i know this is not related to our phony pastors, but i couldn't help wondering if it's some Southern thing? and i also wonder if his "credentials" came from the same website- sales-credentials-ordination-mill our pastors' did? for $32.00, you know, bubba's tire, bible study, bait and family counseling.
his ministerial credentials were suspended last week
LADSON, S.C. – A South Carolina pastor has been charged with
kidnapping and raping three women at gunpoint, including two who say they were assaulted in a trailer behind the church.
According to an incident report, about noon on a Saturday last month, Richardson picked up a woman and gave her a ride. When the 20-year-old tried to get out of the car, Richardson allegedly pulled a gun, bound her hands, covered her head and took her to the gray-blue trailer home behind the church.
The report said he later dropped the woman in a wooded area, threatening to shoot her if she turned around. Police said the woman was able to identify Richardson from his picture on the church website, which also displays a short biography detailing how he became a Christian and then a pastor.
So far, members of the Freedom Free Will Baptist Church have not condemned Dale Richardson, who had been the pastor there for about the past year.
After he was first arrested last month, Richardson said in court that he has a spotless record and would mount a strong defense.
Virginia Davis who has attended for about a year, says Richardson is a sweet person who has always taught God's word.
The Rev. Dean Mandrell, who has been preaching at some of the church's three weekly services, says that the congregation has drawn closer and that nobody is condemning Richardson.
Saying that Richardson posed a danger to society, Dorchester County Magistrate Arthur Bryngelson denied bond on the new charges. Richardson was returned to Charleston County jail, where he is being held on more than $1 million bail for the charges filed by North Charleston police.
