was "in all points tempted as we are", yet this article would seem to indicate that Pastors are in all points tempted above what we all are.....not buying it! This doctrine of Pastoral Exceptionalism is bogus.

I didn't come to your conclusions at all.
The article is, first of all, pretty accurate in its assessment of the situation.
It also puts the responsibility on the Pastors.
To whom much is given, much is required...Pastors should place Guardrails around themselves and their ministries because no one else does.
