My own childhood molester was a long-time children's minister at the First Baptist Church of Atlanta. He was able to work at FBC-Atlanta even though there were Southern Baptist ministers in Texas who knew about his abuse of me as a kid (and one of whom ultimately swore to that knowledge). From Atlanta, he moved on to a couple churches in Florida, including the prominent FBC-Oviedo. As an adult, when I was trying to assure that he wouldn't be able to hurt anyone else, I notified the GBC because, at that point, I had tracked his career to Georgia. But I got absolutely no help from the GBC. It was as though they had never heard of him. In hindsight, realizing what prominent churches he worked at, I find it impossible to believe that no one at the GBC knew whether he was still in ministry (which he was) or knew where he had gone. And I find it shameful, callous, cold and cruel that no one in the GBC gave a hoot about the need to protect other kids against a children's minister who was known to have sexually abused a kid in Texas.Christa Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560409585720043015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-78670940161643827842010-12-18T10:30:31.682-06:002010-12-18T10:30:31.682-06:00This is a fact we have been reading since Doug pos...This is a fact we have been reading since Doug posted against that GBC Executive officer and the Pastor from Ga since 2007 and received that proclamation, <br /><br />The Georgia Baptist Convention is full of deceivers and deception. A fact that even the Ga Baptist Pastors and lay know, but won't and can't fight.<br /><br />There is only TWO guys I know that have stood against them and who the GBC fear.

One thing I found interesting is that CBS Atlanta did a PREVIOUS story on Fred Lee back in October before it was known he was pitching his scheme at churches (I provided the link to this October story by the same reporter), and there you see that this guy has a LONG history of mortgage shenanigans all the way back to 2002. So how a pastor could stand in front of his congregation and say this man "walks in integrity" thereby exposing his flock to a potentially fradulent mortgage scheme, is beyond me.<br /><br />As I said in my article, I am watching and waiting to see how long it takes the GBC to issue a proclamation against mortgage schemes in churches (as they did against critical bloggers in 2007), and how long it takes them to dis-fellowship Hawkins' church like they did to the two churches in the GBC who did committed the dastardly deed of hiring female pastors.<br /><br />I'm sure I'll be waiting a long time. <br /><br />Thanks for the tip on this story.FBC Jax Watchdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740366031265491559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-73518397042411148812010-12-15T11:31:29.284-06:002010-12-15T11:31:29.284-06:00This is why if you're a religious person, I th...This is why if you're a religious person, I think it's good if your non-religious relatives or friends are told of some great thing you heard at church. They can more easily cast a skeptical eye upon it.<br /><br />Or at least get some friends from other churches in other denominations. Stop being such an easy mark for these people.<br /><br />That's my advice for people in the pews.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
