I had a good tip on an odd clergy based crime story from Sacramento which happened a few days ago. Pastor David Goudie calls himself a soldier of the Lord, I guess that's why he allegedly stabbed his roommate in the nuts with a sword.
Goudie, 51, is accused of breaking the law, as well as one of God’s commandments, which is love thy neighbor.
“I saw an object just coming towards me, and it was a sword,” said Mock.
Mock says Goudie, whom he shared a home with for four months, viciously attacked him with a 4-foot sword Tuesday.
“The sword went through my hand and through my groin — through my privates,” said Mock.

Oh man… a sword in the nuts. Most men will instinctively grab their junk when threatened by this type of attack, which explains why the victim said he was wounded in the hand.
My question is not why pastor David Goudie allegedly stabbed his roommate, but instead, why would a pastor have a sword, or a gun, or any weapon for that matter? If a pastor is a follower of Christ, then one would think that they would eschew violence and try to emulate the peaceful deity they worship. A pastor with a gun is an oxymoron. A pastor with a sword, well, that's just crazy. What would Jesus do? I'm pretty sure he did not use a sword in the bible, so I'm guess he would not attack his roommate with it.
Charges were subsequently dropped.

My name is David, not Dave. I'm the roommate. I was looking in on the status of the story after over 3-1/2 years and saw your 'deep thought'.
Let's just say that I've had a lot of deep thoughts about December 3rd / December 4th since that 24 hour period in 2012.
My first deep thought isn't about the paranoid, meth-whacked, (online) "pastor", Dave Goudie, but about the Sacramento Police.
My first call to 911 December 3rd was around 7 PM. I was with my other roommate, "Chumly" (there were 3 of us in the 3 bedroom house), Chumly & I had locked ourselves into my bedroom after Dave's repeated statements of, "I'm going to kill you!"
David Goudie had been up all night for over 2 weeks now. He was desperate...facing eviction, unemployed, and no money. His last asset, a Honda Accord, was sold for $600 or $800 weeks prior. I gave 30 days notice to leave the house on November 27th. In hindsight, I should have left immediately, but he owed me money. I only stayed because instead of $400 for the month of December, I only had to pay $160.
There is so much to tell, and it's tough for me to blog, so I'll check in later to pick up where I left off.
Before I leave....Yes, a man's instinct is to protect the 'package' and yes,,,that is why my hand was sliced up (you should see the pics). And no, he didn't "hit" the testicles. The details are gory, but a small scratch of the skin of the sack is all that was necessary for them to flush out the entire sac, for fear of infection.
