I would go back to a UPC church before I would eat that.

Good grief. And I mean that sincerely.

Remember the night he resigned...his words....There is alot of things I would like to say, but the board wants to take care of that! He never got a chance. Even if a man fell and slipped, it does NOT negate all that he has lived, preached, taught, counseled, prayed with you, and LOVED the church with everything in him. How quick we forget.

"Slipped"? That's sugarcoating it to say the least. Slipped would be a lapse in judgment. An unguarded moment. A foolish decision in the heat of the moment. No, this was systematic, habitual, premeditated, weaving an intricate web of deception for years of immoral behavior and stealing all the while projecting himself a champion for holiness standards and the denomination. And he said plenty the week before. He said "you will find questionable things in 54 years, as I would yours". He draws a moral equivalency by basically saying "we all sin" to water down the severity of his sins and hypocrisy. And then he goes on and on about jackals and how they should be shot. And then encouraged everyone to turn to their neighbor and ask them, "Are you a sheep or are you a jackal? They'll already know." So he got his chance to come clean that day, but he chose to try to demonize those who knew the truth about him and called him on it. Why would the board want to trust him to say more after that sham? Did he love the church? After promising to build a new building and raising funds for years and years, with nothing to show for it but an opulent lifestyle and nepotism? Is stealing money from and deceiving a congregation love? Or was it love of self and the lifestyle, the late night expensive steak dinners, the lavish vacations, the houses, the cars, the clothes, the wealth? Give it time, maybe the board will still present something more, maybe they're just trying to work through it.
