I think it’s safe to say that Steven Lee Wintersteen is a former pastor, but in my book once a pastor, always a pastor. Back in the day (a few years ago), Pastor Wintersteen was the pastor at The Shaver Lake Church of Christ in Modesto. He left his job, wife and family to hook up with a women in the Philippines that he met online. Now he’s been arrested by the FBI for trying to have sex with an 8-year-old girl.
Told that the woman had an 8-year-old daughter, Wintersteen allegedly sought to arrange a meeting for sex.
At one point, Wintersteen told the woman he had a friend in China who was interested in young girls and "extream” pain and suggested that the woman and her daughter travel to China with him so the girl could meet "six men there,” according to the affidavit.
He sounds like a peach. I know of Wintersteen from his connection to pedophile pastor Markus McDowell. Apparently McDowell would visit Wintersteen’s church each year with children from his youth group. I thought it odd that Wintersteen would be connected to McDowell. I guess they run in packs.

You stated that" in my book once a pastor always a pastor".
Well, I was once an athest and now I'm a Christian. Do you think people don't ever change? I've seen people, from all walks of life, change their thinking radically and therefore thier behavior. People can and do change. To think otherwise, is pretty nieve.

As far as not believing the media, it was Steve Wintersteen's own words, that he had sex with his daughter when 13. I don't think the "media" made that up. Sorry.
