      @@zAlaska Well, Someone who worked previously in the Gateway Church as one of the Pastors was just interviewed by a News Station. Even himself had NEVER heard of your version of this story. Apparently ONLY yourself has this version. Besides it practically impossible for her to have spoken to the entire HUGE congregation. Impossible. Don't forget Dr Robert Morris himself is the President, Founder, General overseer and Presiding Most senior Pastor of that Church Congregation. In order Word you don't get up and speak without his Authorization. There is no way this version of your story can be Factual --unless the woman herself is a current member of his congregation and has testified to CONFIRM she was indeed a YOUNG LADY at the time of the event( 35-40 years ago) NOT a young girl.

      Agree that the pastor should be held accountable, but don't judge another man just because he is related. He didn't do the crime. God said that vengeance is His so let God be the judge so that we don't also commit a sin as well. The same God also said that he sees no one sin greater than another. Meaning Pastor Morris's sin of abuse would not be seen as worse than our judgment of him or the son of Pastor Morris. Let's allow God to be the son's judge.

    The FALSE Church puts false Christians at the very top so the fakeness can trickle down! When any true believer arrives, they quickly make them hate the church and leave.
