The Dallas pastor facing felony charges of burglarizing a church member's home on Christmas Eve said Monday she had no criminal intent.

Sandy McGriff, 52, said she was trying to protect valuables at the home of her longtime friend Serita Agnew and made a horrible mistake.

Police accuse McGriff of stealing more than $10,000 worth of fur coats, designer purses and electronics from a home in the 2200 block of Village Way near Kiest Boulevard and Lancaster Road. She was also charged with resisting arrest.

McGriff spent most of Christmas Day in jail and was released on $26,000 bail in time for Sunday morning services at The Church of the Living God. The sanctuary is in the back of her husband's furniture store on Lancaster Road in east Oak Cliff.

McGriff invited reporters to her Grand Prairie home Monday to tell her side of the story. .......

now it's time to fleece the flock...

You are so right. For way too many preachers, it is no calling to preach the Gospel, it is an easy way to make a living (sometimes a very lucrative living)have access to extramarital sex, and ruin the faith and beliefs of the congregants.

She makes Octomom look sane.

And she's lying through her teeth.

Look closely at her body language.

I'm a "student", shall we say, of interrogation techniques. I learned to read body language.

She is lying every time she opens her mouth.

In fact, she even subconsciously thinks she is lying when she tells the truth.

This woman is a serial-liar.

Some of them have the unique ability to sway their listeners simply by the tone of voice, timbre, hand and facial expressions.

They usually make good pastors (or preachers, considering the pure definition of the word) and politicians...and do most often make good (although not necessarily successful) crooks.

In her case, however, I see her as moderately successful in swaying what some would term "gullible" minds.

Apparently, that is what her "flock" consists of.

The biggest sin in this story is a woman pastor. The apostle Paul had much to say about a woman’s role in the church.

Give her time. It’s hard for one kitteh to take on the troubles of the world. Maybe a superhero costume would help?
