Missing N.Y. Pastor Found in Ohio Strip Club

Let’s tone it down. A pastor’s life is full of everyday stress to be “perfect”. To quote an old Indian proverb: “Never judge a man until you have walked a mile in his moccasins.” To quote Jesus: “Do not judge lest you be judged”. I don’t condone this man’s behavior, but I certainly understand reaching a breaking point. My old pastor used to talk about stuff like this. You spend your whole life preaching and teaching being “good”. After a few times of feeling like “no good deed goes unpunished” you sometimes come to a place to where you say: “I’m tired of being good. What has it gotten me? I want to be BAD ... just for a while.” Fighting the good fight is a FIGHT. Daily. Maybe we should offer to pray for this guy, his family and his flock.

Like, *PING* ,folks.

"Demon rum"...?

Maybe we need a new slogan:

"Got a little Pastor in you..."

And the guy's name?

Rev. Craig S. Rhodenizer, 46

Make that Craig S. Womanizer?

Cheers!

Tone it down?

[Xenalyte]

You can quote Kipling.

Marry me. Damn the law.

And please disregard a) my husband and b) all the FReeper guys I’ve said that to.

[Slings and Arrows]

Eliot Spitzer's spiritual advisor?

[ovrtaxt]

Was this Elliot Spitzer’s pastor?

Any YouTube fun and games yet?

[4yearlurker]

I guess that whispering little devil on the good pastor’s shoulder is to blame.

[Little Bill]

I would marry you IF, your husband approved, and you could do a to the death broad ax fight at nine months. My GGandfather said, Indian wars in SD in the 1870’s, don’t get captured or wounded.

[Xenalyte]

Well, FWIW, I was in a duel to the death last season - my opponent (my cousin Lucrezia Borgia) and I were tied together at the left wrist, and we had daggers in our right hands.

But it ended with her brothers dragging her off me, and my Conquistadors restraining me. So some practice with that axe will be in order.

Of course there's a photo. There's always a photo.

Susan Rhodenizer reported her husband missing Wednesday after he said he was going to a Best Buy

Considering where he ended up, was he lying?

[org.whodat]

Police said that when the Rev. Craig S. Rhodenizer, 46, was confronted by an officer, he began crying and said he couldn't remember anything about the 36 hours he was missing.

LOL, that's his story and he's sticking to it!

[org.whodat]

So if drive with out-of-state plates and visit a legally operated establishment (no matter how much the local politicians may dislike it), you are a police target?

I would like the cops to explain probable cause on that one to an honest Judge, if there was such a thing???

[flaglady47]

“Considering where he ended up, was he lying?”

Actually, unless this guy has a history of being an alcoholic, it sounds to me like he was/is on the cusp of a nervous breakdown. Sure sounds stress-related to me. On your way to Best Buy and you end up at a stripper club in the middle of the day when you were supposed to be back home in 30 minutes? Sounds like a spontaneous brain blow-up for no good reason. Sounds like a breakdown of some sort. Hope he gets help and gets well.

[Little Bill]

Girl stuff, my cousin Halvar the boneless dragged me into many a brawl, though by nature I am peaceable man, and respect the right of any man to speak his spleen or loose it.

It seems that you took the Green Dress after these upsets. It seems that a protector was needed and some training and may you get both, some people never get a second chance.

[investigateworld]

I still miss the late Rev. Sam Kennison. sniff

[xp38]

Sounds like an American version of the Monty Python dirty vicar sketch.

[toddlintown]

“said he couldn’t remember anything about the 36 hours he was missing.”

I hate when that happens.

[toddlintown]

The stress was probably induced by Windows Vista.
*********

LOL. Ain’t that the truth.

[2harddrive]

WHY didn’t he tell the police to get lost? After all, it’s not like he committed a crime....he just ran away!
