FULL TITLE: Texas youth pastor accused of sexually assaulting at least three kids gets beaten up by good Samaritans as he molests child

A Texas youth pastor who has been accused of sexually assaulting at least three kids was beaten up by good Samaritans as he molested a child last week.

Willie Bell, 29, was caught in the act attacking a 6-year-old kindergarten student behind an apartment building in Dallas on March 31.

"If it wasn't for them, he probably would have done more to my child,” the child's mother told Fox 4. "It's painful. It's devastating. It's a nightmare."

And there would be a certain group of catholics on here dismissing it.
I would think on this issue everyone would be on the same page.
There is ZERO room for this in the church.

I am an agnostic so I don't have a religious horse in the race, but from what I have seen the main difference is that the ones that are not Catholic use it as opportunity to to indict the entire Catholic institution for every crime imaginable.

It may be due to the rcc downplaying the seriousness of this issue.

Hey Elsie your claim to be a Methodist.

Dang!

I've forgotten just WHERE I typed this.

Could YOU provide the PROOF for any lurkers who might be investigating me?

FReeprs is this the same United Methodist that I'm always posting abortion related material about?

You're doing the postings, so you should be doing the investigating.

as opposed to the non-catholics lining up and tripping over themselves to indict this individual.

Why are you making this Catholic vs Protestant? It’s about the thug that did it.

In the Catholic world; the problem has been the leadership hierarchy shuffling the offenders off to a different location to apparently avoid legal problems.


In the Prot world; judgement tends to get handed out a bit sooner.

Not trying to. Just making a comment about those on FR who like to use Catholics as punching bags.

I'm SO glad there are no Catholics on FR that use Prots as punching bags.

No, it’s a preacher who got much less than he deserved.

The youth pastor has also been accused of molesting two young boys in Cedar Hill in February while wearing "church shoes," according to the station.

United Methodist Church of North Texas says it is cooperating with authorities and has no knowledge of criminal acts at the church, Fox 4 reported.

Not trying to speak for CC here, but there is a certain group of FReepers that would be screaming to high heaven if this had been a Catholic Priest.

Not trying to speak for TC or v or Vlad here, but there is a certain group of FReepers that probably are high-fiving that it is NOT a Catholic Priest!

Of course you can expect at least one response to be: Hey pointing it out in other does not excuse yours.

You might consider calling the rest of the Prot Posse.

I can handle you guys.

No need to bug the others.

That's what the book says.


Ephesians 5:3 New International Version

But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people.


In the Bible that Rome gave us; in every iteration thereof; it says the same thing.

Heck; it's even in the one that Mormons use; too.

**Just making a comment about those on FR who like to use Catholics as punching bags. It’s a “human sin” problem, not a denominational one.**

The issue is not denominational.

The issue is the associated coverup.

Since you are failing at reading our minds, let me fix that for you:

Not trying to speak for CC here, but there is a certain group of FReepers that would be screaming to high heaven if this had been a Catholic Priest who when discovered, was been moved from one diocese to another.

See the difference there?
