Tanner said:Stevens Dad Larry was arrested today on a seperate child sex assault charge. He is in Mesquite Jail on $100,000 bond.
Tanner said:its terrible, and there is more to come out. This all happened on Ross' watch, there were plenty of warning signs and members sounding the horn. When it was ignored it was taken to police.
Just me said:Tanner is right on the money.

Take a bulldozer to the whole place. Sell the land to build a gas station.
Tanner said:Having said that you keep implying (and refusing to corroborate) that he knew about this and did nothing. Do you have any proof, or are you just determined to smear Bob Ross regardless?
Ok as far as proof no I don't have proof. Here is what happened, this 15 year old girl came to the church without her parents. Her dad has passed away. She started becoming close to Steven and his family. She started posting on social media about how much she loved him and his family, he was her new Dad. She would spend the night at thier house and baby sit the kids. She was always posting selfies with Steven. He worked for the City of Mesquite and occasionally would come up to the school, sign her out, and take her out to eat for lunch.
People started to say this does not look right, it was right out in the open, and the youth pastor and Bob Ross assured all concerned that she needed that father figure in her life. He was a bus captain, deacon, and major family in the church.
This should have been stopped by the leadership of the church but they buried their heads in the sand and members had enough and notified police. Steven confessed to police and is still sitting in jail. That is all the proof I have, ask anyone near that church and they will tell you how obvious it was.

Why?
What about the good, decent people who have worshipped there? I hope they kick out corrupt leadership and get people in who will love the Lord and seek to glorify Him.

These people are not really good at choosing a pastor. Now that Open Door and Miller Road have merged they have in their past history these famous men. Dave Hyles and Matthew Jerrell who should never have been pastors as they each lived a double life.
Saved by Grace said:I dont see the end of a church being a good thing. I dont condone the wickedness and i hope its dealt with properly. But there are still lost souls on their way to hell and a church may be the only light in that area they will see.
I hope they reform and get smart about this and get back up, shake the dust off their feet and win many to Christ.
Tanner said:I am not celebrating or wanting to taunt Bob Ross. I have seen him smear and hurt lots of people. I am just glad that the truth has come out. The things that have been covered up in that church and the intimidation, the smearing of good people and the relationships he has hurt. While at the same time covering for people that are bringing harm to children, the church, and the cause of Christ.
All churches have sinners, its like a hospital has sickness. The people working in the hospital protect themselves from the illnesses and keep the place sterile. Open door is infected, it has allowed sin to infiltrate, the devil, was let in a long time ago. It needs to be scrubbed from top to bottom and leadership replaced.
I know its up to God and it appears he has started that process.
As for Parkside they are dealing with their own sexual assault of a child, one of the members was arrested in the past couple of weeks.
