Holy Crap: Get a Job Edition
Kyle Adcock worked at Woodward Avenue Baptist Church in Alabama. He was charged with 29 counts of sexually abusing a 14 year old girl between 2010-2012.
The charges are still pending but Adcock was released on bail after his mother testified that if he was released there was a job waiting for him in Texas.
At the First Baptist Church of Bedford.
First Baptist Church Pastor Steve Knott insisted to KDFW that the church usually performed background checks on employees, but said that Adcock was only working as a temporary employee in the music ministry. Knott also argued that Adcock had not yet been convicted of a crime.
You gotta wonder how big a love offering was made to get that job.
Thanks to Charles for the heads up.
Gee, I guess a temporary employee can only temporarily molest a child, so that makes it okay.
1Please tell me the position being offered was “Youth Minister”.
No, dont, please don’t say that.
2So many churches.. so many children.. so little time. Religion is merely camouflage for one type of predator or another…
3The Forced Birthers are only concerned about fetuses; family values, not so much.
4As much as I sometime detest the positions my Baptist brothers (and sisters) take, I don’t wish a child molester in their midst. I do object to this disgusting Ala-dam-bama export to Texas however. We already have far too many child molesters working at Texas Baptist churches. And teaching in Texas school districts.
5My goodness, what they will say to cover up just how feeble minded they prefer to be!
6FYI: Baptist pastor, John F. Gibson Jr., professor at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, took his own life less than a week after his name was published as a customer of Ashley Madison.

7How do you tell when it is bedtime in the rectory/chapel/church etc? When the big hand is on the little hand.
Disclaimer-child abuse is a serious problem and I am not flippantly making jokes about the crime. Just the perpetrators.
8Wouldn’t it be nice is that pastor protected children in his ‘flock’?
9I am guessing, the Duggars just told Josh to fly to Bedford. On their private jet, of course.
10“Suffer the Little Children”
did not mean this.
Damn.
11Luke 17:2 and Matthew 18:6 both say that it would be better that a millstone should be hanged about a man’s neck and he be cast in the sea than that he should offend one of the children or “cause them to stumble”.
Sometimes Biblical punishment isn’t a bad idea.
12So his MOTHER got him out by telling the judge she found him a job at a church in another state. Is that all it takes?? Who is the judge and the prosecutor who went along with it?
13Closet Optimist – that’s the part I don’t understand either. Why would you let someone out on bail leave the state.
I have to go cry for my country now.
14Hey y’all, there are at least two sites that try to bring these matters into the open. It’s hard to do. The Baptists are about as good as the Catholics at hiding these things. The good ole boy network at your service.

I guess I should have added the oft-quoted here Kinky Friedman quip, “The only thing wrong with Southern Baptists is that they don’t hold ’em under long enough.”
16Aren’t the Baptists trying a little too hard this time to prove they are better than the Catholics?

18How does “out on bail” mean leave the state and surround yourself with children? Something very wrong here.
19I understand that Baptists practice immersion but gave up on stoning …
Sounds like they got their priorities bass ackwards …
