All credit for this story finally being broken goes to a lady named Amy Smith who in the face of great personal cost to herself, refused to remain silent about the cover up at Prestonwood Baptist Church and the lies of pastor Jack Graham.

| Jack Graham, Pastor Prestonwood Baptist, April 2011 |
"In 2008 Graham, a former SBC president, said in 40 years of ministry “never have I had one moral problem with a staff member, until now.” But Smith says Graham, who began his ministry at Prestonwood in 1989, was head pastor when Langworthy was asked to leave. She says Langworthy admitted guilt and begged to stay on through the summer for a youth choir trip....." http://www.abpnews.com/content/view/6634/53/ (Quote from article by Bob Allen.)

He molested boys and calls it sexual indiscretions????
ReplyDeleteThe Southern Baptist would be better served to stop hiring all the effeminate men.
Someone needs to ask why so many people in Jack Graham's family are on the payroll at Prestonwood Baptist.
ReplyDeleteHA we know why don't we?? His kids won't be on food stamps-he makes sure of that. He lives in a mansion and his kids got a free ride. The rich congregation doesn't care. It is a swap meet at PW-if you know what I mean. I real meat market-that is all.
DeleteThe hand has been played. It's over Jack. Fold 'em. Walk away.
ReplyDeleteThis is outrageous.
ReplyDeleteI am flabergasted! I was looking for a church when a friend told me to attend this church. My friend said, you gonna love this church and pastor Jack, He is Great!! As I am googleing this church a very umpleasent surprise! What is going on with sick people and children and everyone else?!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless us all

I don't know if this post will even get published, since I am not a member who is filled with hate and venom. I have been a member of Prestonwood for years, and have been impressed with Jack Graham's teaching and knowledge of the Word. There are no perfect people, and no perfect churches and, frankly, I have seen much worse "cover-ups" (if that's what it truly was) than this in all kinds of churches or organizations, schools, etc. (Used to be with DHS, so have a bit of experience). I'm wondering what the author of this whole site's goal is, since it appears to be to eliminate Jack Graham from ministry. What level of perfection does the author have, not to mention what do you expect from others? Would anyone measure up, or is it just jack Graham who is your target?
DeleteTalk about flabbergasted! His whole family isn't on staff, and those who are have the education and ability to perform their jobs very well. I've been in many churches of varying denominations, and have to say there is so much ministry going on at Prestonwood, real ministry, and I have talked to people who have all degrees of opinions about such things as the Komen-PP debacle, or issues regarding homosexuality, etc.; all major issues facing every type congregation, but I haven't heard any hate, any cruelty, certainly no racism, or lack of kindness and caring for all. Perhaps the Langworthy case wasn't handled perfectly, but no church can be judged on just one situation, especially such a large church.
I assumed my post would not be printed, and I was correct. I came to this site hoping to find what other Baptists might be thinking regarding the possibility that Newt Gingrich would be running for President. Instead, I find you are far more concerned with destroying Jack Graham than you are making certain we have a viable Republican candidate running for President this year. Hope you are as amazingly perfect as you expect others to be!
DeletePeople like Jack Graham don't need any help from me in destroying their testimony. When the Jack Grahams of the world continue to cover up homosexual child abuse because it helps their wallet, they rain destruction down on themselves.
DeleteGraham is responsible for every single one of John Langworthy's victims. You know why? Because they all occurred AFTER Jack Graham facilitated the original coverup of John Langworthy's homosexual abuse of male children at Prestonwood Baptist.
Langworthy had two child victims at Prestonwood. Then due to Jack Graham's help in covering up those crimes, John Langworthy went on to homosexually molest many more boys.
And you want to say "maybe Jack didn't handle the Langworthy situation right"??? Excuse me. Jack Graham participated in a cover up of a molesting homosexual's crimes.
You want to give that kind of behavior a pass?? No wonder the world hates Christian's when they see you making excuses for what Jack Graham did to help a child molesting homosexual stay in the pulpit.
