Alabama pastor Flip Benham, who recently appeared with U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore (R) at a campaign rally, told an Alabama radio station that Moore dated “younger ladies” for their “purity.” Said Benham: “He did that because there is something about a purity of a young woman, there is something that is good, that’s true, that’s straight and he looked for that.”
I suspected this as his motivation early on considering his religious zealotry. Moore states in his book he first noticed his wife when she was 15. The dude is sick. I bet his family is like a cult.
Listening to that interview.. wow that guy is.. People pay money to get their religious services from Pastor Flip? A friend told me once that choosing a church in the South is like picking a favorite car wash on some level. I expect you have to be smarter to work in a car wash?
Baptist church complains about being branded ‘pedophile congregation’ after controversial pastor defended Roy Moore The Highland Gardens Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama is complaining about an angry backlash after former Pastor Earl Wise reportedly said he would back Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore even if all of the allegations were true. “He’s not the pastor here anymore. He hasn’t been here since June,” a church representative told The Christian Post in defense. The representative refused to give her name. “I don’t know how much these women are getting paid, but I can only believe they’re getting a healthy sum,” the Boston Globe quoted Pastor Wise as suggesting. “How these gals came up with this, I don’t know. They must have had some sweet dreams somewhere down the line.” The pastor seemed to suggest that 14-year-olds could be to blame for sexual assault inflicted upon them by an adult. “There are some 14-year-olds, who, the way they look, could pass for 20,” the pastor explained. Now, Pastor Wise’s former congregation are experiencing backlash after his controversial remarks. “They are calling our church saying this is a pedophile congregation and stuff like that,” the Highland Gardens Baptist Church noted. “You know, we’re not a pedophile church. We can’t help how he comments,” the representative argued. “He’s not our pastor anymore. He doesn’t represent us anymore here.”
Some of the stuff over at LandoverBaptist on Roy Moore would be amusing if it were not impossible to tell from what his usual supporters are actually saying. http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?p=1220897
And funny signs, when I lived in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico the Rev Wagner had "Have trouble sleeping? Come hear a sermon" on the board outside. I do wonder if he actually realised the double entendre. Nearly temped me to go in.
I don't see where the pastor said "children". This is another disgusting attempt at Political yoga. "STRETCH, TWIST, STRETCH, TWIST, RINSE REPEAT AD NAUSEUM"
