Speaker 1 (00:23):
It is letta subject My Holy Lover's daily life, a
double life, My Holy Lover's double life. Dear Stephen Shirley,
I'm in the three way love affair with a man
that is my pastor and my marriage counselor. I went
to my pastor a year ago to get spiritual guidance
so I could stay on the street and narrow in
(00:44):
my marriage. I was thinking about cheating and had one
foot out the door. My pastor is married, so I
meet with his wife on Wednesdays for spiritual guidance, and
I meet with them both once a week to overcome
the boredom in my marriage. Over the course of a
few weeks, my pastor found out about my past life
(01:05):
as a dancer, and he used it to his advantage.
He told me that if I can make amends with
my past and put it behind me, I would be
able to be a happy housewife. He told his wife
that it's best for its best that he and I
do one on one sessions, so I started seeing him alone.
(01:25):
He had me do an interpretive dance for him, which
is basically a strip tease without taking my pants off.
I could tell he was aroused, so I lost my
mind temporarily and went over to give him a lap dance.
From there, we went back into the closet of his
office and I closed the deal with him. He's been
(01:46):
paying me for dances for the last three weeks, and
not only did it fire up something in me, I
realized I am sitting on my real moneymaker.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Although I'm thirty six years old, I'm.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Still in great shape and I have all I need
to get the bills paid. Pastor is a lot happier too,
and he has told me that my marriage will never
work because my husband lacks self esteem and can't deal
with a sexy woman like me. I love my husband
and the stability that he provides, but the pastor is
well in doubt and makes me feel like myself again.
(02:20):
My holy lover has a double life, and I'm so
confused about what I should do. Should I end my
affair with my pastor? Hmm? Should you end your affair
with the pastor? You ask, well, you know what they
say if you got to ask, and I'll answer you
this way. Do you want to go straight to hell?
(02:42):
Is that what you're aiming for here?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Straight?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
There?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Is that what you're trying to.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Do because you're stripping for your pastor? Okay, I don't
know if you've completely wrapped your mind around that. Of course,
he of all people should know better. I mean not
only that instead of leading you to Christ, he's corrupting
you in the worst way.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I mean, nothing about this is right. You know this.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Nothing about this is godly, Nothing about this is Christian.
Nothing about this is helping you in your marriage. Nothing.
It's just wrong on every level. I mean, there's some
things in life that you should know that you should
not do, and this is one of them. There's nothing
redeeming in this letter, and I just got to say
it again. You're stripping for your pastor, your lap dancing
(03:30):
for your pastor, your married pastor, the same pastor who
talked badly about your man said he had low self esteem,
can't deal with a sexy woman like you?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Or excuse me, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Was that supposed to be counseling that he gave you
when he talked about that?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I don't know. This is terrible.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
He's in no position, this pastor, to give you any advice.
And I don't want you to be confused any longer
because you say you're so confused about what you should do.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
You got to stop this.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Okay, pull yourself together, girl, think about what you're doing.
You gotta break up with this pastor. This is foolishness.
Have you even considered that his wife may come in
his office at some point or your husband may find out?
How are you gonna live that down? I just don't
understand what you're doing. This is craziness. You gotta You've
gotta let this go. And the pastor does not need
(04:19):
to be a pastor.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Steve, my holy lover's double life. To me, this letter
is a lot about the pastor that's got a lot
to do with her, but it's a lot about what
It's a lot about both of them. Uh, just Stephen Shirley,
I'm in a three way love affair with a man
(04:41):
that is my pastor and marriage counselor. What come on,
he's your pastor and your marriage counselor. You're in a
three way love affair with your pastor, Messter. So he
done counseled you. He thene counseled you right into his arms.
(05:03):
That's the counseling he did. I went to my past
a year ago to get spiritual guidance so I could
stay on the straight and narrow in my marriage.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Now listen to this.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
I was thinking about cheating and had one foot out
the door. You told him the snake the serpent that
you was thinking about cheat.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
You know what he heard?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Oh she want to step out. Oh I'm counseling this here.
So then you said you had a foot out your door.
Your pass is married. So you meet his wife on
Wednesdays for spiritual guidance. Now this is wild Wednesday's right here,
because you go down there on wild Wednesday to meet
(05:54):
with his wife for some guidance. Indeed, ain't nobody giving
you information that you need once a week to overcome
the boredom in my marriage?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Wait?
Speaker 4 (06:05):
What, I'm confused? You go talk to another married couple.
To overcome the boredom in your marriage, but you leave your.

Husband at home, right.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I don't understand how you accomplish getting over boredom when
you got When you're taking up time to meet with

meetings a week where you could be at the house

today's Struwberry Letter. The subject my holy lover's double life.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
My holy love is double life, and YO double life too.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Hell, I'm at a three way love affair with a
man that's my past and my marriage counselor.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
So he then counseled you right into his arms.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
I went to my past a year go to get
spiritual guidance so I can stay on the straight and
narw in my marriage. I was thinking about cheating and
had one foot out the door. You told the snake
in the grass that you didn't know was making the
grass yet, that you was thinking about cheating. H.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Duly noted.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
H. Then your pastor is married too, so you meet
with his wife on Wednesday. We're gonna call you wild Wednesdays.
All wacky Wednesdays. We having a whack a meeting with
the pastor's wife, which obviously ain't nobody giving you no
valuable information in none of these meetings, because all your
meeting that led to is an affair with the pastor
without his wife.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Because then you said.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
You meet with them both once a week to overcome
the board them in your marriage. Over the course of
a few weeks, your pastor found out about my past
life as a dancer, you told him see you the
gainors due all he needed. Let's think about this. You
told your husband your boed, you told your pastor your board,
(08:53):
You then told your pastor you was thinking about cheating,
and you then told your pastor you was a dancer.
Me mean, that's the trifecta. He got it all lotterybels
going off. I told him my past like I was
a dancer, and he used it to his advantage. You
(09:13):
add that into the fact that you want to cheat,
and you bore it at the house and we got
a problem. He told me that if I could make
amends with my past and put it behind me, I
would be able to be a happy housewife. I don't
understand that counselor at all, but okay.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
He told his wife that it's best that he and I.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Do one on one sessions and hard damn.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I thought that was good.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Okay, so I started seeing him alone he had me
do as soon as you got to he had you
do an interpretive dance for him, which is basically a
strip tease without taking my pants off. This is so
you could come to terms with your past and be
a better housewife. When he asked you to do the dance.
(10:04):
I could tell he was a roused. Well, if you've
given him a lap dance, you're gonna be tell.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
You're gonna be able to tell. Yeah, you're gonna tell
like you know, like it ain't like you psychic. I
can tell you that right now.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It's stupid.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
The lap dance. I could tell he was a rived
like you like like like you like.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
You a psychic or something. I can tell you right there.
Anybody would have been in there, would he knew that?
Tell a dude sitting next to him at the strip
club know that. Man. Anyway, I could tell he was
a rous So I lost my mind temporarily and I
went over to give him a lap dance. And then
(10:48):
from there we went back into the closet of his
office and I closed to deal with him. Now this
old food been paying you for dances for the last
last three weeks, and not only did it fire up
something in me, here we go, I realized I'm sitting
(11:09):
on my real money maker.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
He that asked you to come.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
To terms with your past, and obviously the thing you
came to terms with was he that brought it back
to kurrent. So now what you used to do he
got you now doing for him, because guess what, although
she said I'm thirty five years old, he been paying
you for dancers for the last three weeks and.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I'm thirty six.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
I'm still in great shape and i have all I
need to get the bills paid.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
I thought you was in there for Madge counselor. You
ain't said nothing about you was broke. You did not
mention you was broke. So now somewhere in the.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Counselor section session, you told him you was boring. You
told him he was thinking about cheatney. You told him
he used to be a dancer, And somewhere in there
you to mention you ain't got no money. And he
done told you you need to resolve your past. So
now he got you bringing your past to the prison.
Now you think you're finna be a full time stripple.
(12:09):
Pastor is a lot happier too, And he has told
me that this pastor dog your marriage would hit. My
marriage would never work because my husband lacks self esteem.
Kate deal with a sexy woman.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Like me, but he can't. Of course he paying. I
love my husband and the stability that he provides. I
thought you was broke. What is you dancing to pay the.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Bills for if you love your husband and the stability
he provides. What kind of letter is this? It don't
make no sense, but the pastor is weil in diet.
It makes me feel like myself again. My holy lover
has a double life, and I'm so confused. You got
one too about what I should do that. Here's the
(12:57):
golden line in this whole thing. Shit, I in my
affair with my pastor. Lady, how does sound to you?
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Right?
Speaker 4 (13:08):
