Would you stay under your pastors leadership regardless of their acts?

I know everybody sins but should we hold our people of the cloth to a higher standard? Is there anything your pastor or church leader can do that will make you leave from under their leadership? I've attended a few churches and I find it quite ironic how quick some of us are to forgive preachers or church leaders and pretend everything is alright and continue to stay under their leadership. Let me say that I am not condemning anybody, but should we act like puppets with a puppet or pulpit master leading us after we find out the sins they committed, and I'm not just talking about lying. Would you stay under the leadership of your church leader if they were caught in a homosexual act, or got someone pregnant  or got pregnant by someone who is not their spouse, or disowned their children and grandchildren, or seen in Vegas gambling-(eight skate and donate), or seen making it rain in a strip club and I don't mean on their knees asking for it to rain either, or having a girlfriend in another city and paying her bills with church funds sent by the church secretary, or recently divorced but still teaching you to stay married when you've already made your mind up to get the hell out of dodge, or telling you not to smoke while you see a pack of Marlboros in their shirt pocket, or telling you to diet and exercise while you see them at the Chinese buffet going back for thirds with a mountain of food on their plate with gravy dripping, or tells you not to drink alcohol while they are sitting in the corner of a fine restaurant with a bottle of 1991 cristal on ice, or they tell you to give your rent and car note money while they drive up to their mansion in a rolls drop top, and what about the home you just bought and ask them to bless it, soon after they ask you for $150.00 for doing it. I could go on but I'd run out space. I'm sure you get the picture. Should we say, "everybody makes mistakes" just forgive them and stay under their leadership even if they are preaching and feeding us the Word, or should we look at them as wolves in sheep clothing and find another means to worship?

There is a scripture for that. Can't remember where but I remember it saying something to the effect that those who preach the word is under tight, tight guild lines They must adhere to. and the they must walk a slim narrow line. If and when these ppl vear off the path and do the things you spoke of the punishment is great. even a deacon must go through strict teachings, and under the same strict rulings as a preacher. But as far as your question well if ol boy is doing all that what you said: 1) He must resign 2) Refocus or re commit himself in the lord. 3) Show and prove he's worthy to be a pastor of this church.
There's plenty fake ppl in this world dont be one of them.

I would not stay under ANYONE'S leadership if they don't have a high level of integrity... preacher or not.

No.  There's nothing Christ-like or spiritual about what you described in your post. 

I wouldn't even consider this type of person a pastor, regardless of what he and others call him.  It's sad that people now associate church and pastors with these types of behaviors!
