All bad stuff... no good in it...

But all this is also preparing for when they come and haul off a church full of pentecostals and paint the news waves with how they control they way their children dress etc...

The press can make you look like they want to make you look and America is getting a pretty hefty appetite for watching the "weirdos" being carted off.

To much wrong has been done in Christ´s name...It is amazing how dumb Americans really are.
I have made it a point to visit different so called church communities and one thing I do know...those that claim to be Jesus in the flesh or some doctrine like that have people so brainwashed that the people would do anything to please their Jesus.
Cults prey on people with mental problems, people that suffer depression, people that have just had a loss, people that have weak personalities, etc...America is running over with people like that.

It's already started in my neck of the woods.

A 40-year old Oregon UPC member/teacher was arrested for sodomy 3 and sexual abuse 3 two days ago. When will the madness stop?!?

I'm surprised this did not make AFF headlines. :D

This kind of thing is frightening...I can think of several abuse (all different kinds) situations that came out of this particular church...surprised the media has not picked up on it.

I am sure it will soon. THEN we can start talking how the pastor of this church will get off because of the "Good ol Boys club"! LOL

This is one of the strictest churches in Oregon.

I tell my people beware of those that always preach against everything...something is wrong...

I know one place where they don´t even read newspapers...yet some of the most horrible works of the flesh I have ever seen are in their mist...

DEAR FRIENDS...beware...don´t mistake the outward "show" for real Godly holiness...
When sermons are on clothes and women all the time make no mistake somebody´s heart is wrong...

I plead for balance and love...

Is that the same one that taught them the world would end Oct. 31, 2007 at midnight?

We really need a REAL Holy Ghost revival in many places...for too long men have controlled and sin has been swept under the carpet...
As long as there is a one man show something is wrong.
Power goes to people´s heads and many times turns them into abusive controllers...
and I am not against pastors and learders for I am one but I am against the tought that the leader is some kind of god over the people.
Jesus is our example...notice His leadership. He was kind and forgiving and the only people He was hard on were those that were hard on others.

Never mind it is. Hmmmm wonder why they are still here. But in his own words he is the son of god so he can change his mind I guess.

That story is about a family that prayed instead of taking their daughter to a doctor and she ended up dieing. It would seem that if you're not a baptist, methodist or catholic you get painted as a nut case. IMHO.

The pastor will get off, I assure you...he's on the District Board.

I'm curious to know if this guy had a previous record? Because the Oregon District UPCI adopted a HUGE policy several years back that deals with previous offenders not being able to work with youth, in fact, a background check is supposed to be done on anyone working with underage people on a District level...not sure how it affects the local church though.
