A pastor of a New Jersey church is charged with molesting children.

Pastor Harry Thomas, leader of America’s largest Christian music fest, suspended by the Come Alive New Testament church in Medford, NJ, is charged with eight criminal counts.

The congregation is “devastated” by this revelation, and the remaining enablers will be “comforted” by trustee William Darpino who released the following statement.

“It is with deep regret and saddened hearts that the Elders and Trustees of Come Alive New Testament Church have indefinitely suspended Pastor Harry Thomas from all leadership positions with the church, festival, and all associated ministries.” 

“While the allegations are unrelated to his roles in these ministries, leadership has determined this to be the proper course of action at this time until there can be a full investigation,” stated church leaders.

“It is requested that all pray for the parties involved and refrain from speculation regarding the circumstances.”

Thomas, charged with one count of aggravated sexual assault, three counts of sexual assault and four counts of endangering the welfare of children awaits trial.

Thomas denies the charges and has asked for God’s forgiveness. Curious as he claimed he didn’t do anything to warrant forgiveness.

Forgiveness, along with God’s grace, means he renews his first class ticket to heaven.

Thoughts and prayers, an overused Christian expression, is welcome, provided Thomas is going straight to hell.

Thomas remains at an undisclosed location under guard. Police urge any other victims to come forward.

I’d really like to see some statistics about how many child molesters are religious leaders, how many are political leaders, etc. I don’t expect we will now that the Trumperverts are tightening their grip with their lists of forbidden words.

But it’s not only the perpetrators, it’s a system that immediately launches a smear campaign against an accuser, even if the “she was askin’ fer it” victim is 12 years old.

That seems to be the methodology in everything these days – attack the accuser and no holds barred.

Praise the buybull Jess. I know a lot of Bull believers that would screech for shame from the pulpit and head home to catalog their collections of kiddy porn.

I often wonder how law enforcement deals with that type of thing on a regular basis. Must be disheartening when you come across victims of abuse and some cannot even tell you what happened to them. It truly makes me rethink my position on the death penalty at times. I’m against it in case any of you were wondering, but there are times that thinking is truly in jeopardy when I hear about abuse against innocents.

I am shocked to my very core that a holy man has been caught diddling kids. No really, shocked to my core that a repressed buybull believer that thinks females are less than, has done this to females.

While the allegations are unrelated my ass, it’s all about their ministry because as you all know, we women are temptresses, even at young ages. Men are just not safe to be around us lest we lead them to temptation.
