In the Catholic Church, once a man has received ordination of the diaconate, he cannot marry.

Being a deacon doesn't exempt a person from paying taxes, to the government or any other kind of tax.
Some relevant verse in the Bible:
Matthew 22:17-21 Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" .........................................And He said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
Romans 13:1-7 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God...............................................Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience' sake. For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing. Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.

Why do some deacons run off the pastor when they don't agree with him even when its in the bible?
stuff like that happens,
Not every person in church is a true Christian that actually comes to church to worship God. Some come to get a date , some use church as a social club, some come to hold positions of power. Not everyone's motives for going to church are "good". Churches try to pick "righteous" people to serve in jobs like being a deacon and we can only go by what we hear people say, or how they appear to us. Only God knows the intent of a persons heart, so churches try to pick Godly folks but we can't read minds. Often times the title of deacon goes to a person's head and when they don't agree with the doctrine of the pastor, don't like the pastor, or there may be a real problem with the pastor, then pastors can get run off. If a church is very open in it's business then the people should be informed of issues between deacons and pastors, it should never be behind closed doors. Going to your churches business meeting may help you get these answers. Some pastors choose to stay and fight, but some just decide to leave because they are tired of fighting with people that don't use the Bible as the rule of law instead of their own desires. The Bible should always be the true doctrine, not the deacons or pastors opinions....

the age of 75 years. The current deacon chairman, the pastor and three of the most
recent deacon chairmen nominate Emeritus Deacons. If approved by the board, the
nominees are presented tot the church for approval. Emeritus Deacons would not

such, would be entitled to vote.

How are deacons voted on in the freewill Baptist church?
In the Free Will Baptist Church, deacons are typically elected by the congregation during a business meeting or a special election. Nominations may come from church members, and candidates often undergo a vetting process to ensure they meet the biblical qualifications for deacons. The congregation then votes, usually by secret ballot, to select the individuals they believe are best suited for the role. The process emphasizes prayer and seeking God's guidance throughout.
