[Not ashamed]

I am a former member of TPC, I was baptized in Jesus' name and received the gift of the Holy Ghost in that church years ago when it was still Whitehaven UPC. TB was my pastor for over 15 years, he was one of the most influential mentors in my life for many years. Although I and my family now attend another apostolic church just outside Memphis, I have extended family and friends that still attend TPC. Viewing this unfolding situation, even from afar, has shocked me to my core and my heart hurts for the sweet saints at TPC. I thought I knew TB as a man of integrity and wisdom...knowing the confusion that I feel over this debacle, I cannot imagine the magnitude of what TPC'ers are feeling right now.

TPC folks here: know that apostolics all over the Memphis area (& beyond) love you and are praying without ceasing for you.
