All churches that incorporate a verb into their name should be zoned out of existence. Accelerate. Celebrate. Elevate. Bloviate. Scintillate. Masturbate. All of them.
For far too long in this country the initial response to charges like this would have been to blame the accuser, and claim how dare anyone say such things about a man of God! Pedophiles and sex offenders got away with hiding behind their clerical collars and Bibles for far too long. I will be forever baffled by the people who delegate their thinking to others, particularly hate-filled preachers, but the herd instinct runs deep in our species. Church attendance drops every year, and now only 47% of American adults claim any kind of religious affiliation. While this is a positive trend, it isn't moving fast enough.
“Now I'm not hating on anybody, either, but I don't have to confirm your sinful lifestyle. The church does not exist to confirm sin.“
Most people don’t consider being told to change inherent parts of themselves to be very loving. Repent or leave isn’t very nice, not when it comes to who you are, and the little bit of what you’ve said here shows that you are, indeed, hating on folks.
Oh and, the church exists to create sin so it can take your life and money in order to make you not sin. It creates a disease so it can sell you the cure.
The type of people who threaten you with assassination if you so much as listen to someone who disagrees with them, and their friends who use the power of their church positions to commit crimes, will then moan about how secularism is destroying America.
My now-dead wasband got us involved in Amway back in the late 80s/early 90s. The husband of one of the other couples said he used a wooden spoon to discipline, AKA beat, his 2-year-old son "so he won't learn to fear my hand." Your hand holds the spoon, you asshole.
Who'll do the sniping/taking out, Jeremy? Certainly not you. Guys like you are cowards and want someone else to do your wet work for you while you cower under your desk and deny all culpability.
Should you be stupid enough to get personally involved, a word of warning: People shoot back. I can hear you screaming like Pastor Steven Anderscum now.
Oh, and he obviously doesn't consider LGBT+ people to be people. We're a "lifestyle."

"Pervs run away from me."
Far more likely 𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘴 of pervs run from him.
"I don't hang out with pervs"
Oh yes, hon, you do.
As soon as he said "pervs" I knew the charges against his buddy (son-in-law?) involved sex crimes and children.

"And one night… I had one of them in the car, I went to pick him up for church..."
It's amazing how many routes to church involve a back alley.
If I was a cop I would start to investigate him too. Birds of same grift and all that.

"It's unclear what Randolph is accused of doing with a child..."
Given the charges and the track record of the godly, is there really any doubt? Any at all?
I'd like to see what's in Pastor pFail's browser history.

I'm noticing a very distinct lack of drag queens in this story about sexual abuse. How weird. Almost like every accusation is really a confession.
It sounds like he aligns himself with pervs calling them good men, but those he calls pervs do run from him. Any decent person would.
