Lourdes Torres-Manteufel Rule 5: Or why Doug Phillips deserves it good and hard…

TOM notes the alleged and twisted tale of Lourdes Torres-Manteufel and Pastor Doug Phillips. Whether all these allegations are true or not (or greatly exaggerated to facilitate a civil law suit), I do not know, but Doug Phillips admits he engaged in an “inappropriate relationship” so some of it is undoubtedly true. I am not commenting if it is something warranting civil liability (if it started when she was 23 and was consensual, it may not warrant civil liability–but it certainly creates a problem for a Christian minister and married man to deal with).

Hey, all of us are sinners. We all have failings. But there are some jobs involving public trust (such as religious and political leaders) where if you stray you should probably take an extended time out (at a minimum). Yeah Doug, I would be directing that comment at you.

And never let a Rule 5 opportunity pass by.

Old School?





Fortunately for you Doug, there is John 8:1-11 for you to reflect upon…
For the rest of us: Matthew 7:15
