NBC News uncovered a 50-year pattern of sex abuse, silence and cover-up in the world’s largest Pentecostal denomination.
A children’s pastor was caught filming girls in a church bathroom in Arkansas. Elders suspended him for a few weeks.
In Illinois, a preacher was accused of sexually abusing children. Church leaders sent him to therapy rather than call police.
In California, a worship minister went to prison for molesting boys. His congregation threw him a party when he returned.
All of these men remained in ministry in the Assemblies of God, the world’s largest Pentecostal denomination. All went on to abuse more children.
You aren’t being candid. You are being rude.
Nothing you say wlll have any value given your attitude here.
At least I’m not actively part of the fucking problem.
your original statement:
Because when I pointed out that your comment was irrelevant- the AG allows it’s pastors to marry- you decide they’re not “mainstream” enough.
Then you insist that the baptists, methodists, and lutherans aren’t abusers at the same rates the catholics are… which is also false.
Then you insist that I’m being ‘ignorant’ and ‘rude’.
even if my comments have no value here… at least my comments aren’t harming people. being a bystander harms everyone except the abusers.
