Three more hypocrites

I'm expanding my coverage to include Christians who claim to be good god fearing men and women, and then go home a molest their children or steal from their fellow Christians. So... here are three more hypocrites to add to the ever growing list.

Operator of Christian non-profit indicted in fraud

Edward Purvis, the man who promised churchgoing investors in Arizona and 12 other states he could make them wealthy while funding Christian causes, was indicted Friday on 43 counts of fraud and theft.

Authorities accuse the 40-year-old Chandler man of operating a multimillion Ponzi-scheme through Nakami Chi Group Ministries International.

Antioch couple accused of sexual abuse on children

Prosecutors filed more than 20 sexual abuse counts against an Antioch couple Thursday, accusing them of committing crimes during the past 25 years.

Zion and Glenda Dutro were arrested Tuesday at their home in the 1900 block of Alpha Way after an eight-month investigation, police said.

The investigation began when six female alleged victims — all of them family members who lived with the suspects — came forward after learning that the Dutros were thinking about adopting children from Mexico, police said

But they were such good Christians! They went to church and everything! Why do people thing that going to church makes people good? These people were so good that their pastor refused to comment.

Pastor Accused Of Soliciting Prostitute

Prosecutors have charged Pastor Randall Townsend of Dayton's Bible Baptist Church with loitering to solicit prostitution and soliciting.

According to police, detectives stopped Townsend after watching him pick up Michelle Sanger, 32, on Steele Avenue last week, and observing suspicious activity in the car.
