Sheriff’s officials say when deputies got to the church, they found a charred wooden cross propped up against the church’s sign near the road. Investigators have collected evidence from the scene for submission and analysis.
The predominantly black congregation, 200 members strong, has called Burnet home for nearly ten years. They meet out in the country on FM 2342 northeast of Kingsland.
Pastor Willie L Monnet, Sr. founded the church in New Orleans, and was forced to relocate after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Second, there is no way a burning cross was merely scorched and the sign it was leaned against was barely marked. That sign is out on the road and it would have taken a while for the fire to be noticed as the church buildings are a ways away. Someone had to have been standing right there to put it out in such a short time for practically no damage to have occurred.
There has never been any backlash against the church. That said, it was very convenient the Baptist Church just happened to have decided to do away with their holding of hundreds of acres of the highest appraised land in the county at the very time to take in that Katrina crowd. Lakefront property with a church, defunct orphanage, adm buildings, houses, etc. A huge amount of the original Baptist Church property's ranch land was parceled out and became a golf course and developed with mcmansions but where the Smoking for Jesus Church is is mucho prime land and still not taxed. They've built "church" homes for their dozens of church elders.
WHAT... if WILLIE(and minions) made and burnt the Cross?..
Any bets?
arson for insurance?
arson to claim victim status?
Sounds like another False Flag operation.
Find out where Eric Holder was the night this happened.
False flag again, and again, and again, yet the media religiously goes directly to a vast right wing whatever...
Whether real or faked, the people doing such a stupid thing should be jailed for a very, very long time. Zero tolerance for things like this will stop it real quick.
I’m thinking it’s some anti-smoking Nazis trying to counter the “Smoking for Jesus” slogan. ;-)
Yup....the 15 minute Pastor is looking for contributions....
See, barely scorched. No way anyone could have noticed it and run all the way out to put it out with so little damage.
I don’t see the cross in the video. The only one I’m seeing is the one on the pulpit or whatever it is. That one isn’t a tree branch. Help me out here.
Devoid of the cloth and wire, the boards of the two crosses appear to be of similar character.
That one isn’t a tree branch.
*************
Where are you getting ‘tree branch’ from? The one in the pulpit and the one
burnt are of similar construction but not of the same size.
“When someone burns a cross in your yard the best fire hose is an AK-47.”-General Laney, Detroit- Motor City Sportsman’s Association.
You’re right the wood has been milled. I’m thinking a leftover Christmas prop.
Check out google maps for 1804 FM 2342, Kingsland, TX. You’ll see a rock house on a newly paved road. The houses around there are “church” houses. All the land that’s mowed is tax free church land. Going west on the road, you’ll see a car for sale by a big rock. There is a small sign in front of the rock and that’s where this new and improved scorched sign is located.
So, you have your curtains closed because it’s cold outside and it’s night but at the opportune moment, you peek outside and see something. How fast could you identify a burning cross, put on your shoes, grab some water and run all the way over there to save the day?
Pretty sad. I went to school with many of those “ranch boys” from Buckner’s.
Did somebody hand Madonna Constantine a matchbook?
