UPC Pastor Convicted of Slander in Pulpit!

[AreYouReady?]

Yes, Amanah, that link is where I found this thread located. In fact, when I was trying to locate a certain minister, I also found what was said about him on this site.

Not intending to "dig up bones", but the real fact here is that much was said and it IS STILL on the internet for all to read.

Not trying to tell the forum owner what to do (it's his/her forums, they can do what they deem to be necessary) but it might be a good idea for the administrator to just remove the entire thread if people do not want "bones being dug up". As long as it remains up, someone will stumble upon this thread on the net in the future.

Likewise, it would be good if the author of the spiritual abuse website would update the outcome.

AB is correct. Let's be real here... cause I'm too old to pretend otherwise. If it was most any other Saint in the church who was convicted in a court of law for defamation of character, they would have been sat down on the pew by the pastor for a long time. They would have been an embarrassment to the Pastor and to said church.

Then, I would suggest not bringing it up on this forum. Let that site do its updates and keep yourself and others here out of harm's way by not mentioning anything further here.

There's a difference between stumbling upon it and responding to it, correct? Just because one stumbles upon something doesn't give it the okay to respond.

Like Jay, I would agree that this thread should be closed. Enough said about it.

There may be a difference in "stumbling upon and responding" as what you say, but just remember, you all were the ones who posted 117 pages of this and to expect people not to post responses after you all did your postings is not even reasonable... unless it is closed to further postings. It is still up on the internet and there will be people from time to time that will see this and post their opinions. Like it or not, that is the way this cyberworld turns.

The administrator has the power to remove the thread or to close the thread from any more postings.

Actually, I like it when old posts are resurrected rather than new ones being started. If this one was closed all someone else would do is start a new thread titled "Whatever happened to the pastor who was convicted?" and bamm, we would be off again.
