The New York Daily News reports a Christian pastor in New Jersey is commanding his church leadership to get off Facebook because he says too many congregants are using the social tool to cheat on their spouses.

The Rev. Cedric Miller, at Living World Christian Fellowship in Neptune,N.J., has issued an ultimatum to roughly 50 married church officials: delete your Facebook accounts or resign. Miller said that over the past six months, some 20 couples at his church have sought his counseling for infidelity problems because either the husband or wife had reconnected with an old flame on Facebook or were using the site as an online singles bar to pick up men and women.

“What happens is someone from yesterday surfaces, it leads to conversations, and there have been physical meetups. The temptation is just too great,” said the pastor who plans to preach about the subject on Sunday, but concedes that, while the associate pastors, deacons, minister and other leaders must follow his orders, he can’t tell the congregation what to do.

Miller had asked married church members to share their passwords with one another, but that solution didn’t seem to be working.

Divorce attorneys are not opposed to Facebook because it’s good for business. Eighty-one percent of the nation’s top divorce attorneys say they have seen an increase in the number of cases using social networking evidence during the past five years, according to a recent survey of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML).

Facebook is the primary source of this type of evidence, according to 66 percent of the respondents.
