  • 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.

President and co-founder of the Texas-based Daystar Television Network, Joni Lamb, has accused her son, Jonathan Lamb, of attempted blackmail and running a smear campaign in a power struggle for leadership after he alleged she covered up the sexual abuse of his daughter by a family member in the wake of his recent firing.

“I want to assure you that all the allegations that are circulating against myself, my late husband, and other members of my family are completely false and we have already begun to take legal steps to defend ourselves and will address the accusations in a God-honoring way,” Joni Lamb said in a statement Monday about the dispute at the network, which claims to reach 6.85 billion people worldwide and is in 2.3 billion homes.

Jonathan Lamb and his wife, Suzy, alleged in a recent interview with The Roys Reportthat a family member, only identified as “Pete,” is suspected of sexually abusing their daughter. Pete has denied abusing the child.

Reporter Julie Roys has several articles on this as well.

Julie Roys has really done some very thorough reporting on this situation.
Apparently, Jonathan and Suzey chose to reveal their story (with taped recordings) to her.

I appreciate the link to her site.
Very unfortunate story being revealed ... just seems to be getting worse by the day, as more and more is revealed.

By this time, the majority of people know who "Pete" is. It's really a sad and disgusting story to follow. The Unction on youtube has a good take on it, IMO.

I've been following The Unction channel, too, since this story broke! :oldthumbsup:
Given Pastor Curry's background, I very much appreciate hearing his perspective on things.

It's not Joni's new husband.

According to Jonathan and Suzie Lamb (the child's parents), "Pete" is the anonymous name being used when referring to the husband of Joni's daughter, Rachel Lamb. ("Pete" is the child's uncle.)
