1. Heard this one on the local news

I hope the book that gets thrown at this guy is carved on stone. He really needs to be put away for a very long time. This is sexual abuse of a minor, as well as emotional abuse, and spiritual abuse. Wretched excuse for a human being.

2. What an absolute douchebag.

3. Holy crap!

4. It's funny....

.... how news reports from across the pond tell us what is happening under our very noses here in the U.S. Thanks for getting the news back to us, shenmue.

5. You're welcome

13. What you see is LGBT press covering issues the Church Going press refuses to cover

It's not where they are, it is who they are that makes the difference in the reporting.

15. That's right...

In US red states, the Religious Press = the M$M. They are one and the same.
The black-out is blinding.

6. I would never have pegged this fella as a Sunday School teacher.... n/t

7. He seems over qualified.

16. Put a pair of washed-out...

... bib overalls on him, and he's right out of the film Deliverance.

11. He sounds like he belongs in the ex-gay movement

12. Where do evolutionary throwbacks like this come from?

14. There are no "warlocks" in Wicca.

A male witch is simply that, a witch.

I wish they'd have not mentioned Wicca in the article.
