DECATUR, Ga. - The 80-year-old leader of a suburban Atlanta megachurch is at the center of a sex scandal of biblical dimensions: He slept with his brother's wife and fathered a child by her.
Full storyhere.
"It was a necessary evil to bring us back to a God-consciousness," said the younger Paulk, explaining that the church had become too personality-driven and prone to pastor worship.
Ah yes, those saved by Christ are only human and yet are morally indistinguishable from non-Christians. What did Christ allegedly say on this matter? "Ye shall know them (Christ's followers) by their works."
Megachurch = megascam for the megagullible.

Very cool avatar! How come mine is limited to 80*80 and you get a larger one? *pouts*
"My uncle is 100 percent guilty, but his accusers are guilty as well," D.E. Paulk said, declining to talk further about the lawsuits.
Ahhhhhhm, yes. Those damn accusers. Once more let's check our Bible to see what it has to say on the matter: "The Truth shall set you free."
If only they followed the tenets with special emphasis on coveting thy neighbor's wife.

>>>>"Ye shall know them (Christ's followers) by their works."
This is a favorite of mine when describing the history of Christianity. 
"Earl Paulk manipulated her into an affair from 1989 to 2003 by telling her it was her only path to salvation."
So, is there a difference between compassion and pity? Cause I can't find room for pity, for ANYONE involved.

Goes to show the intelligence of this christian. And then they come and preach to me because they "know" what the truth is. Fools rush in where the wise rush out. Stupid.

I frequently bestow 'blessings' on my female disciples, the main difference being it is not against my teachings.

You guys don't think it would be fun to be involved in that kind of a situation?

good question!
-------------------- Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say "I think," "I am," but quotes some saint or sage. He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose.Man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time TRANSCEND
