September 19, 200818 yr Its sad to think of how this man used and abused his stature in society to front such an operation. I can't imagine how the people that attend that church must feel. :thumb: The really sad thing is that this kind of thing is probably going on all over, not just this area or Kentucky. As I had heard before and I don't know who said it first but it is true from our Federal Government to State, County and Cities.................."This country is becoming more and more Morally bankrupt", and imo has been for many years.

I really don't think so, Oldrambler. While I'm sure this is not an isolated incident, I think you're underestimating just how many sincere, dedicated pastors we have of all faiths. But, that's just my opinion. Drugs have taken a powerfull hold on our people and the lure of money to people so deeply entrenched in poverty is obviously more than some can resist. Sadly, many years ago I left a large city to raise my children in rural Kentucky as I was raised. Had I known then what I know not, I would have stayed where I was. I hate drugs.

I certainly did not mean that all pastors did this or it was even close to a majority. I apologize if anyone took it that way. My comments were meant to say that imo this goes on in other places as well and "probably" more than we would want to believe. So, I am not underestimating the number of good, sincere and helpful pastors that there are. I stated as much in post 13 when I said this kind of thing stereotypes pastors, churches and christians and nothing could be further from the truth. Again, I certainly did not mean to say that this was common or wide spread at all and I hope that this post clears that up. :thumb:

No apology needed, I should have realized what you meant after reading post 13. :thumb:
September 20, 200818 yr If I'm not mistaken, they may lead the entire nation in that category. Sadly,I believe you may be correct!
September 20, 200818 yr From the article. "Reid's brother, Sammy, claims two men and Larry Jackson, a federal fugitive whom officials say the couple hid..." These people were hiding a federal fugitive?
