HIV positive pastor infects his flock and others

I keep telling everyone that I do not make this stuff up. Crazy stories of pastors committing the most horrible acts are routine here at Deep Thoughts. Another outlandish story hit the news today. Pastor Greg Lamar Davis of Full Gospel Baptist Church in Atlanta, was arrested for reckless conduct. It seems Davis, who is HIV positive, has allegedly engaged in unprotected sex with men and women. Some of his partners were church members, some were not.
Ronita McAfee said she met Davis on Facebook and began having an affair with the married pastor. She claimed Davis never notified her that he was HIV positive. 
"Mr. Davis shows no regard for the human life as it relates to his HIV positive status and having sexual contact with men and/or women," McAfee wrote in an email to the website. "This email is only for informational purposes and to let the people of the church know because it is alleged that Mr. Davis has been sexually rampant in the church."

"...McAfee alleges she heard of his [HIV] status from another woman who was in a leadership position with the church and had a relationship with Davis. After the woman came forward, McAfee claims, the unnamed woman was removed from her post..."

Memoir Details Sexual Assault by Defrocked Clergy Member

(CHICAGO) – In a newly released memoir, Betrayed By The State: A Ward of the State Speaks Out, Illinois-based author John Bernadyn describes his struggle growing up as a youth ward of the state. “My goal is to get the word out that youth are experiencing struggles that even grown-ups are unable to cope with,” Bernadyn said.
After detailing, often graphically, a troubled childhood experience with a dysfunctional home, Bernadyn spends time discussing his experience being sexually assaulted in a state facility. He alleges that the perpetrator was John Woulfe, a former religious brother as part of the Marianists.
Bernadyn doesn’t stop there, though. In Chapter 8 of his book, what can only be described as heart-wrenching and graphically depicted, he lays a visual and emotional scene for the reader as to his experiences.

After being removed from the Marianist order because of allegations of sexual assaults by numerous young men at a school overseen by Woulfe he relocated to the small town of Onarga, Illinois. As the Catholic Church historically did not publicize or pursue justice for victims of clergymen, Woulfe was never formally charged with a crime. He was able to secure employment working with troubled teenagers after passing the state-required criminal background check. This is where Bernadyn would come in to contact with the man he would later refer to as a ‘monster’.
Although Bernadyn left the facility prior to Woulfe’s departure, he would later learn that Woulfe was given the opportunity to be a school counselor in the Kankakee, Illinois area where he would once again victimize another youth. It would be no small consolation to learn of Woulfe’s failing health and residence in a nursing home.
Woulfe had already died and Bernadyn felt robbed of the chance to say, “I forgive you but I will never forget.”
