For the second straight day, a 46-year-old former minister from Tallmadge Township admitted molesting young boys. Tedd Butler pled guilty to reduced charges this morning in Ottawa County Circuit Court stemming from a 2006 incident at his home that led to his August arrest. The ex-pastor of Gospel Light Baptist Church in Walker confessed in Kent County Circuit Court yesterday to similar charges dating back more than 20 years ago. Butler will be sentenced on January 23rd in Grand Haven and January 31st in Grand Rapids.

Good thing Tedd Butler is a Protestant, otherwise this crime would have been covered up.

Quite a few Baptists say they are not Protestants.

It needs a more up-beat title, say, “ A Millstone for Teddy”?

You're in dire need of a dose of reality as well as numerous clicks of elevation on your front sight.

Many of the non-Catholics abusers are covered up. Why do you think we haven't heard about them?

Interesting links to Catholic propaganda sites that keep track of other denominational sins. Wouldn’t it be more scriptural for the Catholics to keep track of their own sins?
