I cannot imagine there's any chance that any black group has a more significant problem with ministers and molestation than any other group. And according to government research, a white person (and I am mostly white) is 70% more likely to commit the crime than a black person.

Pelathais SLAYED HIM ... and I agree ... he would not make a good anemone.

Thanks for posting this link, Renda. The videos of Donnie McClurkin could be preached in any organization and across any racial line.

The bottom line is that he said he was looking for love. Love! That's all people are looking for. How horrible when the church fails in this area.

If you wanted to make a big deal out of the wording of his post, so be it-- but what you got from it and what I got from it are two different things.

Original Statement by MOW:
"I am personally aware of this type of behavior among some black preachers. This on the "down-low" behavior has affected far more than we'll ever know."

I suppose you're welcome to take that however you like.

But I could say the SAME THING about the UPC, Southern Baptists, and other groups I've experienced. It's JUST NOT FAIR to limit this statement to a group of black people.

Wow. I'm amazed. Why would ANYONE [man] want to fool around with alot of little boys/teenage boys? Especially if your making millions?

I don't have ANY respect to sexual sin, but I can personally understand how a man could mess up and have an illegitimate relationship with another woman/women, ala Tiger Woods. I don't condone it, and it is sin which be judged. But personally I'm just saying I don't think it an amazing thing that a man whether in weakness or just on an ego trip finds someone realtivly close to their own age and of the opposite sex and gets themselves in trouble.

But to go and 1)pay for relations 2)and that with a male or male prostitute and 3)underage or even children

My. There is enough "mess" in Christianity, if it wasn't for the Lord, and a relationship with Him, I personally would throw in the towel and give up religion.

Between the legalists, the prosperity preachers, the outspoken moralists who are then exposed in gross sin, and the hateful attitudes of so many self righteous folks who ARE NOT filled with the love of God, I can COMPLETELY understand/empathize with those who outright reject Christianity.

Those things said, if we reject the sacrifice of Christ, based on the actions of others, we do so to our own peril, for we are ultimately responsible for the decisions we make, not the decisions of others.

Very well said!

I don't believe he did limit it.

You are exactly right and too bad some are not willing to do that.

I've disagreed one time with him and I was scared to death. It's hard to argue with someone that smart. And then, when he gets mad, it gets ugly!

It's the only group he mentioned. That seems fairly limited. He didn't say it was a problem in many religious groups, he said it was a problem with black preachers. He even said, later, that this is a problem that people in Long's church knew about....not specifically Long's alleged actions, but the fact that it's a problem in black churches.
