I cared for his son in the nursery when he was just a baby and I was a child myself. He is in all my first memories of a real church family. However...he was also the one who abused my mother. She is the victim you are speaking of in your blog. He destoryed my family but not my faith. He is an evil man hiding behind a saints persona. I can only hope that he will get what's coming to him when he leaves this world and goes to the next.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-88098977702055082592010-09-12T20:38:14.947-05:002010-09-12T20:38:14.947-05:00I don't want anything more to do with "or...I don't want anything more to do with "organized" religion,"<br /><br />Me either. So much of it is tainted by those who think they have some special anointing over others. Pastors today remind me of the Levite Priests of the OT that so many prophets railed against in Israel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-38431887664769961272010-09-12T05:14:09.757-05:002010-09-12T05:14:09.757-05:00I am so sorry this happened to you.

I don't want anything more to do with "organized" religion, though I am a follower of Christ. I really have never felt comfortable attending church - this is probably why. I was picking up on the vibes of evil men who use God to hurt innocent people. God help them. I can't imagine what is facing people who do these things in the next life as Jesus said there will be severe consequences for anyone who hurts His little ones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-26980260949581582872010-09-10T15:11:05.189-05:002010-09-10T15:11:05.189-05:00Christa, I'm so sorry.

As I've mentioned before I know all too well the double mindness as my dad who is still preaching sexually abused me got and continually gets more protection than I did. I agree with Kari. Some of these men are going to stand before God and He is definately going to say he did not know them because they refused to stand in the truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-10935940002156833482010-09-09T21:21:02.763-05:002010-09-09T21:21:02.763-05:00Christa, wow.

It is tragic and unspeakable what happened to you, and you are my hero for standing up for truth and justice for yourself and other innocents. You have my deepest respect.<br /><br />That this happens again and again in Christian denominations is putrid, and I'm reminded over and over that many will say to him, 'Lord Lord' and he will say 'I never knew you'.karihttp://peregrinebynature.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-85143295713342924682010-09-09T10:36:50.988-05:002010-09-09T10:36:50.988-05:00Here's an excerpt from the Church web site:
...Here's an excerpt from the Church web site:<br /><br />"A Place to Call Home"<br /><br />"We are glad that you have found our website. We hope that you will find these pages informative, helpful, even inspirational. <br /><br />We realize, of course, that a web page can never substitute for a personal relationship.<br /><br /> It cannot rejoice with you, cry with you, pray with and for you, or celebrate life with you.<br /><br /> But this website does tell you about a church that is willing to do those things and even more. <br /><br />Consider this site, then, as our invitation to come walk alongside, to worship God with us,<br /> to learn together what it means to be faithful to God's call upon our life in Jesus Christ." <br /><br />Are you saying that they are not being truthful?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
