We in Jacksonville know which "independent baptist pastor" was reported to have covered up a known pedophile's behavior.<br /><br />And compared to Messer, Mac Brunson has done nothing worth blogging about. Mac was greedy and abusive in his preaching and administration, but he did not cover for a known pedophile and did not facilitate that pedophile going to another country to "serve" like Catholic priests that were found out. The local news articles on Trinity, and Messer's reported involvement, are more troubling than anything you harp on about Mac Brunson. <br /><br />How could anyone listen to Messer preach without it occuring to them that this apparently great and godly man, covered for a known pedophile? That would bother me more than his receiving a land gift or issuing trespass warnings.<br /><br />What else might Trinity and Messer be hiding? Why no public repentance and apology to the community from Tom Messer?<br /><br />Too bad there is no "Trinity Baptist Watchdog" to hold those "conservative" boys accountable for the children that were abused while under their trusting care.<br /><br />This case sounds very similar and yet you refuse to mention Tom Messer by name?<br /><br />Tom Messer, Tom Messer, Tom MesserAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384632623933772727.post-54433012740640541882010-06-18T11:39:17.669-04:002010-06-18T11:39:17.669-04:00Quite possibly this will be a lesson for many to f...Quite possibly this will be a lesson for many to follow - a lesson in HOW TO APPROPRIATELY handle this type of church scandal.<br /><br />I know nothing of this Pastor, but I am thankful that he is facing this terrible scandal within his church and being transparent about it! Thank you!<br /><br />People are still unaware of how often this type of church cover up happens. The act itself is bad enough, add in the secrecy and cover up...but just to make sure we really "deal with it" you guys go ahead and humiliate and discredit the victim as well. It is truly sickening. To make this girl apologize for what happened to her, to tell her she is "lucky" she wasn't stoned...<br />the saddest part is I have heard so many stories like this. <br /><br />To victims - God knows your every heartache and He does care! These deeds will not go unpunished. You have fallen into the hands of sinful man, but you ARE the apple of God's eye! Don't let them win by silencing you.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14625097907094287176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384632623933772727.post-68727508288182468972010-06-17T19:05:39.591-04:002010-06-17T19:05:39.591-04:00I had never heard of this incident until reading a...I had never heard of this incident until reading about it on watchdog blog. It is ridiculous to me that this could have happened to this lady who was then a child. How a pastor could have said to her the things he did is just unbelievable. We are to love and enemies but I don't think we have to protect a sexual deviate. We have to remember satan is god of this world and it seems to me that is whom some were worshipping. I have pastored many yrs. have had on occasion to deal with unsavory activity. I know that all manner of sin can be forgiven but there has to be true repentance. I don't think in this case true repentance was sought. Keep exposing wrong doing watch, it may really help someone who needs it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384632623933772727.post-71731670059192469162010-06-17T17:59:27.973-04:002010-06-17T17:59:27.973-04:00Not to be picky but it is "Concord" New ...Not to be picky but it is "Concord" New Hampshire, not "Concorde".<br /><br />And pronounced like "Con-cuhd".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384632623933772727.post-74919061372573519622010-06-17T11:30:07.149-04:002010-06-17T11:30:07.149-04:00"And thank goodness for the "bloggers&qu..."And thank goodness for the "bloggers"...as the WMUR reporter says at the end of her piece"<br /><br />Amen & Amen!<br /><br />Interesting: Just opposite of what Brunson told a Jacksonville reporter - he firmly believes bloggers are beauty shop gossipers,calls people questioning issues as sociapaths and has his sidekicks calling them cowards.<br /><br />Thank God for good journalist! Oh forgot, with tears (ha) he faked apology to the congregation saying he mispoke. Sorry, not believable - he meant every word spoken to the reporter!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
