Fundamentalist pastor indicted on molestation

Check out this article: Member: Church Knew About Molestation Allegations

Quotes from members:
"Some of the deacons knew, the pastor knew."

"I've know it for years, but it was just kind of covered up, swept under the rug by everybody in charge,"

"He knew there were some indiscretions, but he didn't think it was good to bring them out, for the good of the ministry,”

Just three observations

* If they were so willing to cover up child molestation that even the most hardened criminals believe is the most heinous of crimes (They beat up prison inmates convicted of molestation), what else did they cover up?

Call them out for spiritual abuse? Still think that's possible? Can I have some of the stuff you've been smoking? They looked the other way while little girls were getting molested.

* If you remember during the Clinton/Lewinsky saga, his supporters supported him on the account of him having done a "good job" despite personal shortcomings. Christians strongly objected to that mentality.

Do you think the people at this baptist church supported Clinton? After all, they let their pastor get away "for the good of the ministry." The pastor was doing a good job.

* I bet that this pastor and church slammed the Catholic Church for turning a blind eye on molestors within the ranks of its priesthood.
