A former member of scandal ridden Prestonwood Baptist Church speaks out. "I have completely abandoned the Baptist church as an adult"
http://newbbcopenforum.blogspot.com/2011/08/wolves-in-music-ministry-part-2.html
"I just want to say for myself that this is not really a source of gossip. We never spoke about this much at Prestonwood, and that was a big problem., Many of us were damaged by not being able to go through the healing process together. For myself, I have completely abandoned the Baptist church as an adult because of many of the things that happened at PBC. These situations (JL and Billy Weber and more) were damaging to me personally and spirituality, and I hope more blogs like this can help people where our churches will not.
It is sad that the PBC cared more for their image in the community than for the victims in their body. If you ask yourself, "Is this what the bride of Christ would do?" you get your answer. I commend the older Pastor for your wisdom, and I wish there had been more wisdom at PBC at the time.
To the people of Clinton, you all are continually in my prayers. It deeply saddens me that this has also happened in your community."
