Κείμενο του αιτήματος (Petition)

Do you believe that a man who has been accused not by one person but several people of rape and sexual assault should be behind a pulpit preaching the word of God? This man used God to get some of his victims by getting to know them and saying they can trust him and then encourage them to talk about their sexual lives, not only that, but when as far as grooming, a young lady and trying to get her to move in with him saying that she needs to ask his wife (at the time) if she can move in. He had an ongoing case that has been going on for over a year that nobody knew about that still doesn’t have a trial date for an elderly woman for forcing himself orally into her. Another claim was from an elderly woman in the family that had lived at his residence whom was not in good shape, saying that he got a massager and started massaging up her leg and to her private as he was pulling his out saying “does it feel good” as she was screaming at him to stop. The other claim is from another family member, this man was at her house helping her fix her sink and then got behind her and pushed himself into her. There were also several women at the church that said they felt very uncomfortable being around him. With all that being said, should he be able to stand behind a pulpit and preach before the trial date? He has denied all of these accusations and is a smooth talker and has many believing he did nothing. If you believe that he should not be preaching at this time, please sign this petition. May God bless you all.

This claim is important for several reasons but mainly to warn the public about people like this. If you agree sign this petition to either close the church or find a new pastor.
