Vacation Bible School hook ups

What kind of training does one need to be a 22-year-old youth pastor? What ever it is, it is no where near enough. Pastor Damon J. Noel went fishing off the company pier so to speak. He allegedly snagged his minor victim at vacation bible school.

According to Officer Jon Bohanan, police confronted the suspect near Boyton Park, where he reportedly had arranged to meet the victim, at about 2:15 p.m. Friday. They arrested Damon J. Noel, 22, on charges of third-degree rape, contributing to the sexual delinquency of a minor, third-degree sex abuse, endangering the welfare of a minor and sexual misconduct.

Nice. Ok… cross vacation bible school off the list.

Christians had this to say…

Mike

He fell off the path of righteousness. As we all know is thin.
Don't judge him, save that for God. Pray for him that he will look to God for guidance instead of falling to the enemy.
"MOM" that is a broad brush stroke you make. Children are safe in their churches. It is not right to think that now all youth pastors in all the churches will do such things. Pray for him.

16 Year Old Youth of  That Church

There is a paucity of details here, the age of the victim should have been revealed, it may have thrown a little light on just how "perverted" this crime is. I always wonder if there is an agenda behind these one sided reports.
No I don't condone Noels acts.

I agree, paucity of details. Without a link I don't even know what you're talking about. >:-(

The original article doesn't give the girl's age, but he is after all charged with various crimes based on her being a minor. So she's not 18, and depending on the age of consent she may not be 16 . . . . And we're supposed to give this guy credit if she was, say, 14 instead of 8?

I'll bet you that you don't find any of this on Christian radio or TV. If it can be found there it would surprise me. Until they begin admitting that they are being run over by perverts in their mists, nothing will ever get better.
