Hey I was part of that program. One of the worst years of my life. That church hurt a lot of people..
Why is this the business of the national news media? Somebody at NBC heard about it, was offended and therefore all of America should know and care?
20yrs to late one of the reasons runaway rate is high
Sounds like good ole boys having a good ole time.
Yeah. That sounds about right.
Mark 1:15 KJV
Another sick Jim Jones type cult. Definitely not Christian.
The first rule of Church Program……..
😬 Y’all please remember when black people were being lynched especially in the south that it was at the hands of church going “Christians “. I am surprised but not really.
All church's are a cult to control people and take money from the weak minded.
This ended 8 years ago… why not do something useful and broadcast the KKK March in front of the capitol in the early nineteen hundreds.
Religion= mental disease
How many of them lost their faith because of the church of GOP?
Maybe dont put a pic of Corky the editor as the thumbnail making us think he was the subject of the title.
Sounds like Baton Rouge to me! That is why I hope to never, ever visit there!!!
America appears to have spawned an entirely new denomination of Christianity based on the white right. And it is squarely placing itself as a 'true' religion. You are in deep political sh*t in America with a rapidly consolidating minority with decidedly fascist tendencies. The problem is they have all the $$, all the guns, and little tolerance. Add 'Cuz God said we could' and you have a recipe for disaster – civil war and genocide.
YouTube keeps removing my comment. In comparison to the katholic preests this is nothing they sek tually abuse wonder age boys regularly
Sounds like normal church. The people of the bible fought many wars for their nonexistent god. You might not want to leave your kids alone with the pastor though.
Religion sucks!!
Currently, the South Korean military does not provide food or restrooms to soldiers. Please point out this issue at the center of the USFK. It cannot be changed by the power of the Republic of Korea.
Trying to turn Christians into Al-Qaida when most are spineless / brainless Republicans.
For a split second I thought that was Bill Hader in some sort of getup.
Just another day in religious america. But hey we are supposedly taking away their freedom of religion……right? It's time we stop denying this crap goes on !
These places can be extremely uncomfortable for these teens. Mentally and physically abusive. Can they restrain clients?
clever way to get people to turn against christians. these arent christians, but imposters.
Let young men be men
Church, "for those we have disappointed in any way we are greatly sorry."
Disappointed? More like HARMED, VIOLATED, ATTACKED!
And the worms ate into their brains waiting for a train that’ll never come.
