MOBILE, Ala. (AP) -- An Alabama evangelist who terrorized his family while impressing audiences at revivals was convicted Friday of murdering his wife and storing her body in a freezer for years.

If he really wanted to impress ‘em, he could just pop the wifesicle out at his next revival meeting.
They moved around a lot had no roots..I presume she had no family or no family that cared.
I heard that he wanted pasta for dinner but all she gave him was a cold shoulder. HAHAHA!
isn’t that one of the Wayan brothers?
Hopkins has denied killing her, saying he does not know how she died, but that he tried to keep her body preserved because he could not stand the thought of her decomposing. He said his family continued to live their life together, preaching and going to work, after his wife's death.
While the stepdaughter told jurors that Hopkins jumped up and down on the body to make it fit in the freezer, Hopkins denied doing that.
!!!!!!
He said his wife's body "fit snuggly," though "I did press the freezer down."
I am guessing something like this.
The article conveniently leaves out any denominational references.
“He said Hopkins “kept to himself,” and apparently moved from place to place. Neighbors called him “Rev.” because he attended church so often, loading the children into a van.
Police said he preached at various churches and did not appear to be affiliated with a particular denomination.”
So this guy is not a Reverend/Pastor and isn’t tied to any denomination.
He is however a drifter
Wow! Lamestream media really goes out of their way to smear Evangelical Pastors by claiming this drifter who isn’t a Rev./Pastor is one.
Your denomination has enough problems of its own. Why do you feel the need to trash other denominations?
Yes, there are sinners among Evangelical denominations, even terrible ones. Just like your particular denomination.
Let’s exalt Christ, and not demean denominations of which we’re not a part, yeah? You don’t “win” by trashing Evangelicals. You “win” by being in Christ.
See post #29
He isn’t a Pastor/Rev , he has no church that he is affiliated with .
He didn’t belong to a denomination.
“tiki” is Roman Catholic. S/he was just getting a dig in on those who don’t belong to his/her denomination. I was challenging him/her not relish the sins of others, but to strive to exalt Christ instead.
LOL. Close enough!
Guilty!
Your denomination has enough problems of its own. Why do you feel the need to trash other denominations?
did I miss the mention of any denomination????
There is no reason to bring James Carvile into this discussion...
Yeah, I can see the compassion there.
Wifesicle...LOL!
Has anyone approached Woody Allen for comment on the stepdaughter angle yet?
