Vile wicked Pope who protects child molesters attacks Donald Trump
I'm no Trump fan. Not politically anyway. But there is NO EXCUSE for a man who protects sodomite child molesters to involve himself in a political situation in the United States of America. We threw off the bands of Rome and are no longer in bondage to the sodomites of Sin City.
Take the wall down from the around the Vatican and throw out all the sodomites who molested little boys and THEN the Pope can talk.
Until then, shut up Francis.

Mobile, Alabama Catholic Archdiocese attempting to block subpoenas regarding sex abuse allegations against priest
Snip: "The Archdiocese of Mobile is attempting to block subpoenas related to sexual abuse allegations, according to court documents regarding Reverend Johnny Savoie. [Catholic priest.]
On February 16, 2014, Savoie told his parish he was being accused of sexual misconduct with a 16-year-old boy dating back to 2005.
The District Attorney's Office in Mobile County has said those allegations were never reported to them. But, Thursday evening, February 19, the Baldwin County District Attorney's Office released the following statement:
"In December of 2013 and January of 2014, the Baldwin County District Attorney's Office received notification, from an attorney representing the Archdiocese of Mobile, of allegations against Father Johnny Savoie. Based upon the nature of the allegations and the ages of the individuals involved, the alleged conduct did not violate any criminal statutes."

But guess what? One day the Judge of all the Earth will demand justice for all the children you have hurt.
Payday someday.

Contemporary Christian Music and Homosexuality (West Coast Bible College?)
When you look at West Coast Bible College and their embrace of the homosexuality-laden Contemporary Christian Music movement, ask yourself, who was Chairman of the West Coast Bible College Music Department?
Contemporary Christian Music and Homosexuality
(Complete article by missionary preacher & author David Cloud is at title link.)
In The Gospel Sound, which first appeared in 1971, Anthony Heilbut said, “The gospel church has long been a refuge for gays and lesbians, some of whom grew up to be among the greatest singers and musicians.”
Douglas Harrison, a homosexual who grew up Southern Baptist, said, “... you can’t swing a Dove Award without hitting upon evidence of the longstanding, deep-set presence of queer experience in, and its influence on, Christian music culture at all levels” (“Come Out from among Them,” Religion Dispatches, April 30, 2010).
In 1998, CCM star Kirk Franklin said that “homosexuality ... is a problem today in gospel music--a MAJOR CONCERN--and everybody knows it” (Church Boy, pp. 49, 50).
James Cleveland, who has been called the “King of Gospel,” was a homosexual who died of AIDS. [Snip, complete article at link in title.]
West Coast Bible College vs Golden State Bible College (Statement from Jack Trieber)
May 13, 2014
On April 21, 2014, Dr. Jack Trieber telephoned Dr. Paul Chappell to cancel a breakfast appointment that Dr. Chappell had requested with him. Dr. Trieber explained that he did not think that it would be an appropriate time for them to meet because there was an on-going criminal investigation in Santa Clara regarding Dr. Mike Zachary, the Chairman of West Coast Baptist College’s music department.
Dr. Chappell was told that the investigation was on-going and that it was criminal. Dr. Trieber suggested that Dr. Chappell not interfere with the police investigation, and Dr. Trieber always viewed the allegations as both immoral and potentially criminal. That is why Dr. Trieber immediately and personally reported within the hour the allegations to the authorities upon the advice of his legal counsel at the NCLL. Dr. Trieber never recommended that Dr. Chappell keep Dr. Zachary, or any of his staff, as that was Dr. Chappell’s decision to make.
Irrespective of potentially interfering with the police investigation, Dr. Chappell proceeded to interview Dr. Zachary. During the course of these interviews, Dr. Chappell discovered a number of highly troubling facts and serious admissions from Dr. Zachary—Dr. Chappell’s staff member—that led to Dr. Zachary’s termination. It was later disclosed to Dr. Trieber, on May 1, 2014, that one of his staff members may have known about some of these sinful actions of Dr. Zachary. Once confirmed, this staff member was relieved of his responsibilities on May 2, 2014.
The actions to which Dr. Chappell stated Dr. Zachary confessed were clearly acts of gross immorality and potential criminality.
Dr. Zachary’s dismissal—from a high position of leadership within a Bible college—was completely appropriate. We wholeheartedly agree with Dr. Chappell’s decision to dismiss Dr. Zachary immediately.
To be perfectly clear, when West Coast Baptist College hired Dr. and Mrs. Zachary, it was done without Dr. Trieber’s direction. Dr. Zachary had resigned from Golden State Baptist College and lined up his interviews at West Coast Baptist College before Dr. Trieber was even aware of Dr. Zachary’s future life plans.
As a matter of policy, North Valley Baptist Church and Golden State Baptist College report all matters of potential child abuse to the authorities. We do not cover child abuse and we do not hire child abusers. We also do not tolerate immorality among our staff.
Please pray for the victims in this sad situation. They are the ones that are truly injured.
We took this opportunity with our staff and deacons to make sure that they understood that failure to immediately report allegations of child abuse is a crime in the State of California and it is grounds for immediate dismissal from our ministry. Transparency, child safety, and accountability are essential for successful ministry leadership.

Pope Francis - Homosexual child molester had diplomatic immunity, but not now
From our friends across the pond, The Daily Mail, where Americans go to get their news.
"The Holy See recalled the Polish-born Wesolowski in August, 2013, after the archbishop of Santo Domingo told Pope Francis about rumours that Wesolowski had sexually abused teenage boys in the Caribbean country.
"The Holy See recalled the Polish-born Wesolowski in August, 2013, after the archbishop of Santo Domingo told Pope Francis about rumours that Wesolowski had sexually abused teenage boys in the Caribbean country.
Dominican authorities opened an investigation, but declined initially to press charges since the Vatican had said Wesolowski enjoyed diplomatic immunity. Polish prosecutors opened an investigation as well.
A Santo Domingo court, though, took the first steps toward possibly charging him last month after the Vatican said he had lost his immunity when he was defrocked and could be prosecuted elsewhere.
The office of the Dominican Republic's attorney general said Tuesday it was requesting specifics from the Vatican about how it came to its decision to put Wesolowski under house arrest and open a criminal trial against him.
Spokeswoman Tessie Sanchez said Attorney General Francisco Dominguez Brito wanted more details from the Vatican before commenting further on the latest developments in Wesolowski's case.
In an August interview with The Associated Press, Dominguez welcomed the Vatican announcement that Wesolowski had lost his diplomatic immunity and could be tried by Dominican or other courts."

Thank you Recovering Grace: Bill Gothard has resigned
Please go over to Recovering Grace and see the great job the folks at Recovering Grace have done.
Good riddance to a major pervert and deceiver, Bill Gothard.
To the Duggar family, you should be held accountable for using your TV show to promote the pervert.
Every where your daughters go to promote their farce book, they should be asked by journalist to explain why, knowing of all the scandals, all the non-biblical teaching, all the failures in his system of putting Gothard above what the bible astually says, WHY you kept on promoting pervert Bill Gothard.
Baptist pastors, you need to be held accountable too.

Another Catholic sex abuse case in Birmingham, AL at John Carroll High School
Ah, the Catholics. No matter what the law is, they will still wait to report sex abuse cases to the proper authorities.
From the article: "A concerned parent, McGrath said, notified them of a possible student-teacher relationship. School officials contacted the Jefferson County Department of Human Resources and notified the school's attorney. The legal counsel, McGrath said, in turn hired a private investigator who helped in the probe.

For decades, the Vatican has regarded homosexuality as a "disorder," and Pope Francis' predecessor Pope Benedict XVI formally barred men with what the Vatican deemed "deep-seated" homosexuality from entering the priesthood.

Welcome the new Pope! 75% of the parishes the Joliet Diocese had a sexual predator priest serving! Just more of the same
http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/iteam&id=9033945
The archive contains hidden personnel files of priests who, according to the records, allegedly violated their oath of fidelity. Yet the files were concealed by bishops who broke their oath of honesty.
The files contain alleged incidents that spanned more than six decades.
Dave Rudofski is one of the faces of innocence lost in the Diocese of Joliet. In 1982, Rudofski was 8 years old and living in Mokena.
He was an altar boy at St. Mary's Parish, and says he was molested while giving his first confession to Father James Burnett.
Thirty years later, Rudofski sued the diocese. His legal settlement demanded that other confidential personnel files be unlocked by the diocese.
The files are now public, but only because of Rudofski's court settlement required them to be.
"There are over 91 separate places were these sexual predators served in the Diocese of Joliet. According to our experts, that is at least 75% of the parishes the Joliet Diocese had a sexual predator priest serving in," said Terry Johnson, Rudofski's attorney.
Victim complaints, memos and medical evaluations were stashed away by several bishops and other top leaders, Johnson says.
March 19, 2013 (JOLIET, Ill.) (WLS) -- The I-Team has learned that a secret archive containing records on priests accused of sexual abuse was covered up for years in the Diocese of Joliet. Also included in the files was information on the suicides of victims who complained, but were ignored.

Did Pensacola Christian College report the infidelity of this missionary?
In reading this article my memory is cast back to the days when Becca Horton practically stalked Kent Hovind and his wife down and reported them to the IRS.
Now we read that a Lithuanian woman was kicked out of Pensacola Christian College for an improper relationship with a male missionary who was paying her way. That same missionary just turned up with a murdered wife.
http://www.pjstar.com/news/x1522333897/Another-woman-might-have-led-to-Valentines-Day-slaying
One wonders if PCC actively tried to do anything to report this relationship to the man's sending authority or if they just kicked the adultress out and washed their hands of it?
A mother is dead now. This is where the habit of IFB's covering up sexual sins in it's ranks gets even more ugly.

How Jack Schaap at First Baptist Church Hammond and Hyles-Anderson College defiled MANY children, not just the child he acknowledged raping:
While vicious women like Jo-Beth Hooker accuse Jack Schaap's rape victim of being at fault because 54 year old pastor raped her and took her across state lines to rape her, the the truth is worse.
With the full approval of parents like Jo-Beth Hooker, Jack Schaap has been defiling the minds of young children in the congregation of First Baptist Church for many years. He has been defiling the minds of innocent children at Hammond Baptist Schools, he has been defiling the minds of students at Hyles-Anderson College. He even defiled the minds of young women who were on staff in his office.
Please read this testimony:
"There are many things about these letters that baffle me, but the one fact that I can't get away from is that so many of these people who are defending JS, and even blaming the girl, are parents who sat under JS's preaching and heard the perverse, perverted, often times sexually charged statements he made in front of all the children and young people at FBC, including their own, for years.
Somehow they fail to see that the girl JS abused may have been harmed by JS spiritually, mentally, and/or emotionally long before he ever touched her physically. She was only 5 or 6 when JS became her pastor. She sat under his teachings and attended Hammond Baptist Schools her whole life. Any parent who was paying attention and had a tinge of conscience at FBC must have had times when they struggled deeply with raising a child under the ministry of JS.
Most of the people at FBC guarded their children from music, tv, books, and movies that they believed contained mature subject matter, yet they let "Preacher" defile their children's hearts, and say and do in church that which they would never have allowed in their homes or lifestyle otherwise. So many times things were said that a child's young, developing mind and spirit may not have been ready to receive or fully understand or deal with on many levels, yet JS didn't seem to care.
Week after week, he stood behind the pulpit with so many young, innocent faces and wide eyes staring back at him and never fully seemed to see them. He did not seem to consider the harm he was doing to so many of them by making inappropriate statements or sharing sexual examples or illustrations that were far too mature for impressionable hearts.
Many times he would say something that was so outrageous I was sure someone, a deacon, or staff member, or some parent would jump up and stop it or intercede for the children, but of course, that never happened. Instead the men behind him "Amened" him. Now, instead of feeling shame or remorse for this, they and/or their wives write letters defending it.
As much as JS and FBC loved to brag on the great HAC and HBHS, there were times JS would use a sermon at church to correct deep problems at the schools. Some of the things going on were twisted. Why he felt he should or why he seemed to enjoy tainting the entire church with the perverted, sinful behavior that seemed to be common in their schools I don't know. There were thousands of people at FBC who did not have children in HB or HAC. They either had no children, or their children were too young for school, or they home schooled, or attended public school, there were scores of adults whose children were grown, there are a lot of elderly people that make up the congregation, and yet all were forced to hear of the sometimes detailed perversion of the young people actions at school.
In addition to this, JS often made personal visits to the schools to speak or preach and influence these children without their parents really knowing what he was saying to them. Maybe those who wrote letters blaming the girl need to write a letter and take some responsibility for sitting behind JS on the platform, or standing behind him with their actions and attitudes and encouraging him from the pew while he planted seeds of corruption and defilement in the hearts of the children who were growing up over the last 10 years at FBC?
I have personally gone to speak with staff members at the church about this very problem and poured my heart out providing extreme examples of heartbreaking scenarios, but they did not seem to care. It was clear to me that hurting a child emotionally or spiritually was not of much concern to them because they can not be charged or damaged legally or financially for doing so or allowing it. Yet I believe the church and every member will one day give account for what was allowed, ignored or condoned regarding the teaching and treatment of these young ones simply because it came straight from their "Man of God", the one who should have been seeking to guard and nourish their delicate hearts for the Lord, instead of compromising and hurting them in ways we may never fully understand."
The person who wrote this did sign their name, but I have not placed it here intentionally. Should you wish any further information please see "Do Right Hyles-Anderson" on Facebook. Please note: Not everyone there is saved and there are some people who are just as bad as Jack Schaap was, so use your discretion. But there are many good Christian people posting there now that they have a safe place to talk about what happened at First Baptist Church Hammond under the ministry of Jack Schaap. Part 2 coming.

"There are many things about these letters that baffle me, but the one fact that I can't get away from is that so many of these people who are defending JS, and even blaming the girl, are parents who sat under JS's preaching and heard the perverse, perverted, often times sexually charged statements he made in front of all the children and young people at FBC, including their own, for years.
Somehow they fail to see that the girl JS abused may have been harmed by JS spiritually, mentally, and/or emotionally long before he ever touched her physically. She was only 5 or 6 when JS became her pastor. She sat under his teachings and attended Hammond Baptist Schools her whole life. Any parent who was paying attention and had a tinge of conscience at FBC must have had times when they struggled deeply with raising a child under the ministry of JS.
Most of the people at FBC guarded their children from music, tv, books, and movies that they believed contained mature subject matter, yet they let "Preacher" defile their children's hearts, and say and do in church that which they would never have allowed in their homes or lifestyle otherwise. So many times things were said that a child's young, developing mind and spirit may not have been ready to receive or fully understand or deal with on many levels, yet JS didn't seem to care.
Week after week, he stood behind the pulpit with so many young, innocent faces and wide eyes staring back at him and never fully seemed to see them. He did not seem to consider the harm he was doing to so many of them by making inappropriate statements or sharing sexual examples or illustrations that were far too mature for impressionable hearts.
Many times he would say something that was so outrageous I was sure someone, a deacon, or staff member, or some parent would jump up and stop it or intercede for the children, but of course, that never happened. Instead the men behind him "Amened" him. Now, instead of feeling shame or remorse for this, they and/or their wives write letters defending it.
As much as JS and FBC loved to brag on the great HAC and HBHS, there were times JS would use a sermon at church to correct deep problems at the schools. Some of the things going on were twisted. Why he felt he should or why he seemed to enjoy tainting the entire church with the perverted, sinful behavior that seemed to be common in their schools I don't know. There were thousands of people at FBC who did not have children in HB or HAC. They either had no children, or their children were too young for school, or they home schooled, or attended public school, there were scores of adults whose children were grown, there are a lot of elderly people that make up the congregation, and yet all were forced to hear of the sometimes detailed perversion of the young people actions at school.
In addition to this, JS often made personal visits to the schools to speak or preach and influence these children without their parents really knowing what he was saying to them. Maybe those who wrote letters blaming the girl need to write a letter and take some responsibility for sitting behind JS on the platform, or standing behind him with their actions and attitudes and encouraging him from the pew while he planted seeds of corruption and defilement in the hearts of the children who were growing up over the last 10 years at FBC?
I have personally gone to speak with staff members at the church about this very problem and poured my heart out providing extreme examples of heartbreaking scenarios, but they did not seem to care. It was clear to me that hurting a child emotionally or spiritually was not of much concern to them because they can not be charged or damaged legally or financially for doing so or allowing it. Yet I believe the church and every member will one day give account for what was allowed, ignored or condoned regarding the teaching and treatment of these young ones simply because it came straight from their "Man of God", the one who should have been seeking to guard and nourish their delicate hearts for the Lord, instead of compromising and hurting them in ways we may never fully understand."
The person who wrote this did sign their name, but I have not placed it here intentionally. Should you wish any further information please see "Do Right Hyles-Anderson" on Facebook. Please note: Not everyone there is saved and there are some people who are just as bad as Jack Schaap was, so use your discretion. But there are many good Christian people posting there now that they have a safe place to talk about what happened at First Baptist Church Hammond under the ministry of Jack Schaap. Part 2 coming.

Update on pervert Jack Schaap from Hyles-Anderson & First Baptist Church Hammond (& David Gibbs "investigation")
I read with some amazement the letters written by Jack Schaap supporters, pleading with a federal judge to ignore the law in Jack Schaaps sexual abuse case involving a minor child taken across state lines for sex abuse. Then I had to go and throw up.
I'm still filled with more feelings of sick dread that I can even express, that there are people in this world who would actually demean and verbally victimize this young girl, the same girl who was sexually abused by Jack Schaap, by begging a judge not to fully punish Schaap for what he did to her.
1. The lawyer who wrote the pleading sentencing memorandum asking the judge to ignore sentencing rules in Jack Schaap's case refers to this girl who Schapp sexually molested as a "young woman." (Paul G. Stracci.)
2. Many of the letters are from women. That throws up a big red flag right there. One telling the judge how Jack Schaap "saved her life." Any "pastor" who spent that much time with women other than his wife ought to raise suspicions OFF THE CHARTS.
3. Luke Lukenoff (@LukeLukenoff) writes to the judge: An investigation by Attorney David Gibbs conducted for our church has
revealed no other inappropriate contact with a minor. . . . While our
investigation is on going and will remain active for years, at this time this
appears to be an isolated incident and not a pattern of abuse. Letter of Luke
Lukenoff, Sentencing Ex. 44.
Does Lukenoff have access to the supposed "investigation" Attorney David Gibbs conducted? Does the congregation at First Baptist Hammond have access to the report? They paid for it, why can't they see it?
Why is Luke Lukenoff stating in a letter to a judge that the Gibbs investigation uncovered no other inappropriate conduct with A MINOR?
Because he KNOWS that the investigation DID UNCOVER Jack Schaap's PATTERN of sexual grooming and misconduct towards other ADULT WOMEN? And Lukenoff is just not going to mention that tiny fact to the judge?
Or has Luke Lukenoff, like so many other people at First Baptist Church Hammond been kept completely in the dark by the people who DO KNOW about Schaaps activities? ("Dear Mr. Lapina, Mr. Sparks and Mr. Duff...")
I personally doubt he's in the dark if he has access to the "report." And things that Jack Schaap did were so bad that Gibbs investigation is going to have to continue for years? And he's writing a letter to a judge, hoping to influence the judge to give Jack Schaap a lighter sentence than what the law calls for?
The mind is boggled, truly. How do these people look in the mirror every day?
One other issue: Parents and pastors, please note that several people on staff at Hyles-Anderson college wrote letters asking that the judge be lenient towards sentencing Jack Schaap for the crime he has pled guilty to: "Hammond pastor pleads guilty in child sex case"
Is this the kind of place you want to send your children for an education?

When Obama lies about the death of our Ambassador and gives the terrorist a free ride on those murders, he opens the door to terrorist attacks against ALL, including Israel
When Obama lies about the death of our Ambassador and gives the terrorist a free ride on those murders at Behghazi, he obviously knows what he doing. Obama knows he is emboldening Muslim terrorists to go even further.
So they did. They bombed Israel.
So now all ya'll people who think you are in control can just sit back and watch the God of Abraham, Issac and Joseph work.
God is not going to be mocked and God will not allow these land stealers to destroy Israel.
Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
Only Israel matters to God. Only Israel.

Southern Baptist "pastor" Dr. James Griffith speaks on why he failed to report confirmed child molester to police or warn congregation
From the Atlanta Journal Constitution regarding alleged child molester and rapist of little boys, Ernest Boland; his pastor, Dr. James Griffith speaks on the record on why he never reported the crimes he was aware of and why he never warned his congregation at Beech Haven Baptist that he was allowing a child molester free reign in the church:
"Griffith never confronted Boland. Instead, he said last week, he asked a church deacon and a lawyer from the congregation to speak to the scoutmaster.
“That took care of it,” Griffith said. “These two men said, ‘We will handle this.’ They both were capable and it was under their authority. I did not get into it. It’s the kind of thing that can tear up your church. A wise pastor certainly will not do anything to hurt the entire congregation.”
[Hey "Dr." Griffith, guess what? All the boys that were molested and you knew it, and did not report Earnest Boland to the police, THEY MATTERED. If not to you, then to GOD.]
[Hey "Dr." Griffith, guess what? All the boys that were molested and you knew it, and did not report Earnest Boland to the police, THEY MATTERED. If not to you, then to GOD.]
Both emissaries have since died. Griffith, who later became executive director of the Georgia Baptist Convention, said he never heard more claims of sexual impropriety involving Boland."
November 4, 2012
Some of the saddest words you'll ever read: (Southern Baptist Pastor on why he covered up for a serial child molester)
(Warning, Ernest P. Boland photo below.)
BY all accounts, Earnest Boland raped and molested many boys. He used the Boy Scouts and his church as a place to find victims. And his pastor knew. From the Atlanta Journal Constitution:
'Why I am not Southern Baptist"
BY all accounts, Earnest Boland raped and molested many boys. He used the Boy Scouts and his church as a place to find victims. And his pastor knew. From the Atlanta Journal Constitution:
“In those days, this was a no-no in terms of publicizing it,” said the Rev. James Griffith, who as Boland’s pastor in the mid-1970s heard reports of his sexual transgressions. “It was suspected, but there was not much done about it.” [Baloney. There were laws against it. James Griffith knew it was a crime. But the rich white guys in Southern Baptist churches always get away with molesting little boys, don't they? Gotta keep that tithe check coming in.]
No one at his church, Griffith said, discussed reporting Boland to the police or even telling the scouts’ parents."
(Snip)
In the fall of 1975, Boland established Boy Scouts Troop 3. He based the troop at Beech Haven Baptist Church, where he was a longtime member.
If Boland was looking for a fresh start in scouting, he instead stoked old suspicions about his behavior with children.
The father of the former Troop 22 scout approached the parents’ committee of the new troop, saying he knew of as many as 10 to 12 boys Boland had molested, according to the scouts’ investigation. Parents had not reported the abuse, the father said, to protect their sons’ privacy.
Hegwood notified the Boy Scouts’ national headquarters, and he met with Griffith, the Beech Haven pastor. The pastor, Hegwood later wrote, shared even more damning information: Boland had kept an apartment in Athens, purportedly for illicit sexual encounters, and he had taken two scouts to Maryland for a week during his Army Reserve training, staying with them in a motel.
In a report to the scouts’ national office, Hegwood checked a box describing reports of abuse by Boland as “substantiated.”
Griffith never confronted Boland. Instead, he said last week, he asked a church deacon and a lawyer from the congregation to speak to the scoutmaster.
“That took care of it,” Griffith said. “These two men said, ‘We will handle this.’ They both were capable and it was under their authority. I did not get into it. It’s the kind of thing that can tear up your church. A wise pastor certainly will not do anything to hurt the entire congregation.”
Both emissaries have since died. Griffith, who later became executive director of the Georgia Baptist Convention, said he never heard more claims of sexual impropriety involving Boland."

Ah, but I don't sell ads. However, I would like to direct you to a free Bible. It really is free and it's a great program, very user friendly and easy to figure out.
Because when men fail you, the God of all hope will not.
From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 67Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

$1 million awarded to girl abused at 15 by pastor
Jefferson County jury awards $1 million judgment against former youth minister who had sex with 15-year-old girl
http://blog.al.com/spotnews/2012/10/jefferson_county_jury_awards_1_1.html#incart_river_default
"The victim in that case, [NAME WITHHELD BY THIS EDITOR], now 24 and married, filed a lawsuit in 2009, alleging seduction of a minor, assault and battery. The jury today returned a verdict in Jefferson County Circuit Court for $500,000 in compensatory and $500,000 in punitive damages, said Echols' attorney, Johnny Brunson.
"They found that she was 15 when he initiated contact," Brunson said. "She testified that he sexually assaulted and sexually abused her beginning when she was 15."
To the folks at First Baptist Church in Hammond, you defenders of Schaap and those who participated in the cover up, (lying and saying that Jack Schaap was on "medical leave,"); the above article is posted to show you what Davis Gibbs and the CLA can't save you from (when he advises you in writing and in video taped sermons to investigate reports of sex abuse in your church on your own and decide if it's worth reporting, before you call the law.)
The CLA and David Gibbs can give you all the wrong advice in the world. You can believe it as long as you want. But when an impartial jury gets the case, you are going to pay.
Those that covered it up: You are going to pay.
So Preacher, before you believe the wrong recommendations from David Gibbs about investigating sex abuse on your own when it's reported to you, better check the law in your state.
(Google is your friend.) You preacher, are a mandated REPORTER. You are not allowed by the law to investigate and decide whether or not you should report sex crimes. You are not allowed to cover these things up. You are not allowed to investigate before you report the crime. It's the law. Romans chapter 13 also.
Because the cover up is going to cost you far more than you really want to pay, in more ways than one.

Homosexual perversion in Boy Scouts winked at by Boy Scout executives
Just when you think it can't get any worse, the L.A. Times uncovers the aptly named Perversion Files of the Boy Scouts of America. The articles are a must read and the writers certainly deserve a Pulitzer.
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/10/boy-scouts-perversion-files-released-the-secrets-are-out.html
But a quick read through the supporting documents shows the depth of depravity that the homosexuals in the Boy Scouts of America have foisted upon innocent kids. And in most cases the top executives in the BSA did nothing more than wink at the problem. Just like the Catholic Church and the Southern Baptist Church and yes, many Independent Baptist churches, the cover up started at the top.
For example, after an Air Force investigation proved the validity of the abused boys accusations, BSA executive Paul Ernst suggests that sleeping nude with pre-adolescent boys and showing them pornography wasn't enough to bar pervert (Kenneth Burns) from the Boy Scouts.
Ernst attributes those actions by an obvious predator as "poor judgement" but not enough to bar Burns from working with the Boy Scouts in another location.

Billy Graham: Big sell out and disgrace to the Gospel - endorses Mormon Cult
Billy Graham's organization removes Mormonism its list of cults
Influential pastor Billy Graham is signaling to evangelical Christians that they shouldn't hesitate to vote for Mitt Romney because of his Mormon religion, further cementing Romney's strong standing with the key Republican voting bloc.
The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association this week removed Mormonism from its list of religious cults, the Charlotte Observer reports. Mormons consider themselves Christians, though not all of their beliefs align with mainstream Christian doctrine.
The association dropped the label after Romney visited Graham and his son Franklin Graham, who now runs the organization, last week. In his six decades of ministry, Billy Graham has served as a spiritual adviser to several presidents, though he's never formally endorsed a presidential candidate. (Snip, full article at link:) http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57535071/billy-grahams-organization-removes-mormonism-its-list-of-cults/?tag=cbsnewsHardNewsFDArea;fdmodule
Are Mormon's a cult? Is Mitt Romney a cult member? According to the Bible, yes.
For more details on what the cult of Mormon believes please see this article by David Cloud at Way of Life.
"Note the following quote from, “What Mormons Think of Christ” (LDS publication, pages 32-34):
“Christians speak often of the blood of Christ and its cleansing power. Much is believed and taught on this subject, however, it is utter nonsense and so palpably false that to believe it is to lose one’s salvation.”
“Christians speak often of the blood of Christ and its cleansing power. Much is believed and taught on this subject, however, it is utter nonsense and so palpably false that to believe it is to lose one’s salvation.”
Is Billy Graham a heretic and apostate? Yes, according to the Bible.

Bob Jones University has higher number of forced sexual assaults than Clemson

"Bob Jones University, similar in size to Furman, had 99 total incidents in three years and had the highest number of forcible sex offenses reported -- 9 in 2011 alone, significantly higher than any other institution in the area. (Clemson, which has almost 20,000 students, reported 3 forcible sex offenses in 2011 and has had 7 in the past three years.)
Carol Keirstead, spokesperson for BJU, declined an on-camera interview for this story but provided a written statement to address the nine reported sex offenses.
She said the student, who she identifies as a male, was suspended. She said the university's student policies will allow him to reapply for admission next semester, which begins in January 2013. http://www2.wspa.com/news/community-watchdog/2012/sep/28/1/bob-jones-had-9-sex-offenses-reported-campus-2011-ar-4649599/
David Gibbs, Christian Law Association and Jack Schaap
Under oath, former IFB pastor at First Baptist Church Hammond Jack Schaap has said that he didn't know it was against the law to take a 16 year old girl to 3 different states in order to have sex with her.
But the Christian Law Association, headed by David Gibbs has been advising this church in regards to the laws for many years. Didn't Jack Schaap get the memo? The CLA newsletter? The Christian Law Association is either a big failure in it's stated mission or Jack Schaap is a liar.
I think it's both.
Because the Christian Law Association collect millions of dollars from gullible church congregations every year by CLAIMING to give "free" legal help to Bible believing churches and "Christians" who are experiencing difficulty in "practicing their faith" because of governmental intrusion of some kind.
HELLO! Who was the first person trotting up to Hammond, Indiana to set up a defense for First Baptist Church Hammond against the innocent victims of the church pastor and staff who helped cover up the years and years of sin and crime taking place there?
David Gibbs, Christian Law Association.
And what did he do when he got there? In his role as a "legal missionary?" He advised any other victims to report to the special office the church had set up to "handle" things like that.
Maybe God can forgive David Gibbs for not advising those victims to call the police, because it was a sin what he did, and morally wrong even to people who don't believe in sin.
So to sum up, Jack Schaap would have us believe that the "legal missionary" David Gibbs never once sent any material to First Baptist Church Hammond letting the church know that a pastor taking a 16 year old girl across state lines to have sex with her was wrong.
If Gibbs never sent any materials to FBCH outlining policies that should be in place to protect children against sexual predators, then the church ought to insist on a refund from the thousands of dollars they have funneled tax-free to David Gibbs' company.
Both parties make me sick.

Another Jack Schaap victim from First Baptist Hammond speaks out - where is David Gibbs?
http://www.facebook.com/groups/210248275769396/
http://www.facebook.com/groups/210248275769396/permalink/220907154703508/
My name is ***** ***** (formerly ***** ***********) . I graduated from HAC in 1997. Up until 2009, my husband *** and I worked for FBC of Hammond. My husband was the ******** and *********** Administrator and I was the Marketing Director for ********* *********, both of us worked directly for Jack Schaap.
I have been silent and have been very selective of who I have shared my story with. I am choosing to speak out today because I have taken every step with grace and propriety to speak to those in leadership at FBC and they have chosen to continue to shun and ignore me despite a phone call and gracious letter. I have not been part of any open groups because I have been afraid of the condemnation and scrutiny that those who lurk and read here can aim at me. I am not bitter, I have forgiven Jack Schaap and there are many people at FBC I dearly love.
I am deeply wounded and I pray by sharing what I am about to share that those, who like me, have been abused by Jack Schaap or the system of FBC would know that they are not alone and that there is no shame in their story. I am tired of carrying SHAME that does not belong to me to bear. I lost a dear friend because I was outraged that she shared my story because I was filled with fear and shame- I was outraged because those who are victims within the IFB system are consistently shamed, vilified and are made to feel like they are to blame for the abuse. They are never given a voice or an ear. They have not been protected but re-victimized when they have tried to say, “NO” to the abuse.
Over 7 years ago my husband and I had deep struggles in our marriage. We both had been unfaithful to each other and my husband reached out to Jack Schaap for help when I filed for divorce. (My story is not unfamiliar- I shared it openly at the ** *********** a few years ago.) Schaap took a great interest in us, we were his “trophy couple.” ( See the introduction to my book, “ When Money Doesn’t Grow On Trees” from Jack Schaap) Schaap began to regularly counsel us and almost immediately hired me on staff to work with his wife.
During this time Jack Schaap met with me to help with my marriage. He met with me often and for long periods of times. I had one meeting that lasted over 2 and a half hours. I was alone with him. He called my house and at one point berated and raged at me and then would tell me of his love. During those counseling sessions he told me that “This KJV debate means NOTHING to me compared to what it would do to me if I lost you.” With tears in his eyes He told me of our connection and that he loved me.
Many times during his “counseling” my marriage he would ask me vile, sexually charged questions, he would make statements of what he would ( sexually) “do to me” if he was my husband and what my husband should “ do to me”. ( Sexually speaking) His constant preoccupation with highly charged sexual innuendo and questions was violating. I cannot speak and share many of those things as they are not appropriate to share. His talk always made me feel dirty and confused. I asked him and even wrote him to turn his topics onto my marriage and not my sex life, to bring my husband into our conversations when there were times when we counseled together.
At one point when I told him I could no longer attend FBC and work for him he refused my letter of resignation and told me to meet with him. I told him ‘ No” and he said, “NO ONE says NO to Jack Schaap!” I received constant calls from his secretary asking me to meet with him and every time I gave the phone to my husband so he could tell Jack “NO.”
Things escalated and we went to Iowa to counsel with Marvin Smith. Marvin Smith heard about what Jack was doing in our meetings and told me to get out of there ASAP. He told me what Schaap was doing was wrong, he was grooming me. Within one month we sold our house, quit our jobs and moved to Iowa. When *** gave Schaap his resignation, Schaap pulled him into his office and berated, swore and had a tirade in front of *** for an hour. All Ken said was, “Well, thank you.”
When we left, *** was escorted out of his office like a criminal and we understood that we were not welcome back.
A few weeks after we left, rumors began to circulate that I was having an affair with him. Jack Schaap had a staff meeting and from the pieces I have gathered. (He told his staff that if this information got out they could be fired) he vilified, shared personal information about me, discredited me to the staff and asked them to shun me. He also sent a 4 page letter to Marvin Smith doing the same. I asked for the said letter from Marvin Smith recently and he said he threw away the letter because it wasn't "his battle to fight". (This deeply hurt me because he could have confronted Jack and fought for my reputation that Schaap smeared)
When we fled from Jack Schaap, we left behind the only friends we had, a church that was all we knew and jobs that we enjoyed. I received word from several people around the country that I was a "reproach" to them.
We have spent the last 3 years having to pick up the pieces. I cannot begin to tell you the struggle and the devastation. We gave up everything to get away from his abuse..
When this all broke loose I called Terry Duff on Monday night to speak to him. He was in a meeting but said, "He knew all about me". I sent Terry, Eddie Lapina and Rick Sparks the following letter...( It explains what transpired ...)
Dear Mr. Lapina, Mr. Sparks and Mr. Duff,
On Monday evening I called Terry Duff on his cell phone and at the time he was in a meeting. He told me he would have someone call me back and I asked if he would personally call me back as I trusted him. He had Rick Sparks call me back. I love you Rick Sparks and I believe in you- Ken and I have known you for over 20 years,but that Wednesday conversation was one of the most painful conversations I have ever had.
You asked how you could help me. I cannot begin to tell you the devastation and pain that Jack Schaap has caused me and my family. We trusted him to counsel us and in return he violated that trust in a most vile way. We had to move 2 states away and start a new life over just to remove ourselves from his harm. We left quietly and ethically but we were still vilified and shunned when we left. For 3 years I have had to build our life back from the ruins. How can you help me and other victims?
1. You can give us the dignity of being heard and believed.
2. You can validate our stories and have empathy for the attack on us when we tried to let those in authority know what was going on.
3. You can treat the victims with dignity instead of a legal liability to your church. ("Julie, Fill out a statement so FBC cannot get sued")
4. You can with humility, true compassion and a repentant heart apologize in lieu of Jack Schaap for the abuse and destruction that you allowed to continue in your church.
5. You can promise to never vilify, shun or not hear someone when they come forward with stories of abuse in leadership.
6. You can encourage your congregation to question authority and not give blind allegiance to any man or institution but lift up allegiance to Christ alone.
Gentleman, I am devastated. I have not eaten or slept since this scandal broke. A deep and painful wound has been ripped open and all I was hoping for was to be heard and validated and instead I was passed off to your delegated person. Please treat us who have been hurt with dignity. I simply needed to be heard and validated by someone who is in a position of leadership. I needed to know you hear my intense grief and that you care for those destroyed by this man. My life will never be the same, I have forgiven Jack Schaap but part of my healing is removing the shame. Please help me to not feel like I am a shame to FBC because I was taken advantage by a predatory man. Please.
In Christ,

My name is ***** ***** (formerly ***** ***********) . I graduated from HAC in 1997. Up until 2009, my husband *** and I worked for FBC of Hammond. My husband was the ******** and *********** Administrator and I was the Marketing Director for ********* *********, both of us worked directly for Jack Schaap.
I have been silent and have been very selective of who I have shared my story with. I am choosing to speak out today because I have taken every step with grace and propriety to speak to those in leadership at FBC and they have chosen to continue to shun and ignore me despite a phone call and gracious letter. I have not been part of any open groups because I have been afraid of the condemnation and scrutiny that those who lurk and read here can aim at me. I am not bitter, I have forgiven Jack Schaap and there are many people at FBC I dearly love.
I am deeply wounded and I pray by sharing what I am about to share that those, who like me, have been abused by Jack Schaap or the system of FBC would know that they are not alone and that there is no shame in their story. I am tired of carrying SHAME that does not belong to me to bear. I lost a dear friend because I was outraged that she shared my story because I was filled with fear and shame- I was outraged because those who are victims within the IFB system are consistently shamed, vilified and are made to feel like they are to blame for the abuse. They are never given a voice or an ear. They have not been protected but re-victimized when they have tried to say, “NO” to the abuse.
Over 7 years ago my husband and I had deep struggles in our marriage. We both had been unfaithful to each other and my husband reached out to Jack Schaap for help when I filed for divorce. (My story is not unfamiliar- I shared it openly at the ** *********** a few years ago.) Schaap took a great interest in us, we were his “trophy couple.” ( See the introduction to my book, “ When Money Doesn’t Grow On Trees” from Jack Schaap) Schaap began to regularly counsel us and almost immediately hired me on staff to work with his wife.
During this time Jack Schaap met with me to help with my marriage. He met with me often and for long periods of times. I had one meeting that lasted over 2 and a half hours. I was alone with him. He called my house and at one point berated and raged at me and then would tell me of his love. During those counseling sessions he told me that “This KJV debate means NOTHING to me compared to what it would do to me if I lost you.” With tears in his eyes He told me of our connection and that he loved me.
Many times during his “counseling” my marriage he would ask me vile, sexually charged questions, he would make statements of what he would ( sexually) “do to me” if he was my husband and what my husband should “ do to me”.
