The article clearly states that adultery was not the reason. However they refused to reveal what the motive was, for now.

Going by the photo...I'd say he was just too big for that lil'thing. Maybe she just got tired of being crushed.

All the cable shows must be sending out their investigators.

This will give Gristle von Whatever at least two months material (Preachers' wives run amok!).

Why would you say something like that?

Southern Church of Christ are some of our most reliable conservatives.

This is not United Church of Christ.

Geez...what are some folks really after on this forum...??

That was not an "automatic assumption" at all. I cited two cases that were adulterous and ended by saying that it may not be adultery or spousal abuse, indicating that we don't know yet.

Every time I look at these little girls, it seems there is a sad look.
I hope they release more information soon.
There is so much speculation out there and we hear so much about child abuse.
I heard someone today say their church is a cult.
My daughter-in-law went to the same college this couple did, her father is a minister for the Church of Christ, in fact, he knows the young ministers father. They are in no way a cult. I think of lot of good people will be hurt by remarks like this.

He was obviously a very bad man.

May I inquire as to what you base that statement on?

Not necessarily a guilty father, but there is some body language going on in the photo.
