Understood. Point still stands as the ICC is not a Christian church according to North American Mission Board and Cult Watch.

Prosecute to the fullest extent if guilty. No room for this type of behavior from anyone in this society.

Who do they think they are?
Church of Scientology?
Jehovah Witness?
Catholic?

I would say if any person employed by a church is convicted of a sexual offense, the church should lose their tax exempt status… but then they would just cover this **** up even harder.
I would say if any person employed by a public school is convicted of a sexual offense, the public school should lose their taxpayer funding… but then they would just cover this crrp up even harder.

Why don't you make a point, otherwise it's just another terrible news story. The point of F16 is "politics" so just go ahead and make a statement as to why you felt the need to post the article.

You know perfectly well you won't find one conservative on this board that will goaltend it. If the accused have committed these crimes, let justice be served, harshly.

I won't even require that (pretty tough standard and impossible to implement), how about any church that doesn't report crimes loses their tax status - forever.

Some churches are going woke too. It's infecting everything. Will take some time to irradicate. .

Put them in the wood chipper just like every Democrat groomer. No one should be safe from this.
You ok with Republican groomers? Just wondering why there is a need to specify?


How dense are you?

Op made this numb-nuts thread thinking he had a gotcha & that conservatives would defend pedophilic behavior

All the conservatives have said to lock up the sickos

Only liberals defend pedo groomers
LOL... apparently pretty dense. Isn't cross-dressing Republican representative George Santos an elected Republican office holder. Let me guess... he is really a dim pretending to be a Republican. Like it or not, every group has sick individuals, so saying "all of the conservatives have said to lock up the sickos" is disingenuous at best. There are plenty of sickos everywhere, including the Republican party. If you don't believe that, how dense are you?

Quote:

Roland and her attorney, Bobby Samini, have filed a series of lawsuits against the International Churches of Christ abbreviated as ICOC which allege that its leaders failed to report as well as plotted to conceal the sexual and emotional abuse of women and children who worshipped alongside them.


Quote:

The lawsuits, which seek damages, describe disturbing instances of molestation against minors. And they accuse the ICOC, its founder, Thomas "Kip" McKean, and associated organizations of creating "a widespread culture of acceptance of the abuse of children".

"What happened to your girls isn't that big of a deal," a church elder allegedly told a mother of two young girls who were sexually assaulted on church grounds, according to a February filing. "Most girls have been molested by the time they reach 18."

Skin alive anyone who sexually grooms or molests little kids. I think everyone is on board with this.

Understood. Point still stands as the ICC is not a Christian church according to North American Mission Board and Cult Watch.
Poor regular old Church of Christ gets linked to all of these wacky "XXX Church of Christ" denominations constantly...when they could not be more different.

Poor? One of the most judgemental and cultish mainstream Christian sects out there...it's not really a surprise. I was tortured with that nonsense until I turned 18 and said no more.

It's basically Baptist without the pianos and harps imo. You think the Southern Baptists or most traditional churches are A-OK with the rampant LGBTQ stuff? And just like those churches, depends on which one you go to...I think most have grown out of the small-town "fire and brimstone" type stuff.

I wouldn't expect a trans or gay person who engages in those sexual activities to like ANY church that follows scripture.

That being said...it seems extremely rare to hear trans and LGBTQ people speak out against mastectomies and hormone therapy and the like for minors and even children, so maybe these churches were ahead of the curve? Jesus says it would be better to have a millstone tied around your neck and for you to be cast out to see than to face the punishment that awaits you if you lead children astray. Churches kind of follow Jesus...that's the whole point.

So what should happen to an administration that employs a freak show that gets arrested for stealing women's clothing from airports?
Not that's its comparable at all to sexual abuse...But I'm fairly confident this administration realizes they screwed the pooch hiring that guy and the damage done to any future similar hires is done. I'd wager that's the last goofball like that they hire. (or at least here's hoping).

Would be nice but most lefties also think socialism works if they get their chance to lead it

To the OP - burn'em all. Rapists, child rapists, groomers - I could not care less what letter is next to their name.

I remember just 2 weeks ago that OPs were getting deleted constantly with a message that the bans would get longer if they continue to post an article, a few quotes, provide zero of their own talking points, then ghost the thread.

Staff - take out the trash.

I spent my entire youth trapped in one, listening to visiting preachers, reading the propaganda... you have an opinion, I'm unfortunately overly familiar with doctrine and practice.
