    Certainly drugging your nanny and touching her when she's semi conscious is "inappropriate."– but not in the way he's trying to make it sound.
  • This is honestly normal in many churches they just don't talk about it or they cover it up. You'll be surprised what actually goes down in your church 🤷🏾‍♀️
  • @xv_2046
    Why this guy is still a pastor is just beyond me.
  • @aliciafugate3607
    This is why I follow Jesus, not people. Pastors, priests and pope’s are all people.
  • @user-fc2tn1gf8x
    What happened to him as a child is no excuse!!! These poor "victims" should know it better then how it feels like to fall victim... the more these a*** should get punished because they did it deliberately
  • The rant and doublespeak of a predator. This is what Paul warned, "I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. Acts 20:28–30

    Anytime I see a “hipster” pastor that dresses like teenager trying to stand out. As hard as I try to listen to them I just cannot take them seriously.
  • @Rose-fk9ue
    Oh Lord. I was a nanny, it's called setting boundaries.
  • @tarasade3881
    If you found yourself in a better and happy place, then, why does she self back into the limelight? Seems to me that you were just trying to excuse your way back into being a spiritual leader again.
  • Jesus would never be an honored or welcomed guest in a Hillsong or MegaChurch for long. He is too judgemental and would speak to the leaders as "You brood of vipers " and white washed seplicers. We are in the last days and as hard and lonely as it is- we have to remember this place is not our home. Maranatha ❤ Peace

    ALL monies donated by individuals to Hillsong should be returned to them as much as possible, the rest to other non religious non profits for abused children and women.
