Obviously, this bunch missed the Bible’s advice to be “wise as serpents.”

What fools. You don’t just take a guy’s word that he’s not a sex offender! They all bear responsibility for the damage done to this 14 year old boy.

While Yoakem is truly vile, the entire group in charge of hiring him should also swing from a gallows with him. So long as we're going down that road...
[Faithful Departed author Philip Lawler] points out that while less than five percent of American priests have been accused of sexual abuse, some two-thirds of our bishops were apparently complicit in cover-ups. The real scandal isn't the sick excesses of a few dozen pedophiles, or even the hundreds of priests who had affairs with teenage boys -- the bulk of abuse cases. No, according to Lawler, it is the malfeasance of wealthy, powerful, and evidently worldly men who fill the thrones -- but not the shoes -- of the apostles. In case after case, we read in their correspondence, in the records of their soulless, bureaucratic responses to victims of psychic torture and spiritual betrayal, these bishops' prime concern was to save the infrastructure, the bricks and mortar and mortgages. Ironically, their lack of a supernatural concern for souls is precisely what cost them so much money in the end.

I would like to know what other Pastors have to say about this, so please if you are a Pastor, please identify yourself and your denomination.

Ya beat me to it, I was gonna say just that. Another way of saying it is “don’t be so open minded that your brains fall out!”.

“Yoakem joined New Gospel Outreach Church after Billy Minix, the church’s long-time pastor, was accused of embezzling $300,000. “
Open minded? These people just can’t seem to win for losing. I think it’s just best to fold in the cards and walk off.

Let me be the first to call this for "Homosexual Agenda" ping.
They are everywhere. (Everywhere, where there are children.)
There are too many laws protecting the perps, but not the victims.
This monster needs to take a short trip to his Eternity. Smoking or non-smoking? How do you vote, Freepers?

I can recall nothing in the bible that states that believers in Christ must be earth shatteringly stupid and gullible. and as far as forgiveness: Forgive, but do not forget, and for petes sake, use the brains the good lord gave you for something other than a hat rack!

You know what? We have it all wrong. He should be a preacher just not at this church. This is Kentucky after all so send him over to that bunch that handles snakes and let’s see how he does over there. Wanna place a wager on how fast the rattlesnakes bite him?

Could not tell you, never been to one of their services not that I would want to. Only hear about them because every now and then one of their preachers assumes room temperature due to a snake bite.

“We’re firm believers in the Bible, so if God’s forgiven you, then we’re in no position to treat you otherwise,” Bratcher said.
Being firm believers in the Bible you should know better than to hire a professional for hire preacher.
