Why is it that some people are so quick to grab and display that title without being ready to actually hold it? I am in a group of 481 "clergy" and can honestly say that there are so many in this group who have no tact, are rude and disrespectful or have no diplomacy to actually stand up to the title.
You cannot represent yourself as clergy but then act like an ass as soon as you open your mouth! Those two things don't go together. That doesn't make you clergy. It is only a lonely title that you have no idea of how to represent it. Anyone can have a title, it doesn't make you anything other than exactly who you are.
I have found (specifically in this group) that many are not fit to hold the title and need to be evaluated as such. They are not fit to teach or lead. And it makes it hard for those of us who are out here trying to walk our talk and actually be the role of clergy in our community.
Come on people, get over yourself. Your spiritual path is about you. Your clergy status is not about you, it is about the community and the people you serve (in the community!). You want to join a club and be cool, go back to highschool. You want to serve in the eyes of the goddess and walk and teach her people? Then humble yourself and do the job. Live up to the hype.
