And, you explained yourself, I have no more issue with what you said.

Now, please feel free to post the poem!

And, you should have a field to the right of the text box when you reply where the smilies live........

J-Roc said post it, too. So, here it is. Not saying I agree with all of it. I've read some funny stuff while I was lurking here. This is not particularly funny. Some truth in it, though. This was sent to me and I did cut and paste, which I recently learned. Anyone give computer lessons? (spoken in jest)

THE GOOD OLE BOYS NETWORK

It’s not the organization – it’s only just a part.

But it can make or break you, if you’re not in it from the start.

Liars, Thieves, Deceivers – they’re members one and all.

It’s the Good Ole Boys Network – Do they really have The Call?


Truth is what they make it and they can make a lie seem like truth,

It doesn’t matter if they’re right or wrong, the G-O-B-N makes them tamperproof.

They know they have the power and power corrupts.

It’s the Good Ole Boys Network – Are they really up to snuff?


Now they’ll carry the Word of God under their arm,

They want to make you believe that they’ll do you no harm,

In the city or the country, on the road or on the farm,

It’s the Good Ole Boys Network – Should we sound the alarm?


Jesus is a coming. He’s coming very soon.

For some there’ll be rejoicing. For others there’ll be gloom.

We’ll all be a looking and the Good Ole Boys will, too.

It’s the Good Ole Boys Network – Will they finally meet their doom?

Sin is always horrible. May the Lord give grace to those who are hurt.

It certainly is a sad situation and I feel for his poor wife, kids and church.

I had heard rumors of this a few months ago but refused to believe it until something more solid came forth.....

For anyone that knew him--it is quite a shock

Thank you for the corrections. I had heard he "was" presbyter - I assumed that meant he withdrew when the charges came out.

BTW To your earlier question - no I do not live in that community, and the information I have is second hand. I am resisting commenting much beyond what was clear in the news reports.

Indeed.

You just opened up a topic many do not want to address.

Internet usage? It needs to be addressed. But it may or may not have anything to do with this case or this thread.

The fact it took almost 20 pages before it was suggested ought to raise a few eyebrows from the politcally astute.

I really don't see how, tv1. It wasn't mentioned in the article, so what does it have to do with this case? Personally, I doubt the Hulings even have the internet. They are very outdoorsy people, when I was there last, they didn't even have a computer. (Granted a few years ago, but not that long.)

I agree the internet is a problem with many people, and the fact that it has more negative potential than TV does need to be addressed, but it has little or nothing to do with this thread or case at this point, unless new information is revealed at some point.

Just because internet is a problem doesn't mean it is the source for every moral failure. There were children being molested, adultery being committed and other crimes being imagined and carried out long before internet was a major player.

Don't believe the hype...

I'm only saying that from my experiences at their home. ...of course, I would've never suspected CH of being capable of molesting a child either.
