It definitely is a shock. I would be inclined to defend him...if he hadn't already confessed.

I feel the same way.

MANY times. There is only two ministers in that section that I personally believe would be te right men for that job--Mickey Lewis and Bro (I totally forgot his first name) Roberson. But that is neither here nor there.
When we moved here we got a call from CH. They were talking church business (a church had closed and he wanted us to come back to help) and he told my husband that rumors were being spread that he was addicted to porn and the rumor was that he was seeking counseling over the situation. My husband confessed that he HAD heard the rumors but discounted them.
I dont' know if that is true or not but looking back--maybe he was afraid of what doors that would open.
(And yes...the Hulings do have internet.)

Interesting information - but a very sad thread. The question is, would this have happened if he had not seen the internet porn?
Maybe the Amish are right?
The fact is molestation exists where technology does not, but if things are readily seen that are a shame to speak about, it may very well push someone over the edge....
Maybe the UC's have a point when they say some should rethink not only TV but even the internet.

*sigh*
Well, it has been a few years since I was there. Why would he be re-elected presbyter if he had a problem with porn? (Assuming other ministers knew about it, that is)
Bro. Robertson's first name is Rex. He would make a very good presbyter. He pastors the church my Dad used to pastor. I think they're building a new church (or maybe they already have).
Mickey Lewis...where is he from originally? Is he related to the Lewis's from SouthEast MO? I don't think we've met him....

I guess I am so computer illiterate I would not have the foggiest idea on how to access porn over the internet? I have NEVER seen anything promoting it so a person evidently must search for it thus indicating a deep problem fed by what they were searching for?

Bro Lewis is from Mississippi originally but now pastors in Aurora. Bro Roberson is my brother's pastor. They are in the process of building. He has an amazing church.
I think CH was disputing that he DID have a problem and that it was just rumors. Like i said.. I don't know IF he did have that problem or not. I just chose not to believe it at the time. Im sure other ministers assumed he was innocent as well.

I've had a few inappropriate emails (but nothing for porn...usually "friend" search or drug advertisments)...and I've encountered surprising things in Google image searches...BUT...I NEVER have pop-ups. I'm of the educated opinion, that generally speaking, you get what you go looking for.

Not true... I've seen porn sites accidentally when I've misspelled a web sites address. My son saw one while searching for info on a kids TV show (he misspelled the name). Also, before "pop-up blockers," I've had porn ads pop up on my monitor.
