Two Toledo, Ohio-area pastors were arrested by the FBI early Friday morning on charges of sex trafficking of children.

In a release, the FBI Cleveland Division said Cordell Jenkins, 46, and Anthony Haynes, 37, were both arrested at their homes. Investigators say Jenkins and Haynes were "knowingly recruiting, enticing, harboring, transporting, providing, or obtaining a person (s)" that they knew was under 18 to "engage in commercial sex acts."

The Toledo Blade reports Jenkins is the founder and pastor at Abundant Life Ministries in the city of Toledo. Local TV stations have also identified Anthony Haynes as a pastor at Greater Life Christian Center in Toledo.

Both men are facing charges of sexual exploitation of children. Haynes is also charged with obstruction of justice. They were both scheduled to appear in federal court Friday afternoon.

1. Normally, I'm against the death penalty. They haven't been

Convicted yet, but these cases are very hard.

2. How can that possibly be, if they know what the penalty is?

Add this to the heap of people I'm sure don't believe the shit they peddle.

3. But are they pacifists?

Inquiring minds want to know.

4. True. Many unanswered questions.

I mean, perhaps they might still qualify for "progressive people of faith" if they volunteer at a soup kitchen?

5. And do they offer legal services to the poor?

They could be good candidates for the PPoF series.
