Sep 23, 2011 at 14:13 comment added Waggers I can see both sides of this. I agree with mxyzplk that the questions he's referring to aren't "help me!" pastoral advice questions. But they are worded in a somewhat aggressive, making-a-point way rather than an I'd-like-to-know-more-about-this way - perhaps that's the issue here.
Sep 6, 2011 at 1:50 comment added DJClayworth No, because "How can I stop looking at pornography" has an answer that depends on the person and why they are looking, and no competent pastor would give an answer based on 50 words written on the internet.
Sep 6, 2011 at 1:14 comment added mxyzplk @DJClayworth depend how? "Because the person cares" is a terrible reason to make something off topic, and one that has no justification.
Sep 5, 2011 at 22:20 comment added DJClayworth For me the critical point about a pastoral question is that the answer will depend on the person asking it and there circumstances. Questions like "How can I stop looking at pornography", "How can I know if I've committed the unforgiveable sin", and yes the Tyrrany of the Weaker Brother; even "can you get to heaven without believing in Jesus".
