1. I already called and asked why they would support someone
who was lewd with teenage boys. I doubt if I will get a call back.

4. call em
It is unbelieveable that you would be proud to advertise that you have a pedophile attend your services. It is further appaling that you are proud to have such a person pose with little boys and advertise it on a church webpage. A church that claims to be from God.

I am a Christian and a Baptist and would NEVER use my church to promote politcs or a pedophile.

(772-335-8899 or 772-335-9237. Someone will visit and pray with you. )



I tried to pray with them about their problems, but got no answer

9. I just did.
I kindly asked them to have someone revise their web page because it was loaded with pics of a pedophile. :) I may call back and ask them to remove the offensive alcoholic (Bush) off their page also. LOL!

10. Note that, in that photo, Foley's left hand is right in the toddler's
crotch! What a weird way to hold a little one - seems to me it would be much more natural to have his hand around the kid's waist...

13. Sorry, that's really reaching
Foley's pose isn't suggestive of anything except a quick photo op.

Please note, folks, that Foley was interested in teenaged boys, not prepubescent children. There's a hell of a lot of psychological difference between a pedophile that molests children who have NOT reached puberty and someone who is attracted to sexually mature teens who are nearing the age of adult legal status. One does NOT imply the other.

Until very recently, adult men could marry girls as young as 13 or 14. Culture changes, as does "acceptable" behavior. What Foley did is illegal and sleazy, and currently unacceptable in our culture, but it's not as "unnatural" as some of the expressions of disgust imply.

12. But using his logic I hope he
now knows the reason for all those recent Florida hurricanes. Remember his views on NOLA?

18. kick for the daytime crowd, with UPDATE:
it seems that they have shut down their web page....

for those who didn't see it: at the top of the pagfe it said "God and Country," and there was a big photo of Bush for them to worship...Scrolling down a bit was a picture of Foley with two young boys (his hand poised strangely near the toddler's crotch), with the caption,"Mark Foley takes some time to interact with our children"

20. Well, that's the first proof I've seen that Heritage Baptist Church ...
... "got the word." I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the Pastor's office. I'd say the congregaion is undergoing some stress ... torn between trying to remember Foley's "Church Youth" activities and circling the wagons to "protect one of their own" (and that sure wouldn't be a teen-aged boy).

21. Thanks for that.
I would have loved to have been there to see their expressions when the pastor was listening to our messages on the phone.
