The mother of the deceased wife of Pastor Mark Lewis shared stories of her daughters spousal abuse with Soroptimists International of Vacaville this week. Patricia Hunter last saw her daughter about a month before her death. Her daughter's death was ruled a suicide. I don't believe it was suicide. I believe the case should be reopened. I believe that the authorities should look at Pastor Mark Lewis. So do a lot of other people. 20/20 was on hand to film the event.
According to Hunter, one out of every four women will be victims of domestic violence in their lifetime. Mark Lewis, was convicted of felony spousal abuse 15 years ago, Solano County Superior Court Judge Peter B. Foor confirmed during a Feb 18 hearing. Lewis ultimately plead to and served probation for the abuse charge, his attorney noted. Hunter doesn't believe the conviction was the only time her daughter endured abuse, though.
"I don't know how many visits to the hospital my daughter made," she said emotionally. "I know of three. I don't know how many she kept from me."

I recommend reading the whole article. It’s fascinating. I learned that Lewis had a prior conviction for felony spousal abuse. I wonder if his congregation knew this and continued to support him?
Pastor Mark Lewis is setting in jail on charges the he conspired to firebomb his ex-girlfriends house and that he lied about source of funds used to secure his bail.

I found this statement posted in a forum about Mark Lewis.

" Their first priority became what ever Mark told them it was going to be. This caused them to put God's Word aside and follow the false words of Mark Lewis.They no longer had wisdom or discernment or love for God or his people. As he fell deeper and deeper into sin they were blind to it. Those who are left have their own "agenda"; to cover their own sins. Some are afraid of being revealed by him so keep quiet . Others are now hardened and blind . Covering your Pastors sin is not in the bible."
Just the other day, I heard a famous preacher announce on Twitter, "If you criticize me, you criticize "My" God.
JT of Pimppreacher.com said the Pastors have elevated themselves to Rock Star status. What I have discovered is the Pastors have elevated themselves beyond an earthly status.
I don't think the religious say there is a separate God for each person. Correct? So what Pastor _____ meant to say was, "You criticize me, You criticize God." These pastors have elevated themselves to God. Even the good pastors are delusional. Imagine the power a corrupt Pastor enforces over the lives of his congregation. I agree with JT of PimpPreacher.com.
Tear these Churches Down!

These guys have more religion in their big toe than the entire Religion Industrial Complex.
"If every one of us has to die to keep you safe, that is what we will do because we are in a war. One out of every three girls and 1 out of every 5 boys are sexually abused. We have an epidemic. We will do whatever it takes to protect the children."
