  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Gary Thomas Keesee Jr. pleaded not guilty to 27 criminal charges, including 11 counts of rape, in a Knox County courtroom on Wednesday.

Keesee faces 11 counts of rape, 11 counts of gross sexual imposition and five counts of sexual conduct with a minor. According to the indictment, the alleged crimes happened between May 2002 and October 2011 and involved three victims, who were all girls between the ages of 6 and 15 at the time.

Licking County prosecutors took over the case from Knox County after Attorney General Dave Yost decided not to pursue it. Yost said he had conflict of interest because of his friendship with [perp's parents] Gary and Drenda Keesee, who are the founders of Faith Life Church.

[Perp] Keesee held different roles at the church over the time the abuse allegedly took place.

Also, “Licking County”? Lol I can only imagine how obscene the names of their sports teams are.

And we wonder why people are leaving Christianity? In the 1990 census over 90% of Americans self identified as Christian. In 2020 it was about 67%.

I wouldn’t leave Jesus because of Judas. There has been hypocrites and predators for thousands of years.
