Pastor Juan Demetrius McFarland, of the ‘Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church’ in Montgomery, in Alabama, has confessed that he slept with several members of his congregation without telling them that he had AIDS.
McFarland confessed to congregants in a series of sermons in the course of weeks, that he’d been HIV positive since 2003 and has had AIDS since 2008.
He also admitted to mismanaging church funds, using drugs and, finally, that he’d slept with several female congregants without revealing that he has AIDS.
A church member spoke to WBTV and said, “I know a young lady who is a member of the church who says she has slept with him and that she didn’t want this to go public, and she running out now trying to find out if there is anything wrong with her. And my heart goes out to her because she’s been a wonderful church member, and then for something like this to happen. The fact that he didn’t tell them at all. That’s a crime in itself.”
The church deacon, Nathan Williams Jr., said about the McFarland’s confession. “He confessed to the entire membership and then to the City of Montgomery, because as soon as he got done confessing, it went all over Montgomery anyway. So it’s nothing we [are] making up. It’s coming out of his mouth.”
According to WBTV, McFarland was fired from the church on 5 October, and could possibly face misdemeanour charges of knowingly transmitting a sexually transmitted disease.
WHY are you suprised Jesus told the disciples on mount olive these things were going to happen.PAUL ALSO TOLD OF THIS IN THE END TIMES IN 1 TIMOTHY PERLIOUS TIMES WOULD COME MEN WOULD BE LOVERS OF SELF.HE ALSO SAID THEY WOULD HAVE A FORM OF GODLESSNESS BUT THEIR HEART WOULD BE FAR FROM HIM .WE ALL HAVE SIN AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD I PRAY THAT THIS MAN AND THE WOMAN OF THIS CHURCH FIND JESUS IT IS NOT UP TO US TO JUDGE ONE DAY HE WILL LIKE ALL OF US HAVE TO STAND AT THE GREAT WHITE THRONE OF JUDGEMENT WHERE GOD WILL BE THE JUDGE AND JURY. LETS PRAY FOR THEM
this world is wicked imagin pastor, God will never forgive him. And those that selpt with their pastor i pity for you people.
Don’t be surprised my friend, if his confession was genuine and out of a contrite heart, he will find forgiveness and peace with God! The members who agreed to sleep with him are not any different than him the HIV/AIDS not withstanding! They all committed sin against God, their spouses and their own bodies! The wages of sin is Death, and this can come in many forms including HIV/AIDS. They all need to come out clean too by confessing to Gods people rather than crucifying the Pastor alone!
GOD FORGIVES DO YOU READ YOUR BIBLE? HE IS A MERCIFUL GOD AND HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER.
