Terry Jones Accused of 'Spiritual Abuse' at Cologne Church

[Swede]

US fundamentalist pastor Terry Jones, who wants to burn copies of the Koran on Sept. 11, ran a church in the western German city of Cologne until last year when members of the congregation expelled him. Former members have spoken of his hate-filled sermons and insistence on "blind obedience."

The world is holding its breath -- and it's all down to a tiny Christian fundamentalist church in Florida.

5. Spiritual Abuse is a Republicon Family Value?

Why are honorable people unsurprised to hear this?

Why are all the Faux Family Value Republicons so silent on this clear Spiritual Abuse?

Have they, at last, no decency?

6. Thom Hartmann was talking about this article today

As the article says, "Former church members are still undergoing therapy as a result of "spiritual abuse"

This man was a wannabe Jim Jones.

Thankfully, he was run out of town by people who gave their head a shake and realized they had been controlled by a madman.

7. Even the Germans have their limits when it comes to madmen

8. It appears that the article suggests that Jones moved back to the USA.

Was Jones born in the US, become a US citizen? Or is he here illegally?
