He had a similar scandal with a teenage boy in the Chicago area as early as 2 years ago and was asked to leave the church.

No, because some will overlook sin to be entertained.

So right! Some of the same people that will drive miles and miles to listen to someone sing will hardly go to church on church nights.

acharris,
I'm not here to attack you Bruh,but try to understand that LW was in the UPC for probably over 30 years.A lot of people here know the whole history and i think what bothers a lot of people is that his sins involved young people and the fact that little if anything was done. I went to JCM myself so I have a little insight.
Perhaps if Lanny would make some type of restitution?? I don't know really

Here is an interesting thing...you say this has happened. It was known and little to nothing was done. So the man was and is hung out to dry and branded for life....what happened to those people that looked the other way?

No they are not saying anything about over looking sin. What is wrong with you all? I can understand what he is saying. He is asking honest questions...has this man repented? If so why not give him a fair shake? Some say he has not repented? HOW do you know? I see rumors and gossip of the kind that has been condemned on this board before.

Was LW given a chance to not just come clean but to receive healing and restoration? Or was he immediately ostracized? Why would the man attempt to reconcile to a group that he feels don't want him anyways? I don't know what is true or not, but I do know I have seen some hateful attitudes towards people that were or are homosexuals. Adulterers we can fix....drug addicts we can fix....porn addicts we can fix...fornicators we can fix....gays seem to be persona non grata, no matter how much they say they are saved and repented.
