| More IFB-KJVO Church Abuse
Another highly authoritarian church, its pastor not held accountable to ruling elders in the biblical model, has been brought to tragedy by charges of sexual molestion of little boys. You can click here for the story so far. |
Pastor C Stephen Harmon of Maineville Baptist Church has been charged with
one count of gross sexual imposition and is currently bering held without bond as the investigation continues. Note that this story comes from the Cincinnati Enquirer, which is a reputable newspaper and has no affiliation with the tabloid known as the National Enquireer
While the grief and shock at Maineville Baptist Church certainly seems sincere, and the church is fully cooperating with police and has expressed grief and pain over this sad revelation, this is still the time for this congregation to re-evaluate the basis for much of what they have been taught and to thoroughly examine the Scriptures for themselves.
 | Even More IFB-KJVO Church Abuse
On another very sobering note, a person has come forward with allegations of abuse suffered while attending schoool under the ministry of Longview Baptist Temple. She has posted a series of statements aimed more at people who have been members of the church there (in Texas, under the pastorate of Bob Gray). Here is the first post Here is the second post. Here is the third post. |
According to Ms. Rosewell, the guilty person has been fired from the church staff but is still attending (and if he is truly guilty, then excommunication is in order, or at least he must be brought before the congregation, if he is repentant.)
