I'm surprisingly not one myself, but I'm a pastor's granddaughter, a pastor's grandniece, FOUR pastors' niece, and about 5 of my friends are Pastor's kids. :p
I'm surrounded by pastors. :D
 
Nope, I am not a PK. In my church, PKs are very rare, almost non-existant.

By the Way, there are some legit reasons why some Catholic priests have children. If a priest from the Orthodox, Episcopalian, and some select others becomes Catholic, he can get a special dispensation to become a priest in the Catholic Church even if he is married.

your church has no great loss, then. :rolleyes: PKs are generally spoiled brats. AT least, most of the ones I've known in real life are. I was told that I'm not the usual PK. I guess that's a compliment but...I'd rather NOT be one at all.
 
I'm a pastor's kid, but I haven't known many other pastors kids at all. I like being a pastor's kid, but I do hate the thought that we could move at any time. I love my church to death and I can't face the thought of leaving. :(:mad: But I'm sure we wont for a long while anyway. :D
 
This thread sure brings back memories. I think it was one of the first I saw when I joined! But it was in the other (less random) section of the forum then (I think). Wow. Time flies. Especially when it's already past.
 
I'm a PMK...Professional Musician's Kid (you have have to put in the "P" because of all those idiots out there who can play three notes on the guitar and call themselves musicians, kidding, sort of). It means I'm poor, on the verge of starving, really. :p
 
I'm still a PK's kid. You never can grow out of that. :rolleyes:

and yes, I will admit, I'm bitter about my dad's job. I admire that he's doing what he feels God's called him to do...but sometimes I wonder if he's made a mistake.

Having known other PKs, Aravis, I can see a little of what you mean. One of the reasons my parents left the organized church is because they had problems with what pastors have become. I believe in one of Paul's letters he writes that a church leader should have a solid family first.

I hope that you can give your struggles to God, and know that he works all things to the good of those who love him. Maybe there's a reason you were a PK, which you haven't found out yet. And you can always pray for your father. :)
 
I don't know if it's helpful to hear this from somebody else--I learned it from experiance, and that may be the only way. However: difficulties can make us sad OR we can treat them as oppertunaties to learn. You'll learn from troubles whether or not you treat them that way, but I've found that it makes them easier to bear if you actively use them—the way you use a set of math problems in your homework to improve your math skills. God bless.
 
I'm a NPK- Nurse Practitioner's Kid.
I might not have a parent around all the time, but my mom brings home left over catering food and I'll always know first aid.
 
no, but

Nope, I'm not a pastor's kid, but my two children are!
Actually I'm an agnostic dad (he believed in playing tennis on Sunday mornings) and choir directormom's daughter.

So Aravis Kenobi --and all you PK/MK's out there, please would you give me advice to help me raise my PK's so they love God and know His joy and loving approval and wholeness no matter the ups and downs of living in a fishbowl? thanks
