Agents from ASP and FBI agents raid the Tony Alamo Ministries compound Saturday in Fouke, Ark.
At least they haven't carted all the kids away this time.
Wonder if Alamo will spin the media just like Warren Jeffs’ lawyers did too...

You guys remember good ole Tony Alamo, don’t you ?
Jeanne Philyaw, who lives next to the ministries’ property, said the raid “was a long time coming.”
“I’m on the edge of tears. It’s both for joy and frustration,” she said. “How can people not know what was going on with Tony Alamo’s history?

Can someone expound on this for those of us who have never heard of this guy? Thanks!
He and his wife used to live in Nashville. He owned a famous clothing store, The Alamo. When Susan died I remember seeing him on tv, crying and saying she was going to be resurrected. He’s a true wacko.
From Wikipedia: "Did you know that the Pope and Ronald Reagan are a couple of Anti-Christ Devils and that they are selling us all down the drain?"
His web page is enough to supply any conspiracy theorist for a lifetime. What a con man.
“In October 2007, Tony Alamo Christian Ministries was listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center on account of its anti-Catholic rhetoric.”
Thank you for posting this article.
I wonder if anything will come of this?

Child pornographers and pedophiles need to be flayed alive... I support the death penalty for such people.
HOWEVER, having said that.. polygamy does NOT cause pedophilia or kiddie porn. The overwhelming majority of these pervs are monogamous or not in any relationship.
Lets just keep our facts straight.
(2 Pet 2:17-22) “These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. {18} For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. {19} While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. {20} For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. {21} For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. {22} But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.”

Child molesting charges on this level usually turn out to be baseless.
