Sleazy Baptists in my neck of the woods.
August 16, 2011 at 2:24 pm
A voyeuristic pastor evades jail time due to statute of limitations.
As of right now the two scumbags are still pastors of
this church. Here's hoping the victims sue them right into the poorhouse.
Quote:"The people who found out the truth and left (the church) were painted from the pulpit as being evil, called such thing as Satin<sp> worshipers and vile people," Cochrane said. "These are people who found out the truth and could not sit there and listen to someone who was lying to them and covering things up."
The last sentence, is that irony or just plain old funny?

"Sleazy Baptist" is redundant.

False. My mechanic is a Baptist & is a truly good person. He knows I'm not a Christian & doesn't proselytize or treat me any different than he treats anyone else.
He's also helped my Plymouth last over 300k miles. That may qualify him as a miracle worker, not sure.

Well, I'd say that amounts to as close to a real life miracle worker if ever I've heard of one.
Wish my Chevy knew your mechanic.

This story just gets better & better.
Quote:The voyeurism allegations are not the church's only problem. Berean Baptist filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2010. Court documents show that the church was more that $6.5 million in debt, with money owed to more than 50 creditors.
Time to shut 'er down boys!

An update to this story.
Sleazy pastor is claiming he had nothing to do with the video camera set up in
his office. Notice the facial expressions on the sheep behind him? Total delusion.
