Lawrence Welk and Alice Cooper? Alice was a bit odd, but Larry crossed all boundaries of strange. Weird with a capital "W"

LOL! Yeah, I was a big fan of his too.

But anymore, the "church" is often also used as a baskekball court, gymnasium, concert hall. I remember having "church" on a Sunday morning literally just hours after a punk concert had been held in the same space. The lines are kind of blurred. And where else is a "church" going to be able to have a "concert" except usually in a church building.

Anyone else ever heard the phrase.
"Have you ever been attacked by a Wolf(e)"?
Enough said.

You just better hope you're never falsely accused because if you are, your name just might appear all over a forum like this.

I don't guess you'd ever consider the possibility that Lanny Wolfe was in the wrong place at the wrong time and that an officer made an arrest that wasn't warranted. Hmmm.....that's never happened, has it?

A few years ago in the state of Illinois, the governor temporarily suspended the death penalty because so many on death row had been cleared by DNA evidence. My friend, it IS possible that a person can be falsely accused and the fact that you automatically assume the worst is sad.

I agree, Irreligious, it would be horrible to be falsely accused. But if I was Lanny Wolf, or any well-known singer or songwriter, and those accusations had been made against me, I would not stop until I had done everything I could to clear my name, and get the truth out there. As far as I know, LW didn't do that. That's telling.

It seems to make sense, but if he did that, people would say that he was WAY too defensive and if he was innocent he would just let God be his defense. I mean, I've actually heard people say, "Wow, all that guy does is defend himself...sounds guilty to me."

In fact, people in the sports world constantly say that about Roger Clemens, in his steroid case. He never stops defending himself. But they also condemn Barry Bonds for never defending himself.

In the end, people are going to condemn no matter what. It's our human nature. But I would just hope those that have been "filled with the Holy Spirit" which is more powerful than our human nature, would put aside the condemnation. Obviously, I'm hoping for too much.

IRR,
A more relevant version of the above may be,
"It is particularly disappointing when the prosecution system of the United States has a higher ethical code than the church, and has to (attempt to) nail someone whom the church should have already disciplined, but due to favoritism and cronyism did not."

It's easy for you to generalize about how to take the HIGH ROAD before you know the greater context of this scandal. Check the archives for some background (some firsthand) circa 2/2007, since you are so concerned with defending the innocent.

My high road?
This: apply I Tim. 3:1-13 to ALL PAID MINISTRY, without exception. Ministry should be a privilege, not a right based on talent.

I see. So I take it you have absolute proof, both spiritually and literally, that Lanny Wolfe was in violation of biblical truths and therefore should have been punished?

Excellent theological and scriptural insight.

Jesus said, "Out of the mouths of two or three WITNESSES let every word be established." He didn't use the duck analogy.

Huh? I don't even get the sarcasm, and what is the duck analogy?

Are you referring to YOUR previous challenge, which I wasn't even addressing here, and didn't refer to in any way?
