Pastor Stewart-Allen Clark took a leave of absence Tuesday from First General Baptist Church in Malden, Missouri located in the states southeast boot heel after receiving widespread criticism for his sermon given in late February.
In his sermon, he explained that women need to lose weight and submit to the sexual desires of their husbands to keep the men from straying.
Clark also said wives need to wear makeup, dress nicely, have nice hair and appear less butch.
The original video was deleted from the churchs website, but a woman who was watching the sermon that day managed to post the video to Facebook, where it has caused widespread anger and gained thousands of comments.
Clark continued to ask why women let themselves go after marriage and reiterated that men only marry for good looks and sex.

Or to have designer clothing. And to sit in a spa all day getting nails and hair done.

That idiot pastor should take a long look at his ugly ass.

Her very expensive designer clothing was horrible.
I figure the designers hated her, she supposedly did not pay her bills.

(82,383 posts)Read. I said his hypocrisy probably kicks in and the reverse of women having to be thin and beautiful is that men need money. So he probably doesn't like women looking for money and security. What is wrong with you? Read sentences, they are the same no matter who says them.

1. Weight - bummer. He could try to improve his appearance.
Clark also said wives need to wear makeup, dress nicely, have nice hair and appear less butch."
2. appear less incel - bummer. He could, if he wanted to be the "one", appear more "butch". He is not that at all.
Gawd I hate people like that.

That said maybe he (or they them or that) is the current "butch"?

(16,835 posts)Some women like to keep their hair short and wear pants. It's not necessarily a statement about their sexuality; plenty of them are straight, they just don't like to dress feminine. But a lot of people would say that these women look butch.
Now a man who is sort of dumpy and wears loose-fitting clothes and big glasses and has his hair cut like it's a helmet would not be considered butch at all. Some would say that he looked more like a butch woman than a man. And that's what I was talking about. Sorry for the lengthy explanation.

(82,383 posts)it's just as possible she "let herself go" because he strays anyway. And there are plenty of gorgeous women with husbands who stray. What a dumbass.
Just not appropriate. If he went on about women obeying their husbands, we might disagree, but at least he would be talking about the Bible.

The "sermon" reminds me of this:
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? -Matthew 7:3
This is mean and way beneath me but, his hands are tiny lol.
