Pastor Uses Blog to Expose Web Ad Promoting Pedophilia
Caution... This article contains descriptions not suitable for children

(AgapePress) - A support group for "gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth" in Virginia is being accused of encouraging illegal sexual interaction between men and boys.
Atlanta Pastor DL Foster recently noted on his personal web log that the Richmond Organization for Sexual Minority Youth (ROSMY) had an ad on its website endorsing pedophilia. The ad asked "all ROSMY men and boys" if they wanted "to go to some of Richmond's hottest gay clubs for free" or "educate men about the importance of safe sex and condom use."
Shortly after Pastor Foster exposed ROSMY on his blog, he says the group took down its ad.
"[B]ecause young people are vulnerable, because they are at a place where they can be taken advantage of sexually by older men who are already in the homosexual lifestyle, I just find [that type of thing] alarming, right on its face," the pastor exclaims.
Foster heads Witness Ministries, a group that helps those in the black community who have unwanted homosexual issues. Since using his blog to expose the group's ad, the pastor says he has heard from individuals like "Mark," who used to attend ROSMY youth groups.
"What Mark said, and I quote, was that at times they had guys up to 24 with 14-year-olds. He said the topics were always highly sexual, and the truth is, we had a lot of sex afterwards," Foster continues. "He said that he was 14 at the time, and this was three years ago."
ROSMY is receiving financial support from Wachovia Securities, Capitol One, GE Financial, and Hunton & Williams. The group's event coordinator, Gregg Johnson, refused to grant an interview for this article.
Why am I not surprised. I suspect there's a similar organization (funded by taxpayers or major corporations) in practically every major city.
I share your suspicions.
What Credit Card Companies/Banks ARE GOOD to do business with? Can anyone say for sure which have a good record and no bad connections.
Good point. It's just too bad that all it takes is an organization to be introduced to a large corporation with a 'good intention' cause (which is anything but) and these corps are all to eager to contribute without even a slight investigation. God knows they have the money to do so. One has question, do they believe in these dark organizations?
