Texas: Plano man Joe Barron, 52, a minister at Prestonwood Baptist Church near Dallas, was arrested after driving nearly 200 miles to Bryan to meet who he thought was a 13-year-old girl he had been chatting with sexually online for roughly two weeks.
The girl was actually an undercover agent leading police to Barron and his car, inside of which they found condoms and a web-cam. He had been with the 26,000-member church for 18 months; they said this was the first incident of this type with Barron.
Executive pastor Mike Buster said, "We are disturbed and saddened by the reports we have heard and we are praying for the Barron family," adding that they are giving police their full cooperation. He is currently out on bond from Brazos County Jail.
Oh! Was that the old Henry Butts Oldsmobile location? That was some huge campus there. After Henry died, his worthless children ran the company into the ground and they finally went out of business. I must take a ride out there and see if that is the same place.
Yes, Park Cities Baptist has a huge complex on Northwest Highway on the south side between Hillcrest and Preston. It’s been a good while since I’ve frequented that area myself, but I think they added a large parking garage recently. They are the ones with the traditional architecture and the lighted clock tower. I think they lean toward the moderates, rather than the conservatives.
On the north side between Preston and the tollway is Northwest Bible, which also has a fairly large facility, including a new sanctuary.
If I seemed to be picking a fight, I apologize. That was not my intent. The message was an expression of my general frustration at the unequal treatment of the Catholic Church in the news media. Sorry for the offense.
Lovers Lane UMC is also on Northwest Highway...
Naaaaaa. A wood chipper would be better.
That is liberal mdia bias showing through. It is not molestation, it is homosexual activity. The links I listed showed that as well.
The media has its agenda and part of that is protecting it,s own homosexual members.
All three groups are wrong, but only one is really covering up and only one is really takinga hit.
Thats the one I was looking for, Thanks for posting it.
Do you have th eone that shows the numbers higher in Prot clergy?
I’ve been in Lover’s Lane UMC. I did a craft show there once, many years ago. No, it’s Park Cities Baptist that I was confusing with Prestonwood.
I’m old, I get confused easily - LOL.
I’m not the one making the claims.
Nor, am I declaring them false.
I’m simply asking for something to back up a claim of assumed fact, other than the biased bristling that so often seems to follow such declarations.
I know, for you, thst might seem like an unreasonable request.
Actually radio hosts Opie and Anthony did do that to him, sort of. They brought him into the studio and had him sit down next to some cookies and lemonade. Hanson said it was quite intimidating and he did not have any cookies or lemonade.
No problem what so ever. I get your point.
