“Ohio televangelist ‘forced members to have vasectomies and abortions, told women to treat pregnancies as tumors and allowed children to be sexually abused’”

Gamecock...don’t know if Earnest Angley qualifies as Megachurch but I remember his tv ads so he’s not small affair.

[a fool in paradise]

Maybe he could find work at Apple or Facebook.

[dfwgator]

Always knew this guy was a fruitcake.

[IronJack]

There’s a difference between “encouraged” and “forced.”

[gdani]

Ernest Angley is one of the creepiest hucksters to ever come down the pike. And I said that before these allegations were ever aired.

[SampleMan]

So what’s the issue, violation of church and state? Sounds like government healthcare to me.

[Lee'sGhost]

This guy is still alive?!

He HAD to be the role model Robin Williams used when spoofing evangelists.

Yeeaassss!

[LucianOfSamasota]

I have never heard of this guy.

But I know the press LOVES to promote any story of hypocrisy or open sin regarding church leadership.

So I wonder whether the allegations are true, or just a smear campaign designed to isolate and destroy a particular Christian ministry?

But I’m the guy who still thinks all those allegations by low-class tarts regarding Herman Cain were just David Axelrod sponsored agitprop designed to remove a legitimate threat to Obama’s reelection campaign?

It gets harder and harder to find the truth in these stories, but its a crying shame when Christianity gets this kind of press whether the minister is apostate or not.

[tumblindice]

Nice rug Ernie.

[narses]

Another self proclaimed “prophet” - another argument against Sola Scriptura.

[arthurus]

Forced? Like with whips and chains and stuff?

[Buckeye McFrog]

played an active role in encouraging male followers to undergo vasectomies, and also monitored the results.

thank you for sparing us the details...

[Prospero]

Wow. Angely is still alive? I thought that odd ball "assumed the position" a long time ago.

I learned a long time ago, also, not to judge a book by its cover, but from Jesus, as reliably reported by an eyewitness, also said something about knowing a tree by its fruits, and elsewhere, "A stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.” From the Gospel according to John, Chapter 10.

[Don Corleone]

Sort of limits growth and future expansion plans doesn’t it?

[Fido969]

[laweeks]

I knew he was a phony faith healer when I noticed he couldn’t regrow his hair or give himself a neck.

Talk about creepy . . .

[CharlesWayneCT]

I remember watching his show and laughing back in the early 80s. “Put your hand on your Television Screen, and receive the blessing”.

Damn, now my TV screen has handprints on it. Is that the blessing?

Sorry, his accent was funny, what he said was hilarious.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

This guy has always been odd, but he didn’t “force” women to have abortions and men to have vasectomies. Anyone who did based on his interpretation of Christian teachings is just as nutty as he is.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

What kind of a idiot follows this guy and does what he says?

[GeronL]

Televangelist Ernest Angley has been accused of running an Ohio church where men are forced to get vasectomies and women abortions, and where children were sexually abused.

Another fake Christian who was following the money it sounds like
