It's a problem with all races, however, COGIC knows they have a problem and are trying to address it.

Neither of these links have factual or documented research. One is Donnie McClurkin, basically, preaching (What kind of things would we dig up from our own ranks like this), and the other is a hit piece against a leader who supposedly is taking holiness out of COGIC. They said the same things about Kenneth Haney.

It would be immaterial to me because I also know of people of every race and creed who have been involved in similar things.

I don't have any problem discussing problems in the black community. I just don't see how this can be presented at all as a black preacher problem. It is unfortunately too big of a problem in too many places in too many people of all races.

Ironically, there was a former owner of this forum who said it was a problem in his district ... in a predominantly white organization ... that led to his leaving AFF and a change in ownership....

...and if you would have posted, during the Haggard problem", "I know a lot of white preachers with this problem but it's kept on the down-low", this forum would have exploded and the server would have crashed. You would have been vilified beyond recognition.

I'm still shaking my head. I can't believe what I've read. Shocking.

I doubt it. If it was a "movement" within the white churches trying to make the "down-low" acceptable within their organization, I'd feel the same way.

Sounds like a Doug Whitism based on innuendo ...

Haggard went after a male prostitute. Bishop Long goes after the youth in his own church. If Long did this, he may be in trouble. Does he own the church?

The righteous indignation would've frothed over ... with Miss Brat interjecting with common sense.
