The “Bishop” needs to go to prison and learn first hand what sex abuse is really all about.

According to this report, Obama used Bishop Long's jet when he was campaigning for President. Can you imagine the headlines if this guy was a Palin supporter.

The “Bishop” needs to go to prison...

Someone posted on an earlier thread that in GA. the age of consent is 16.

It sure looks like there's something to these accusations, since there are at least 4 of them now. I hope the Elders are real Christians and throw the bum out if the accusations are true.

“The “Bishop” needs to go to prison and learn first hand what sex abuse is really all about.”

Just as soon as he’s found guilty of any wrong doing, I agree with you. But he should step down temporarily, effective immediately.

Well he won't go to prison because he did not commit any crime. These young men were not underage when they allegedly "engaged" in these relationships. If true, then this pastor should certainly be disciplined but by his own congregation. The legal authorities have already declined to press charges since no "child" abuse has been claimed.

Now, I do wonder why these young men are suing since it certainly sounds like they reaped plenty of goodies from their involvement (trips, cars, nice hotels, good eats, etc.). I'll be curious to see if any judge will even let the lawsuits proceed seeing as how nobody is claiming illegally forced actions. I can't help but think they might be seeing dollar signs based upon the Catholic Church's clerical abuse lawsuits. Greed is in play, I'm sure.

Where there's smoke, there's fire so my opinion is this guy is a big hypocrite and God is proving once again, "Be sure your sins will find you out.".
