The teenager was hospitalized after her most recent encounter.

I will never understand something like this. If you, at least, halfway believe what the Gospel teaches, why would you harm somebody in this way?
You’re going to be held accountable for the harm that you did.
May he spend many years in prison with his back to the wall.
My family no longer has anything to do with church buildings or the people in them. We celebrate the Lord in a family home setting.
If only pastors were allowed to marry.
It seems all the wolves are attracted to these positions, insane.
“...and her family is now in jail...”
Johnny Law is tough in that towel.
I am not sure. Objective results are hard to get.
What I know is that any case like this gets a lot of media exposure.
Mostly, because media are trying to put the Church down, so they got the idea to portray it as a bunch of sexual deviant.
Vermin like this disgusting POS deserve to be “field stripped” and then hanged from a tree.
I told my pastor I did not think I could stand up to the temptations he was offered.

If this man is actually saved, he will weep bitter tears before God when he has the TRUTH of his sin forcefully recounted before Jesus.

As much as you like or dislike Pence, he was correct when he said he followed the Graham rule, never be alone with a member of the opposite sex.
If you are a twisted pervert..you have to go where the children are.
Churches,school and camps.
Pretty sure this man is a meth head. Meth addicts are about the craziest and most depraved people around.
Anytime you have young people gather for any reason, boy scouts, girl scouts, church groups, priesthood, soon you will have the perverts and predators circling trying to find ways to get to them.
Often they find the best way is to join the group, work themselves into a position of authority, and then it begins. When this happens they blame the group.
It does not help when the government forces these groups to accept the perverts.
Agree.
He is a good man.
There are bad apples in every profession.
Any religious who offers “counseling” is automatically a fraud. The great saints did not offer “counseling” they offered the word and laws of God.
Much of “psychology” we see around today has departed from science, and become a post-modern cult religion. America’s leftists who want to defund police are instead demanding government “counselors” and psychologists be sent to deal with society’s dyfunctions.
If i were her father, i would kill him. In Texas, i might even get away with it.
“The Man Just Needed Killing” is a valid legal defense in Texas and has worked...
