"But as a mentally impaired Christian, she *thought*..."

Interesting aside about the Yate's family version of Christianity: it was informed and based on the twisted teachings of an itinerant "preacher" who used to frequent the Grand Rapids Michigan area where I grew up. Until he got run out of town on a rail by the local prosecutor who grew weary of this jack-ass' hassling kids and women on the streets. At the time, the plea bargain was fairly groundbreaking: get out of town and agree to never darken our door again in exchange for a suspended sentence. He's never been back to my knowledge, but I see that he's been a busy beaver, spreading his poison in other parts of the country. What a disgrace to the Gospel. What a stumbling block for those who don't follow Christ. We may never know how many more lives this "evangelist" has touched for the worse, but here's one of his prize "students" and her handiwork for all to see. Plus, as an added bonus, we get to watch the spectacle of Rusty appearing on all the "important" chat shows, exihibiting an appalling and disturbing demeanor in the face of a loss that most of us would find absolutely debilitating.

I agree - a total disgrace. I also believe I may have run into either him (or otherwise someone just like him), on a university campus I attended in Florida. Was he ever in Florida?

In Michigan? Now THAT is something I'd like to hear more about. What was his problem with women and kids?
