TEXARKANA, Ark. (AP) — Evangelist Tony Alamo preyed on his loyal followers' young daughters, once taking a girl as young as 8 as his bride and repeatedly sexually assaulting her, a federal prosecutor said Tuesday.

dude, you ain’t a Muslim

I’ve heard him on late night radio.
Strange man.

I guess they have proof. Wonder what the little girl says.

[svcw]

Never heard of this guy.
If its true, hang him.

[mgstarr]

I don’t trust a federal prosecutor to tell the truth anymore than I expect a defense attorney to. That said this guy is probably a complete scum.

If convicted... put a wig on him and marry him to Bubba...

[vladimir998]

Oh, he’s been around for years. In 1991 a friend of mine gave me one of his tracts he found on the street. In the tract, Alamo claimed Pope John Paul II was a Nazi war criminal who produced Zyklon B to exterminate Jews.

I think this is it: http://www.alamoministries.com/content/english/Antichrist/Fugitive_Pope.html

“It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.” Luke 17:2

Oh, good grief.
I’ll take a look at the link.

Don’t even want to know. This is in God’s Hands.

Tony Alamo ping.

[TomGuy]

Susan was the evangelist, until she died of cancer.

Then, Tony took over and was supposed to resurrect her some time later. IIRC.

[I guess he never got around to it.]

Why don’t you ping your fellow anti Mormon cabal members to this thread. This should be fun making fun of ‘Christians’ : )

[Marie2]

Don’t want to get into a mud slinger here, but I’d like to point out that “Christians” put out these stories and repudiate the bad guys. It has been my observation that Mormons, at least on the threads I’ve seen, don’t want to criticize or repudiate fellow Mormons who are outed as evildoers.

Fair criticism? If not, fine. It has been my observation, that’s all.

[Marie2]

For an instant example, one I did not even anticipate, see the thread three or four entries after this one, describing the “Catholics for Kerry” guy getting indicted for pimping. He is being outed and criticized, not covered and excused.

[svcw]

Well, I'll be, where have you been?
I don't have a ping list.
And it is not mormon it is mormonism.
And there is a difference, Christians condemn this kind of action...........

[constitutiongirl]

Years ago there was a poster here who claimed the same thing.

[constitutiongirl]

He looks like Johnny Cash and the Mrs. looks like Tammy Wynette.

It has been my observation that Mormons, at least on the threads I’ve seen, don’t want to criticize or repudiate fellow Mormons who are outed as evildoers.

Fair criticism? If not, fine. It has been my observation, that’s all.

Then you would agree that all Christians support marrying 8 year old children? That is the equivalent observation.

[LeGrande]

And there is a difference, Christians condemn this kind of action...........

You mean some Christians condemn this, obviously not all Christians, because they are doing it aren't they?
