As I sit here and Listen to the gun fire from troops test firiring their weapons to go on patroll I can only think back at the LBH that exsisted on Biju street a close church family friendly people and good sound teaching. But when the church moved into the new building something changed suits where the unspoken rule for the men clicks where forming and people where shunned it was sad many times I went to services and said hi to some one and they turned there backs on me as if not to here a greeting of a day preached from the pulpit was in order to have friends you have to be friendly they talked the talk but would never bend to except people that had a past or did not fit thier group but Jon at the right hand of the Pastor having sex in this new church with child of a member of the church where were her parents where was the pastor who did what to who and when realy who cares point the fingers where ever you want but it was the attitude of the leadership that allowed this to happen

Anon ~ I completely agree with you. Both were at fault and both parties KNEW what they were doing.

unless you were there and you saw the way people acted, keep your opinion to yourself. you have no place to talk trash about someone you don't know. and ESPECIALLY when you don't know anything about the girl who RIPPED THAT FAMILY APART. she KNEW what she was doing just as well as he did. BOTH PARTIES ARE AT FAULT.

I was defending Chelsea and did not mean to begin anything with what I said. I know for a fact that former members are spoken of in a not so nice way from the pulpit, it happened while I was a member. I left because things were not being done in a Biblical manner. I was not asked to leave. You want us to leave our name, but yet you don't leave yours, now that is funny!

Believe it or not, we CURRENT members have lives and better things to talk about and worry about then where you are currently. We are busy with our own families. Not everyone at our church is as bad as former members like to make us out to be. Here is what cracks me up, some of you former members come on here talking all your talk about our church, about members, about Jon, etc...BUT you won't put your names. WHY? Is it because you have done something wrong? Maybe you HAVE been asked to leave our church? Why did you stay at our church for so long?

No problem Chelsea. Just get on with your lives and ignore comments like that. Please understand that not all former members are as bad as we are talked about.

I don't know all of the answers, but I do know Jon Moore and I feel he meant what he said when he said he wanted to prove things to his community and his family. Chels, tell your Dad to call me. He has my number. I wish the best for both families! I do know this, God is still on the throne and He is still in control! I agree with "former member" that the judge did what he thought was right based on the testimonies heard and time already served. All of us are one decision away from "stupid". Thank God that He is the God of second chances. God has a plan for all of us or we wouldn't be here. Everyone needs to remember that Jon has a family too that is hurting and we need to remember that whatever we put in writng here hurts his family even more. They've been through enough. All I can say is "let the healing begin"!

It is sad how we condemn other human beings so fast! Jon was wrong, I agree, but the judge sentenced him to what he felt was the punishment needed. Some feel it was not long enough, so keep those views to yourself. All you are doing with your name calling is hurting another child, his daughter, even more than she was hurt when she found out about all of this. I am not defending what Jon did. I am defending his daughter. She will have to live with the finger pointing, etc, but should not have to see comments such as those written below. She and the rest of the family have suffered enough for what Jon did. Let them get on with their lives and keep your name calling comments to yourselves.

ok so you want to call my dad a Demon huh? well wow it is judging.and i was best friends with this girl and i know how she was and if you think it was rape you are crazy she was not at all the sweet little girl everyone seems to think she was.i just think it is funny how everyone thinks that.how are you all so blind to this?when i was 15 or 16 i knew what i was doing and when u go after a guy for so long and he is weak after saying no for so long and gives into her that makes him a demon?wow your funny.

Any person that sexually abuses a minor needs to spend their time in prison where they can spread their love, daily. For those that say he will get better with the help of his friends and supporters, where were you when he was committing this evil act. You seem to think it was no big deal. Even scarier when you attempt to minimize his crime by blaming the victim. There is only one victim here and it isn't Jon Moore. How many of you that defend him would be doing so if he did not attend your congregation? This is not the first time this church has had a dark cloud hanging within it. Good men do not wear the title of "Registered Sex Offender". Read the statistics on sex offenders and the likelyhood of reoffending. Doyle, I feel for you. Good luck with the restoration. When the healing is complete and successful make sure you give your program to the El Paso county courts so they can implement it into all of the court appointed sex offender programs. Help is finally on the way!

To those of you that defend a demon that rapes is sad. It is not judging to find fault with a so called man especially if he is passing himself off as a loyal abiding member of a church. If there was another demon in another church and the victim was your daughter would you be so quick to excuse this sick behavior.Probably not. To bad all sex offenders do not spend time in prison. If they did more of them might realize the extent of the damage they cause by their demented sick actions.
