Did Broadmoor run him out of town because he wanted to forgive his old college roommate and not hold him accountable? Or did he flee before they found out he knew all about it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-88755220930491004782020-01-30T20:36:45.606-06:002020-01-30T20:36:45.606-06:00This asst. pastor claims he's 100 percent inno...This asst. pastor claims he's 100 percent innocent.

Nor are they saying this man should not be punished by the appropriate branch of government for stealing this money. They are not suggesting the department of revenue should not pursue the taxes this thief probably did not pay. They are simply saying as Christians one should not judge this person and should behave a in forgiving manner toward him.

Doesn't the church balance their bank statements monthly and account for what comes in and what goes out? I find this extremely difficult to swallow. There MUST be others involved that knew about what was happening but "were trying to protect" the pastor/thief. I hope the DA does a thorough investigation . The pastor definitely should be prosecuted of a theft of such magnitude ($332,000) as this over a two year period. It's not like he slipped up once or twice but FOURTEEN! Shame on him. He deserves his punishment, and yes, he can be forgiven for his sin.
