Was browsing thru the net when I came across some very disturbing stories about some pastor in the US and it made me feel good about my decision of not going to church.
<<<Rev. Patrick Dennis had sex with women of his congregation, including a mother and daughter. The deacons say Dennis paid for the daughter's abortion, fathered a child upon another parishioner's wife, and attacked a person at the church with a baseball bat.
The board claims that members of another church, the Mount Zion Baptist Church, warned them that Rev. Dennis was a womanizer, but Rev. Dennis promised in 1997 that he would not do it again.
However, the deacons say they recently received complaints that the Rev. Dennis attacked a person at the church with a baseball bat, fathered a child upon a parishioner's wife, and stole money from the congregation's offerings. The cuckolded husband says Dennis' paternity was proved by DNA test, according to the complaint. >>>>
<<as if that's not enough,,there's a former porn star who's going around telling everyone that she's been 'called to the ministry' and she's working on becoming an Evangelist." >>
and back here in Mzantsi, a very respectable former Bishop decided to join politics and leave his 'calling'.
my questions are:
How are we suppose to trust these people.
Are they using church to cover up for what they get up to behind closed doors?
Are we so much into money and power that God has to take the back sit?
Would you still go to that same church if your pastor has been accused and charged with what Rev Dennis has been accused of.
Mina ngithi, I will rather read my bible @ home and pray @ home than go to a church and listen to a phoney.
ps: i WILL delete any reply that i find insulting to me or any other blocker. and guys, this is my 1st article, so please be gentle with me, ♫i bruise easily♫
