1. It was a major event in old time Oneness Pentecost. A major pastor resigned.
2. The resignation and circumstances were public knowledge
3. The hope was that pastors and saints reading of this would take steps to protect themselves and their churches by making sure there was accountability regarding finances, etc if they have not already done so.
Was there ulterior motives? The only one I can think of is that I would like folks in old time Pentecost who practically worship their pastors to think about that. They should respect and honor them but not revere them to the point that they don't make sure their church is protected in case the man forsakes his walk with God and leads a double life in moral failure and abuses church money, etc.
There is another account of moral failure in a ministers family recently where it was common knowledge that the pastor who left suddenly with no warning took a lot of church money with him. The local paper said the amount was $750,000. This is not TB but the point is that any church set up with the pastor alone having the ability of raiding the bank account of three quarter of a million dollars is just nuts.
Yet another case within the past year was one of a pastor who himself was not accused of moral failure but was embroiled in a family one where he was widely thought to have defended a child molester. After this cost him many saints he decided to ago ahead and retire. As a parting gift to himself he personally cashed the churches one million dollar insurance payment for storm damage and kept it. I know the church was taking legal action to get it back but again so sad that these churches run like a dictatorship by a pastor had no controls to protect them.
So carry on with your weeping and wailing that this situation was not swept under the rug like it was in the old days but I have absolutley nothing to apologize about for starting this thread. I started it at the request of someone connected to that church by family in the past. You and tv1 are going to get along great!

was all I seen in "RON" s post....he has NO idea about TB and what he did and how he TOLD OUT OF HIS MOUTH ...he would not marry or condone interracial couples...wow, thats a real godly pastor!!! This was to a family that was already married and had been in church for many years.....I dont care what color you may be....a REAL pastor will never say that! CC1...you are right on track and I appreciate the thread as many others do. I think many people....I being one of them AT FIRST, was and still are very dillusional about TB. A preacher does NOT fall over night, like a robber dont wake up one morning and decide to go steal......its been there for many years....rather active or just ferminting. I have seen that many will come forth and defend TB, but like I said....he only got caught back in Oct. 2012....so what was he hiding 13 years ago??? This is reality!!!! Btw...he found his new BB ... TV1..birds of a feather...
