So what is this blog about?

I discuss a lot of topics in my blog. But if you find the topic of corruption in pulpits pertinent, here's a guide to my blog to help you:


    Click here for A Quick Guide for Newcomers. This entry explains what Fundamentalism is and how it has been shaped and altered over the years. (We're not all kooks.)

    Jack Hyles was a preacher who took over a big piece of Fundamentalism. His name has been linked to adultery, and he was charged by a former deacon (Vic Nischik) of alienating the affections of Nischik's wife. In the early 1990's five cases of child molestation in different churches were all linked back to graduates of Hyles' unaccredited college, Hyles-Anderson. Since then, even more graduates of that school have been charged with, indicted, and/or jailed for child molestation. Jack Hyles' son Dave Hyles has accrued an even more colorful repuation, having been investigated by the police over the death of Brent Stevens and havng been expelled from Miller Road Baptist Church for gross sexual sin.Click here to read the timeline of the Hyles Dynasty

    In recent years, an internet web board called the Fighting Fundamentalist Forums has grown and flourished as former fundies and current fundies debate, clash, and fellowship with each other. Some of these people are devotees of Hyles and others have racked up reputations for similar abuses.Click here for a cast of characters from the FFF

    One demand repeatedly placed on me by the devotees of Jack Hyles is that I provide evidence. Here's some evidence:
    Preying from the Pulpit in MP3 (audio) format: A Documentary on Jack Hyles and First Baptist Church of Hammond IN, focusing on the allegations of child molestation by graduates/deacons who came from there.
