Liken it to an oddball cult. A cult is not a job. Now you may go to a cult meeting at the cult campground and they may give you a tent. Still not a job.
You can be a member of the cult if you follow the rulez. (drink red kool aid or whatever). You don't have to be part of the cult but if you want to be a part of the cult you have to follow the cult rules. Now the cult could CHANGE the rules and the leader may attempt to do so. It is my prediction that it could accelerate the death spiral of the cult. That's fine. Just sharing my opinion. We will see.
I follow you and agree.
Under all the current rules, it would be difficult to support children.
Its just like saying a low paid McDonalds worker shouldnt have kids. But the McDonalds worker has a chance to make more. The priest doesn't. They'd have to change that somehow.
