  2. How people could not have known is amazing to me, because I KNEW it the moment I met him. And everyone should have questioned that he was even a pastor at all, since he stunk, hardly ever bathed, refused to change his hygiene although directed to by his immediate boss, and hovered with the most morbid glee over the dieing residents at the nursing home, and other employees said they felt as tho he undressed them with his eyes. If you had a pastor that literally stunk and you could SEE he was not clean and wore the same clothes many days in a row, wouldn't YOU question him? YOU SHOULD HAVE. I know I DID.

  3. OH, and by the way.....two women stepped forward and said he molested them when they were 4 or 5 years old. He was found guilty. He did confess to all. And he got 8 years.
