Women in pants and the mohawk pierced person would be welcome while they were being evangelized (and assumed unsaved). If they would not conform to the dress norms that welcome would cease.
How many more people does Kimmel have to swindle in the church for this lame pastor to make a move to protect them?
Fortunately, the justice system has again accomplished what this church refuses to, and the victims will now be spared from having to see the man who stole their life savings sitting in the next pew.
If it wasn't for the justice system, Schaap would probably still be at FBCH.

just a few hours ago. Much to say, not sure it's worth it at this point. Although Thom's audacity through this predictably matched that of his friend JS during his "ordeal". Bird's of a feather, I suppose :

Not to encourage the nuts here, but Kimmel took more money from FBC's members than any other church. Surely there has to be something in the new FBC constitution to exclude him.
How hard would have been for someone like Eddie tell Kimmel it would be better for him to attend another church? Didn't he tell Schaap's victim family a similar thing?
I am sure there is got to be something in the Bible about taking from the poor. :
Yes, Schaap's victim was chased out by Lapina. Thank you for pointing this out.
Lapina tried to get Schaap to accept a sabbatical.

The choice to stay or go should have been one arrived at by mutual consent. For the life of me I can't imagine the family wanting to stay in the place where the criminal acts were allowed to be conducted and concealed, but that should have been their choice, not some dictatorial edict handed down by EL. And now to add insult to injury, Thom is, sorry was, free to roam among those he has injured without being subject to the same treatment. I frankly don't get it.
For as much touting as has been done about being "Independent Fundamental Baptists", it's strange that they don't adhere to the practice of either "the priesthood of the believer" or "individual soul liberty".
I, for one, am truly sorry to hear this. I knew it was coming. I believe he deserves it. I knew it was a scam when he was pushing people toward this. But, He will probably die in jail. He is 68 and in poor health. He has a wife in poor health and two kids with grandchildren.
Be Sure Your sin will find you out is the most up to date and real scripture that I can think of right now.

Oh please, Tom. You are the guy who won't even let church kids play with your kids if they do not go to Sunday night church.
Kind of proves my point. If you do not meet their standards you are certainly not welcome.
Grab a clue, Tom.

Not to be snarky here...but isn't Schaap on a sabbatical...a twelve-year sabbatical in an 8 x 8 room with a view.

I had a few relatives get caught up in that. I remember my sister-in-law trying to talk us into investing. One of her selling points was, "This guy from FBCH even says it is a great investment".
Prosecutors noted that Kimmel previously worked with Scott Hollenbeck, a former Forsyth County resident who was convicted of fraud in 2008, suggesting that the Sure Line case "is not the first time he was involved with a fraud – only the first time he was caught."

"Just a guy in the pews"???!
I wonder if that is what the Apostle Paul would call that guy who "had his father's wife" in Corinth...
It is unbelievable the low view of the church that results from not having any policy re: accountability/church discipline.

You do not know what you are talking about in relation to FBCH, and you most definitely do not know what you are talking about in relation to my family. You are not only ignorant, apparently you are purposely so, with no genuine desire to apprehend the facts of either their situation or my own. But it's all good b/c you've found grace.
May God grant that you may find some intellectual integrity to go along with that grace someday...

Tom, you know full well that they would be allowed to occupy a pew, but not serve in any capacity.Tom Brennan said:
Just admit it.
Don't swing back, because this is true.
I recruited a man, with a goatee, to help with the growing youth group we had at 68th and Green.
The man, not me, was told by FBCH brass that he had to shave or pew sit.
So quit pretending that this isn't true, it is.
You are normally honest.
I will say it for us...
FBCH has a dress/hair code for all volunteers, staff, ministry workers, etc.
And, yes, the guy with the Mohawk would be told, when he got excited about serving and asked if he could help, that his help wouldn't be needed, or else try getting a hair cut and we will watch you for a while.
It is simple, it is what we practice, why not just agree.
We don't like ABG's attitude, so we what?
Pretend it isn't true?
Well, I'll tell you Tom, you have never been the guy with the Mohawk there, but I have, and you see it as rejection of you.
I grew up thinking that God had no purpose for my life, because I was rejected by the fashion police.
Prophet the point in question was if they'd be welcome. And they would. The question was not about volunteering or helping. Could they be on staff? I don't see that happening. Again though, that wasn't the question.

I am just glad that GOD saved me ....I am glad that Jesus was/is a Jew....because if he were a Baptist,spoke and acted as the selfrightious bunch that have been posting about Thom Kimmel ....I would still be lost.....I thought He said "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them who trespass against us"........If you folks who want blood because of Thom's trespasses are what a Christian is to be then please God remove from me my salvation ....Lost people have more compassion.
You are not Christ like thus not Christian. Your dependence is not on the blood of Christ but on the Blood money that you have prostutited yourselves to accumulate.
I would to God that I had a bag of 30 pieces of silver for each of you.
