He has admitted to sending the text messages to a select few. And I don't care in what context you read them in, they are innapporpriate for a Pastor to send to a female! Of course he has lied to the rest of the congregation because he thinks that "99% of that congregation is too stupid to come in out of the rain" and those folks, are exact words out of his mouth!! This man has a past and this is not the first time these accusations have been brought to light but then quickly brushed under the rug by weak minded deacons that can't do their jobs and force the acountability on this man like they are empowered by the congregation to do! Shame on the deacons and God Bless those that finally brought this into the light. I support the husband and wife that stood up that day and brought forth this circus 100% because they are putting the Lord's law above all regardless of what it has cost their family!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-82082163332832290962009-04-07T09:04:00.000-05:002009-04-07T09:04:00.000-05:00"That is exactly what a wolf would do...hire a PR ...<I>"That is exactly what a wolf would do...hire a PR person."</I><BR/><BR/>Yeah... and the amazing thing is that, in Baptist churches, they usually hire their PR person and their lawyer with offering plate dollars. What a deal, huh? So the pastor typically has a ready flow of cash to use for bullying and intimidating any who raise questions... and for whitewashing it all in the media. Meanwhile, the poor souls who try to bring truth into the light of day don't have a ready supply of offering plate dollars. <BR/><BR/>Is it any wonder that bullying and intimidation tactics work so well in Baptist churches? Most people just can't afford to fight back against an organization that has such ready funds. And even when the occasional person tries, when a church raises the spectre of legal action against "dissenters", it certainly helps to assure that any others will learn a lesson and will keep their own mouths shut.Christa Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560409585720043015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-49277637210538763192009-04-07T00:54:00.000-05:002009-04-07T00:54:00.000-05:00And those who excuse it.And those who excuse it.ochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910693449008506409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-14915126648195832772009-04-07T00:51:00.000-05:002009-04-07T00:51:00.000-05:00And you know what else Anon 11:38?I would love to ...And you know what else Anon 11:38?<BR/><BR/>I would love to know what you would do if one of your loved ones <BR/>were in this position. I know what I would do if a "man of God" or ANYONE else were texting my loved ones with sexually harassing messages. I wouldn't let it go with an "internal investigation". I wouldn't let it go with a bunch of yes men excusing the pastor just because he's the pastor. I wouldn't sit still for the cover up. And sorry to say, I wouldn't even be satisfied with breaking his texting finger.<BR/><BR/>If you would let this go without at least more of a challenge than the deacons review, then I wonder about your love for your own human family and your love for others in the family of God. <BR/>I know It sounds harsh. But I'm serious. <BR/><BR/>And furthermore, our "howling" is not "falling on deaf ears". Our "howling" is falling on His ears. And there's a reckoning coming.

No wonder the abusers continue get away with it. I'm sure there was no bias in that little reviewal process, huh? <BR/>How obvious does it have to be for you to "get it"?<BR/> <BR/>An analogy. Would you like to keep your position even though your boss is doing wrong? Then don't squeal on the boss or find wrong doing with him. He'll find out and make you squirm and maybe find a way to demote you, or even get you fired. And yes, the world has crept into the church that much. Whether you like to admit it or not. Get it?<BR/>Now, if there is "nothing to it", then why not have an outside "review". If there is nothing to hide, let's not hide.ochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910693449008506409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-5331897648657470822009-04-06T10:49:00.000-05:002009-04-06T10:49:00.000-05:00Note how he sought to get cleared by the church le...Note how he sought to get cleared by the church leadership real quick.<BR/><BR/>This is how it works.

If there was nothing to it, let him rant and then remove him. If there is some truth he sure did not want it read.<BR/>There seems to be a lot more to this than what the paper reported. Every pastor has to deal with anointed crack pots during his time. This just seems too clean for me. My police instincts say tell me more.<BR/>If it is false, clear him.
