Re: What I appreciate about the Catholic Church

I like that the Catholic church is committed to Jesus first and doctrine/ideals. The liturgy can be beautiful and rich, based on truth and tradition. They have large communities in many metro area with a strong emphasis on education.

Re: Soliciting

I did not see the date of the newsletter until pointed out on this forum. So fbep would have no connection at the time of his arrest. I still have questions why numerous church leaders have faced allegations. But that is a question for another day. When you say "numerous church leaders have fa...

Re: Soliciting

A search of the FBEP web site reveals no hits with that name. If there was a Roy Gingerich associated with FBEP he seems to have been purged. He's in all the old newsletters. Why would he still be listed elsewhere on the site if he's no longer actively involved? That doesn't mean he was "purge...

Somebody knows something, this is the only link that is now available with his name on it. Stuff can be scrubbed.

Soliciting

This is copied and pasted from the FBEP website about a board member: Roy Gingerich, his wife, Arlene, and their family live in Uniontown, Ohio. Roy is a retired school teacher who taught junior high social studies for 31 years. He still works as a substitute teacher. Roy enjoys singing and has sung...

Re: Bibles for China Scam

I tend to lean towards the view that he started out with good intentions and got corrupted by either needs or greed. I mean… you fall into the sin of gambling and then you end up without enough to pay the bills… 1 time leads to 2 and before long it’s no longer a “mistake” or a bad choice but rather...

Re: Bibles for China Scam

Of course mission work as a whole does not depend on money, but my point is that some mission work today in fact does. And interestingly enough even Jesus' mission work required some sort of funding. (Judas of coursed pilfered it, not unlike the villain of this thread.) Apparently Jesus was neglige...

Books by Howard Bean Due to credible allegations about the personal life of Howard Bean, Christian Light is no longer selling any books he has written. Christian Light takes sexual abuse seriously and has not accepted any new materials from Howard since 2020. Christian Light is working toward replac...

Re: Howard Bean

Who is familiar with his writings and teachings? As a conference moderator, conference newsletter editor and traveling preacher he had the opportunity to shape attitudes toward abuse. Does he encourage the silence of victims and not seeking justice? Does he discourage the use of professionals who ar...

Re: Howard Bean

Somehow I figured out I’m not supposed to touch a girl’s rear end or chest by the time I was age 10 or so. This man achieved being a bishop, a schoolteacher, and an author, but claimed ignorance of knowing he shouldn’t touch female students in those places. I'm with Josh. I didn't have any sisters ...
