And people wonder what I have against some "followers of Jesus"... 🙄
I'll show you what I have against them (well, one thing).
This part I have a bigger problem with.
"According to court records obtained by Cedar Rapids-based CBS affiliate KGAN, Marvin Smith IV, the Harvest Baptist Church’s current pastor, argued for bond last year by writing that Webb is a “great citizen,” and a “great man in the community,” who would not pose a flight risk. The state disputed that characterization by pointing out that the defendant had searched for how to obtain a second passport just weeks earlier.
I agree. I find these "pillars of community" have really become problematic as of late; for all the talk about drag queens and groomers and such, the "holy men" were getting a pass because they were seen as beyond reproach. But over the last few weeks, I have seen clergyman after clergyman arrested and charged with molestation and other deviational behaviours. Reminds me of being catholic as a young boy. I wasn't molested by them, but boy, I knew some who were.
The Southern Baptist Convention released a list in 2022 of the pastors in their ranks who had been credibly accused of molestation.
The report was 205 PAGES. Not 205 people, 205 PAGES OF NAMES.
@Heucuva8 @XaoslordErie why were they still pastors!?
That sounds like a very good question that you should ask by calling/writing to the SBC:
