Wow, just what we needed, another scandal to add to the never-ending list of church-related controversies. And, of course, it involves a big-time megachurch pastor, Robert Morris, who just so happens to be a former spiritual adviser to President Donald Trump. Because, you know, that’s not a recipe for disaster or anything.
But, let’s get to the good stuff. Morris has been indicted in Oklahoma for five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, which allegedly took place in the 1980s. And, if that’s not enough, he’s also facing accusations of sexually assaulting a woman, Cindy Clemishire, when she was a child. I mean, who needs a backrgound check when you’ve got a charming smile and a flashy suit, right?
And, as if this story couldn’t get any more interesting, Morris was also involved in the whole “Bathroom Bill” debacle, because apparently, he thought it was a great idea to use the argument that transgender people are a threat to children to further his own political agenda. But, hey, at least he’s consistent, right? I mean, who needs fact-checking when you’ve got a good story to tell?
Now, I know what you’re thinking: how did this guy get away with it for so long? Well, that’s a great question, and one that I’m sure will be answered in the coming weeks and months as more information comes to light. But, for now, let’s just say that it’s a good thing that Clemishire came forward with her accusations, and that the authorities are finally taking action.
But, of course, this story isn’t just about Morris and his alleged misdeeds. It’s also about the larger issue of church-related scandals and the need for greater accountability and transparency within these institutions. I mean, it’s not like we haven’t seen this story play out before, but maybe, just maybe, this time will be different.
And, on a completely unrelated note, has anyone seen that new book on church leadership that just came out? I heard it’s a real page-turner. But, I digress.
As I was saying, this story is a big deal, and one that deserves our attention. So, let’s all take a deep breath and try to wrap our heads around it. And, who knows, maybe we’ll even learn something new along the way. But, until then, let’s just say that it’s a wild ride and buckle up, folks.
But, seriously, the fact that Morris was able to use his influence and power to further his own political agenda is a serious problem. And, one that needs to be addressed. I mean, it’s not like we can just sweep it under the rug and hope it goes away. Because, let’s be real, it won’t.
So, what’s next? Well, that’s a great question. But, for now, let’s just say that we’ll be keeping a close eye on this story and reporting back with any new developments. And, who knows, maybe we’ll even get some answers to our questions. But, until then, let’s just say that it’s a waiting game.
And, finally, I just want to say that justice needs to be served. And, I’m not just talking about Morris. I’m talking about all the victims of church-related scandals. They deserve justice, and they deserve it now. So, let’s all stand together and demand that our leaders take action. Because, let’s be real, it’s the least we can do.
