Preacher’s Wives

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that some of the most insulting, self-centered women on the planet are found to be preacher’s wives?

What’s up with that?

There have been many times over my years in the workforce that I have encountered a preacher’s wife who feels that I am subservient and souly at HER service. She speaks in a tone that makes a person feel like a slave to her command and when you defy her command she treats you as a leper or some poor redheaded stepchild she’d rather take out behind the woodshed for a lashing or two.

Do these women (and I generalize here as and should state for the record that I am sure not ALL preachers wives fall in this category, but I’ve yet to find one) actually believe they have a one way ticket through the pearly gates just because their husband stands in the pulpit once or twice a week?

I’ve always heard the worst behaved children are preachers kids, but I am beginning to realize the poor mans entire families are skating through on his Sunday suit tails.

And just for the record, just because Tammy Faye did it doesn’t make it a standard trend for all preachers wives to wear three foot fake eyelashes that weight their eyes closed or the high rise hairdo that’s likely to gain sponsorship from Aqua Shield errr Aqua Net hairspray. Give up the plastic exterior, God’s going to know who you are with or without the make-up.
