Nothing fucked me up more than at the end of the film Spotlight and they gave locations and one of them was very close to where i live and i was just like wtf

but the priest i had when i was forced to go to church as a kid was pretty cool

talked to him on his retirement day when i was a teen and i asked if he had seen Jaws when he was younger and he said yes

Never heard anyone come out and say he was a pedophile so i guess he was a good one

My childhood hometown of less than 1000 people that no one knows is mentioned in the credits of Spotlight.

Scandals in the Evangelical Church: my bff from church and the preacher's son's years old affair

[ladyjj]

I shouldn't laugh but this was practically every church I went to from age 17 to 30.

laugh. that family was A MESS. the oldest son was my friend's bf on the dl, the preacher was old and a pervert and money hungry and the wife left with one guy from church that was married and also left his family. they moved not long after the scandal to a different church. the mom came back like two years after and i learned the gossip because my friend met with the son for years after he got married.

eta my phone ate part of the message, sorry

oh heres a scandal or just plain awfulness and not praciting what you preach

Joel(i forget his last name) but he has a super huge church and is very very rich

well there was a hurricane or something and everything flooded but his church was dry

and he refused to let people shelter here

and to qoute from the animated castlevania "there is no god in that "church",he's not here"\

practice what you preach asshole

[ladyjj]

That would be Joel Osteen and I cannot WAIT to be able to start the research to put that legit piece of garbage on blast.

i worked at a baptist church for awhile, it was...eye-opening. needless to say, i havent been back since the day i left

I love this! Evangelical Christian scandals give me joy like nothing else and yesterday I found out about Greater Ministries International and Gerard Payne, who had a $500 million Ponzi scheme and while in jail claimed that God was gonna pay people back.
