While I don’t disagree, isn’t this one of those cases where he died before the trial, so he’s legally considered innocent because he didn’t get the chance to face his accusers? ---

Probably, but you cannot defame the dead, so no need to put “alleged” qualifiers in news articles. ---

Reading that article about the murderous youth pastor, he sounded really suspicious so good job on the part of the investigators who determined that his story about trying for a sunrise photo didn’t match the time of sunrise. Because otherwise it sounded like a hard one to prove. ---

A vacation Bible school skit shows armed commandos entering a room and executing the ‘devil’ as the children, led by the pastor, cheer them on. > A video shared on social media shows four adults dressed in military-style clothing carrying air rifles or paintball guns as they surround and repeatedly “shoot” a person on the ground in front of a crowd of children and adults. > > In the clip, the person thrashes on the ground, while the sound of gunfire erupts. Some scream, some cheer, while others join Walker in chanting: “Take him out, blow him up!” > > The soldiers then carry the individual outside as the pastor begins counting. At the eight-second mark, the sound of an explosion can be heard, followed by cheers and screams of children. The video is linked within this [article](https://fox56news.com/news/local/lexington/children-watch-as-devil-is-executed-by-firing-squad-in-lexington-church-skit/) from a local television station. ---

I love me a good old Catholic schism. Though the Pius guys can just go fuck themselves and I’m strongly in camp Vatican there. They are vile, toxic and holocaust deniers. ---

Yes, FTR, these are the same Holocaust-denying sedevacantists who were previously excommunicatex by JP2 and then de-excommunicated by Benedict XVI, who presumably furrowed his brow and decided they’d learned their lesson. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > then de-excommunicated by Benedict XVI, who presumably furrowed his brow and decided they’d learned their lesson. Reconciliation/penance/confession/Forgiveness of sins is one of the 7 sacraments. Obviously, the hierarchy takes the “I’m reformed” statement at face value much to often (see the oft-moved pedo-priests). ---

Feh. In my day, you had to march barefoot to Canossa and be ritually humiliated by the Pope by having to kneel in the snow for three days and nights before the forgiveness kicked in. ---

Youth pastor. Avoid any church that has one on staff, folks. Youth programs are great. Full time youth pastors are not. Oh, I’m sure there are some who don’t do anything inappropriate, but they do not seem to be the majority. ---

Sixteen children from one family (no trafficking) kept in a 12" x 12" room for four years under inhumane conditions.

Luxury! We had to live in a Yahtzee cup! All fifteen of us, morning and night, packed in there with the dice. Every morning we’d wake up, clean cup, and then spend all day getting jostled back and forth by pikers playing dice. But it were home to us!
