Televangelist Joel Osteen responds to same-sex marriage



It's good to hear Joel Osteen not be a 'powder puff' Christian as usual, in our opinion.   Joel Osteen boldly admitted in his own words, he sees no where in the Bible homosexuality is acceptable, allegedly.   Usually, Pastor Osteen has went around the subject, but this time he boldly...

Murdered Pastor Fred Winters’ Wife Writes New Book about of Peace and Hope, Forgives Gunman



Cindy Winters didn't set out to write a book. But as she journaled about her grief and pain after her husband Fred was killed in his Maryville, Ill., pulpit four years ago, she realized how healing the writing process could be. And she wanted to share that with others on a similar journey. Pastor Fred Winters was killed at First Baptist Church in Maryville in 2009, when a gunman entered a Sunday morning worship service on March 8 and shot him in the pulpit.

Pope Francis I Demonstrates How to Use a Condom?

Pope Francis uses condom to show how to use one

Pope Francis I Demonstrates How to Use a Condom?

The Roman Catholic church's new leader, Pope Francis I, made a very bold statement and a new direction on this past Sunday. While followers gathered at the Saint Peter’s Square, the pope demonstrated how to correctly use and apply a condom! Yes, you heard it correctly. A man who has vowed to never have sex in his position, held one up and showed the world just how to use a LifeStyles-brand condom.
“It’s imperative that partners use a brand-new condom for each act of vaginal, anal, or oral sex and put it on as soon as erection occurs,”
“To reduce air pockets and minimize the risk of breakage, pinch the top of the semen reservoir with your thumb and forefinger, then withdraw the penis directly after ejaculation. And remember, always use a new condom when alternating between different sexual acts; it’s more effective, more sanitary, and improves the sexual experience for both partners.”
Francis added that though he understood condom use was not ideal for maximizing sexual pleasure and personally prefers not to wear them, they are the most effective way to prevent the spread of infectious diseases besides abstaining from sex altogether.

What? He said he doesn't 'preferably' like using condoms himself?! Pope Francis has been a priest and was ordained in 1969, according to Wikipedia. He is not supposed to be having sex, right? Also, why in the world would he be doing this and not making any points tot he fact that people need to be married and having sex. In our eyes, he's using his position to bring out his own lustful desires. This is absurd!

This is not appropriate for the pope to be discussing. Again, instead of dealing with the sexual abuse of his priests in the organization, he wants to give us a sex education course that does not help the victims or the predators. Shame on him!!

Pastor A.B. Schirmer To Spend Life in Prison for Death of 2nd Wife

Former Pastor A.B. Schirmer To Spend Life in Prison for Death of 2nd Wife

We saw the full story of his life and the investigation on NBC's Dateline and he was really a seed for the church and any woman that was in contact with him. He's definitely getting exactly what he deserves for selfishly taking the lives of two women who loved him.

Report below:
A former Pennsylvania pastor was sentenced Monday to life in prison without parole in the fatal bludgeoning of his second wife in 2008.
Arthur "A.B." Schirmer, 64, was sentenced in Monroe County Court nearly two months after a jury convicted him of first-degree murder in the death of Betty Schirmer. The conviction brought an automatic life sentence.

"My mom is finally able to rest in peace," Betty Schirmer's son, Nate Novack, said after the sentencing. "We do have some closure and it's a great day overall, even though the life conviction isn't going to bring my mom back."

Schirmer is charged separately with killing his first wife, Jewel Schirmer, in 1999. He awaits trial in that case.

Prosecutors said he clubbed Betty Schirmer on the head with a crowbar, then loaded her into their car and staged a low-speed accident in an effort to conceal the crime. The former Methodist clergyman took the stand in his own defense and testified that he was driving her to the emergency room for treatment of jaw pain when he swerved to avoid a deer and hit a guard rail.

A jury deliberated about 90 minutes before returning its verdict.

Local police initially believed Betty Schirmer's July 2008 death was the result of a car crash. State police began a more thorough investigation months later, when a man committed suicide in Schirmer's office after learning the pastor was in a relationship with his wife, the church secretary.

The investigation into Betty Schirmer's death led police and prosecutors to take another look at Jewel Schirmer's case. Arthur Schirmer has long claimed he was out for a run on April 23, 1999, when he returned home to find Jewel Schirmer's body in a pool of blood at the bottom of the basement steps.

He was charged last September with killing her. He has maintained his innocence in both cases.

South African Cardinal Apologizes for 'Pedophilia Is not a Crime' Remark

Cardinal Wilfrid Fox Napier says pedophilia is a illness not a crime

South African Cardinal Issues Apology for Stating Pedophilia Is not a Crime

AT2W: We have heard this before from another case. Many of these church leaders make a lot of excuses for their fellow clergymen. They are offended when people go against them for their wrongdoings and instead of owning up to the crimes, they want the victims to feel at fault for what they did not cause. Only God can judge them but we know someone will burn in hell for the hurt and pain caused by men and women of the church and their blatant disregard for their disgusting acts.

Read report below:

A South African cardinal on Monday apologized for offending victims of child abuse when he described pedophilia as an illness and not a crime in a media interview.

Victims' rights groups and others said the comments by Cardinal Wilfrid Fox Napier, the Catholic Archbishop of Durban, comments were insensitive, especially given perceptions the Catholic Church has not done enough to root out abuse.
"I apologize sincerely and unreservedly to all who were offended by the botched interview, and especially to those who have been abused and need every help and support that the Church can give," Napier said in a statement.
Napier told BBC Radio 5 that pedophilia was a "disorder"and it needs to be treated.
"From my experience, pedophilia is actually an illness. It's not a criminal condition, it's an illness," he had said.
He also told the BBC a story about two priests he personally knows who became pedophiles after they were abused as children and therefore required treatment, not punishment.
"That's when the wheels came off. I now stand accused of saying that pedophilia is a mental condition or disorder and not a crime," Napier said in his statement.
"Child sexual abuse is a heinous crime among other things because of the damage it does to the child. In that concern I include the abused who has become an abuser."
We agree that pedophilia is an illness because it certainly is not a normal act but IT IS a crime as well. No one with good sense can deny that.

Pastor Jack Hayford’s Grandson Kidnapped Yet Returned


Pastor Jack Hayford's Grandson Kidnapped Yet Returned Safely Home

Foursquare missionary Kyle Bauer, the grandson of Pastor Jack Hayford, was kidnapped Thursday in Mexico, near Puerto Vallarta. The authorities worked together between the local police, the FBI, and the U.S. Embassy, the family and others in order to safely have Kyle returned to his family last week.
Charisma Magazine reported:

Bauer, 31, and his wife, Teresa, were appointed as Foursquare missionaries to Mexico in 2011 and were deployed in August 2012. Kyle has been a Foursquare-credentialed minister since 2003 and was ordained in 2006. The Bauers have four children.

pastor jack hayford
"We are grateful to God for bringing Kyle safely back home to his wife and children," said Foursquare president Glenn Burris Jr., who has kept apprised of the situation at every turn. "The prayer support that permeated the past 24 hours is a testimony to the miraculous outcome of this story."
We are happy things have worked out for the family of Pastor Jack Hayford. We all know that it is very difficult to get a family member back home alive coming from Mexico.

Bishop Eddie Long New Birth Academy Closes Due to Bad Economy/Low Enrollment? Right!

new birth academy closing
Bishop Eddie Long New Birth Academy to Close Due to Bad Economy/Low Enrollment

We all know that there is only one reason and one reason only why Eddie Long's academy is closing down: No one wants their children attending a school where many of his accusers attended and were sexually coerced by him. They can come up with as many excuses as they want, but that is the bottom line. Bishop Long and New Birth church will never be the same again. It will continue to crumble and be riddled with scandal until he comes clean and does right by those he's wronged over the years. This has even more to do with other issues and not just the sex scandal. We can't even mention all of the other financial schemes that have the church in court now because their bishop was trying to make a profit.

Enough said. Read below on the latest and more details on the New Birth academy closing.

Report from WSBTV:
New Birth Missionary Baptist Church confirms it will close down its Christian Academy at the end of this school year, citing a bad economy and low enrollment.
"The closing of Faith Community Christian Academy ends an era for one of Georgia's premier Christian schools," school officials said in a written statement.
The academy, located on New Birth church grounds in Lithonia, suddenly closed in January 2012 due to economic troubles, but reopened shortly after with help from a new partnership with a local private entity called the Aurora Schools. But it doesn't appear to be enough to save the school this time.
According to New Birth's website, the school opened in 1993 as New Birth Christian Academy, and at one time boasted an enrollment of more than 200 students. But a church spokesperson said the current enrollment is at about 40, not nearly enough to be able to keep the school economically viable.
He said this is a growing trend among private Christian academies as more and more of them are hit with economic hardships. The church does not believe the problems are related to the controversy surrounding church founder Bishop Eddie Long and allegations of sexual abuse.

Verizon Wireless Turns In Church Deacon For Pedophilia Found on His Online Account

Now, this is the type of news we like to hear. Whenever companies start being proactive in helping us catch predators, we are moving in the right direction. Read the report below.

Via Baltimore Sun reports:
William Steven Albaugh, 67, a deacon at St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church on Belair Road, was arrested at his Nottingham home at 7:45 a.m. Police had searched Albaugh’s Treadway Court home and said they found images of children on his Verizon Online account and on thumb drives.
Reports say police can not confirm at this time that the children were members of the church he attended.
He told police he has viewed child flicks since the 1970s, when he would go to adult bookstores in Baltimore, according to charging documents. Albaugh told police he saved the images to his computer but said he would never harm a child, the documents say.
It's a dangerous thing to have a man around who has been view kiddie porn since the 1970's!
Police said they recovered numerous files, including graphic images and videos.
A statement from the Archdiocese of Baltimore say Albaugh was ordained in 1996 and assigned to St. Joseph Church. The church  has suspended him from his duties and from the building.
“Neither the parish nor the Archdiocese has received any prior allegations against Mr. Albaugh, who successfully fulfilled all of the child & youth protection requirements of the Archdiocese, including a criminal history screening,” the statement said.
Detectives began investigating Albaugh after Verizon Online notified the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that Albaugh, a subscriber, had stored images of children engaged in sexual acts on the online cloud storage system, police said.
Police recovered two CPU towers, a laptop computer, multiple storage devices and an iPad. Albaugh told police that he used the tablet to view graphic websites that include pictures of children, according to charging documents.
Albaugh was released on $75,000 bond. The investigation is continuing, police said.

Pastor Michael Wilkerson of New Millennium Life Restoration Fellowship Convicted in Fraud Scandal


Pastor Michael Wilkerson of New Millennium Life Restoration Fellowship Convicted in Fraud Scandal

We have been waiting on an update to this terrible scandal of a man of God who used his position to take advantage of his church flock.

Pastor Michael Wilkerson with New Millennium Life Restoration Fellowship was convicted this week of getting $6 million in home loan fraud for properties in Schwenksville and Glenmoore.
The pastor is facing up to 180 years in prison.

The Patch.com reported:
Michael Wilkerson, 47, of Pottstown, along with Denise Haines, 43, of Birdboro, were convicted of devising a scheme to defraud the former Chase Manhattan Bank by fraudulently obtaining $6 million in home loans for properties in Schwenksville and Glenmoore.
Wilkerson, whose church – New Millennium Life Restoration Fellowship – has locations in Phoenixville and Spring City, recruited several of his congregants and their families to act as "straw purchasers" for a number of real estate transactions. So long as the congregants signed the loan documents and attended the property settlement, Wilkerson would pay them $15,000 – plus an additional $5,000 is they could refer another person to participate in the scheme.
Haines, who was employed as a mortgage broker with American Group Mortgage Corporation, would then knowingly submit fraudulent loan applications in the mortgage transactions with Chase Manhattan Bank, falsifying the appraised value of the properties, as well as the "straw purchaser's" assets and income. In doing so, Haines knew Chase Manhattan would approve the loans with minimal verification.
Once the loans were funded at the time of settlement, those involved in the scheme would manipulate the documents to appear as though the "straws" brought a large down-payment to closing. On the contrary, the money involved at settlement had actually come from Chase Manhattan, which the convicted then shared.
Even Wilkerson's wife, Joyce, pleaded guilty to assisting in the scheme by writing out checks to the "straws" and posing as a co-purchaser at the time of settlement, says Patch.com. Additionally, Lee Garell, a real estate broker who also pleaded guilty, prepared the sales paperwork and, along with Wilkerson, dictated the fraudulent terms in the settlement sheets, reports say.

Here's more of how the scheme went on:
After the settlement on the homes had wrapped up, Wilkerson took possession of all of the homes. The release states that he rented at least two of them while living in another. Mortgages were all paid with money from the scheme, as well as the rental income, until Wilkerson told the "straws" that they needed to pay their own mortgages. At that point, the loans fell into default, and then forclosure, resulting in a loss of roughly $3 million.
Wilkerson will be sentenced in June, and he and Haines both face a maximum of 180 years in prison, five years of supervised release and fines up to $6 million.

We surely hope folks take heed to this. It's not worth your integrity and the losing the faith of so many people who jeopardized their livelihoods and credit.
