Any pastor who was interested in saving souls rather than ginning up some publicity with moral preening wouldn’t be writing “open letters” to anyone.

That’s going to leave a mark, and I agree on who the victim is, but I agree with those who say it should not have been done in public. Pastoral care is a private matter when dealing with a troubled family.

Is this guy the family’s pastor, or just some publicity-seeking leftist?

If you ask me that whole Turner family needs their soul’s saved. Look how they raised their son. Look how they keep defending his horrific actions. Sound like church going people to you?

Sounds to me like a pastor calling out sin for a change.

As John Wesley said, a Christian must always defend, never attack.

A pastor’s job is with the sick, not the well.

He’s the dude that served 3 months in jail for 3 counts of sexual assault after raping an unconscious woman. The corrupt judge is still on the bench.

Have followed this story from the start. That whole Turner family is sick!! Their son rapes an unconscious woman. Dad calls it “20 minutes of action” So..that is what a Christian father does? Dad is all up on the Judge saying what a good son he is, he does this and that and all. No he did it and he should take responsibity for it. In fact to hear the father talk, that is where he learned to treat women like garbage. I personally think this family needs to visit this Pastor or any pastor....they are truly sick.

Sounds to me like none of his business. Open letter means “Look at me!”

Maybe because he was released a few days ago?
