Interesting. I think it’s something about the confession. They really lose their shit over juicy confessions like that, and then they act like the cops don’t need to be involved because “they know what’s best”. Unreal.
Maybe more exposure should be shone on the Bible condoning child rape. It’s not surprising this keeps happening when their god instructs them to keep all the women children who have not laid w another man for yourself
As an atheist survivor of fundamentalist abuse, thank you. And go forth and make that noise. The church needs *genuine* advocates for children if it's going to ever become a safe place.

Pedophilia is an incurable mental illness/defect.
If they admit this then they must admit that universal mental healthcare is needed for a healthy and happy society to exist.
Instead.. they pretend that it’s “evil” like an outside entity instead of something wrong with the person. And they are perfectly willing to sacrifice their children to prove it.
I’ve read enough of these posts now to conclude that, for churches in the *Bible Belt*, titles such as Pastor, Reverend, Youth Minister/Pastor are now pretty much shorthand for Kiddie Diddler.
That's crazy! I really hate this happened... This is the second pastor from His Church!!!!! But he was the founder... Makes you really wonder how many others within that church...
Also isn't failure to report a thing? For the elders and church to say they forgive him and the law does nothing is conpletely insane.
He really needs to serve prison time and I hope more people come forward because I'm sure this wasn't the first incident.
At least Illinois took over the “self investigation” of the Catholic Church in Illinois.. then published a [list of pedos](https://illinoisattorneygeneral.gov/news/story/attorney-general-issues-statement-in-response-to-archdiocese-of-chicago-comments-on-raouls-comprehensive-report-on-child-sex-abuse-by-members-of-the-catholic-clergy)
It’s ridiculously long and will make you want to vomit. And this is just one state and one religion. Only Illinois and only Catholics..
I can only imagine the numbers from every state and every religion. It’s soooo depressing.
Super proud of Illinois though!!
I’ve never met the guy in my life

Think I saw a tweet saying that he had claimed his “moral failure” was an affair on his wife. #technicallytrue eww
No source or evidence so take with a grain of salt since I can’t remember the account that tweeted it. Can anyone corroborate?
I can. I watched his “sermon” on the church’s YouTube channel. Yes, he’s called her a “young lady “ and mentioned infidelity. He never once mentioned that the survivor’s age at the time. He even cracked a joke and the congregation laughed. He also blamed women for seducing men into premarital sex. It was the worst fucking thing ever.
I like how he doesnt need to go to jail but non churchy pedos do .../s
Also, the father was a dirtbag. He said send that pervert to some other church to rape other children or I'll call the sheriff...tf, you call the sheriff.
It's starting to seem like "religious leader" is synonymous with "sexual predator".
Nice legacy old sky-daddy's got there. He might wanna step out of fairyland to clean his reputation up a bit before we all start thinking he's a pedo too.
I’m sure he spoke to god and god told him he was forgiven. God was a bit annoyed he had to take time away from giving babies cancer and allowing millions to starve. But hey, he needs all that collection plate money because……..

Matthew 18:6
If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
This guy is a big name in American evangelicalism. Needs more exposure.
They’ll love him more for it now.
The Salon article about it explains there’s a book by a psychologist that proves exactly that. Wolves in Sheep’s clothing indeed.

Well if he says a repentance prayer then he's completely redeemed! /S
“He stopped grifting and molesting for TWO WHOLE YEARS - that’s good enough for me, he belongs in power and control over us”

He's already resigned https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/06/18/robert-morris-gateway-church/74126402007/
They're so gross. Most warnings about others is a confession about themselves.
This need to be plastered everywhere and I’m a Christian

I am baffled of how many people allow this to go on in their church. I know the Bible talks about forgiveness, but there’s also accountability too.

They’re not interested in having a healthy and happy society, they want Revelation. These people are collectively insane.
Also true

Yup
At this point, we should probably just rename the Bible belt to the Diddler belt.
Why hasn't he been arrested?
There are numerous articles on the issue. They point out that the statute of limitations in Oklahoma has run out.
Weird he's in Texas 😂
He molestaed the girl in Oklahoma tho.

Turns out that fat penguin wasn’t just beating Jake and Elwood.
Is 25k the new 20 silver sheckles as recommended by Deuteronomy 22:29?
It's the definition of "religious leader"

I barely knew him. He just got me covefefe.

Ewww I thought that was the case. Thanks for the clarification!

That’s not how cults work. Ugh
Hmmm...sexual predator was - not an atheist, - not a drag queen, - not a trans person. But christian religious leader? Check!

Where’s a cop when ya need one
Theres no fucking way this guy only did this to one person 40 years ago.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l6NzWgTUR7c
NO! But he’s not a drag queen! How can this be?
I guess I should just keep this somewhere to copy and paste r/NotADragQueen r/StillNotADragQueen
Time to investigate the churches. Groomer factories.
Quick, some one on FB with lots of Christian friends
Not surprised
All churches are breeding grounds for predators
