But if he is, he won't be the first preacher who has engaged in this type of behavior.
If you listen to what he said, he said that he was not the man being portrayed on TV and he did say that he was going to fight it. That could mean a lot of things and certainly doesn't mean that he is innocent. His words need to be compared to others in similar situations who first denied then when the truth came out, they were guilty. Once again, I hope he is not one of them. It just doesn't look like that to me. Those of you who have no close friends in different cultures really won't have a clue as to what I'm saying. Again, I'm not saying it's widespread, I'm saying it's been more common than what some believe.
It's too late pray for his innocence.....I pray for truth to prevail. I just really hope that truth vindicates him!  |
MOW, I know what you are saying and Mr. Smith, he's right. It's a very common thing to hear of this in my area. It's on the news all the time. All denominations of course, but it's an issue that I hear a lot about with COGIC being headquarted here in Memphis.
I will also say that it happens to all races. However, the "down low" thing seems to be a huge issue right now in COGIC.
One incident supposedly happened here in Memphis at the Peabody.
