Jack Schaap Blames Decreased Giving at Church for His Molestation of 16-Year Old Church Member

If that is true,  90% of Americans will be molesting teenagers this year. <br /><br />Schaap's lame excuse might give pastors another reason to preach the 10% tithe, telling church members they must fork over 10% of their income because if they don't, it might put too much stress on the head man-o-God, and he might accidentally have sex with a teenager. Save a teenager, tithe to your church. I'm only half joking; I've heard some incredibly asinine, nonsensical reasons to tithe given by mega church pastors already. And don't forget, Perry Noble has already <a href="http://fbcjaxwatchdog.blogspot.com/2011/04/perry-noble-blames-homosexuality-on-non.html" target="_blank">blamed the spread of homosexuality on non-tithers</a>, so why not blame sexually abused teenagers on non-tithers also?<br /><br />I hope the judge sees through this nonsense, and I hope the judge ignores the 140 letters of support from First Baptist Hammond church members, including Schaap's wife, and gives Schaap the maximum sentence on January 15th. He will likely be sentenced to 10 years, probably more.<br /><br />The truth is Schaap's molestation crimes had nothing to do with finances of the church or a busy work schedule. Pastors all over the country are over-worked and churches everywhere are under financial strain, and they aren't regularly finding comfort by having sex with teens in the youth choir.<br /><div style="text-align: center;">------------------------------------------------------- <i><b> </b></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b>“I believe First Baptist Church gradually evolved into a cult that was in complete idolatry of my father [Jack Hyles] and, after his death, complete idolatry of Jack Schaap." </b></i>Linda Murphrey, Sister-in-law of Jack Schaap.</div><div style="text-align: center;">------------------------------------------------------- </div><br />Everybody but the die-hard FBC Hammond members understand that Jack Schaap is just another in a long line of perverse sexual offender pastors and lay people at FBC Hammond going all the way back to the 1950s, starting with Schaap's late father-in-law, Jack Hyles. Ministers at FBC Hammond, as at most fundamentalist, independent Baptist churches, are authoritarian rulers who have absolute power and whose judgements and actions are not to be questioned. If you want to read about the history of FBC Hammond and a chronology of the sex crimes and cover-ups at that church, read "<a href="http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/January-2013/Let-Us-Prey-Big-Trouble-at-First-Baptist-Church/index.php?cparticle=5&siarticle=4#artanc" target="_blank">Let Us Prey: Big Trouble at First Baptist Church</a>". A "Godfather"-type movie - in three parts - could be made about the shenanigans at that one church. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0CikUiv32F8LJqnROD9V0-BatnFO_BKZyB0vZ8EjswzLS8JubYdzVwr5-vouvj8vIxPJFXRya4v7QeY_oZGC8wrDjXb6RluGbb66arzytirMnqNoA1duPRfiRAggRjbtcjluZb27lOUd6/s1600/schaapolish.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="297" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0CikUiv32F8LJqnROD9V0-BatnFO_BKZyB0vZ8EjswzLS8JubYdzVwr5-vouvj8vIxPJFXRya4v7QeY_oZGC8wrDjXb6RluGbb66arzytirMnqNoA1duPRfiRAggRjbtcjluZb27lOUd6/s320/schaapolish.png" width="320" /></a></div>Schaap was and is a sick man who as time went on began preaching graphic, sexual sermons at FBC Hammond. Only a man who has a twisted mind, and who answers to no authority, would be able to deliver the sermon Schaap did in 2010 that best demonstrates his sickness.  At a youth conference, in the middle of his sermon he <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr0UpQXYkGs" target="_blank">simulated masturbation for over a minute with a long stick held close to his crotch</a> while he stroked the stick and made painful, orgasmic sounds as he talked to God. Watch it <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr0UpQXYkGs" target="_blank">here</a>, and you'll see what I mean. It is simply unbelievable that a man could behave this way - in front of a audience of teenagers especially - and not be escorted off the property or arrested for his X-rated performance.<br /><br />What can we learn from this? Simple. Churches that have a history of sexual abuse by pastors, especially those that have a history of denying the abuse, covering up the abuse, and then repeatedly lying about the abuse, they will produce more sexual abusers eventually. Churches that can't come clean to their members and to their communities about the past actions of their sexually abusive pastors - and the actions of those who covered it up - are breeding grounds for more misbehaving pastors.<br /><br />I'll wrap this up by sharing with you another quote from Linda Murphrey, daughter of Jack Hyles and sister-in-law of Jack Schaap:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b>“Don’t get me wrong—I certainly believe Jack Schaap is guilty of a crime and deserves punishment. But I wondered: <span style="color: red;">If my dad [Jack Hyles] had been taken off his self-constructed throne long ago and people had known the full truth about who he was, perhaps Jack Schaap would never have been given the liberties, the complete lack of accountability, and the power that eventually led to his own demise</span>. Instead, he was allowed and encouraged to perpetuate what my father began..."</b></i></div><br />How true. Are you in a church that has yet to be completely truthful about the past of a sexually-abusive pastor, or his successor who helped cover it up?

 Some people think it’s easy to be an international internet radio star, but really?  It’s not.  For instance…<br /><br />Jayman and I talked on the phone yesterday in order to come up with new topic ideas that would continue to provide you with quality entertainment at a fair price over the course of 2013.<br /><br />Allow me to illustrate how tough it can be as I transcribe parts of our aforementioned phone call…<br /><br /><b>Matt:</b>  So…this Saturday…What should we do?<br /><b>Jay:</b>  I dunno.  It’s January and the physical clift problem has been solved, so there isn't much going on.<br /><b>Matt:</b>  I know.<br /><b>Jay:</b>  We could piss Schmoop off by doing another Joke Show.<br /><b>Matt:</b>  No…She’s pissed off enough today.  It’s only 10:30 and she’s already told me to go to hell 3 times.<br /><b>Jay:</b>  That’s unfortunate.  I hate it when sick women begin to recover from their ailments.<br /><br />See what I mean?  Even Schmoop, whom we both love and adore, provided us with no help other than saying...<br /><br /><i>“You two buffoons want a show topic?  How about a topic revolving around as to how tired of your show I am, and I wish you guys would just end it?”</i><br /><br />See folks?<br /><br />Comments like that are not helpful, even if Schmoop <i>did</i> later retract her comment by using her oh so overused, and pedestrian, <i>“I have three tubes jutting out of my stomach.”</i> defense.<br /><br />Of course this line of conversation gave rise to an idea in Jayman’s mind…<br /><br /><b>Jay:</b>  Y’know…We could do a three way show.<br /><b>Matt:</b>  What?<br /><b>Jay:</b>  Yeah…Schmoop and Miss could talk.  Or Jo and Warrior Kat could talk.<br /><b>Matt:</b>  That’s hot.<br /><b>Jay:</b>  I know right?<br /><br />Of course, I talked to our lemonade friend Missy and to Schmoop about this idea and what did they do?<br /><br />Uh-huh…They shot it down.  Prudes.  So, we were left with few ideas, however…As dickhead Sean Hannity would say,<i> “Do not let your heart be troubled.”</i><br /><br />Eventually, Jayman and I did come up with some great show ideas.  No, seriously.<br /><br />This coming Wednesday, January 9th at 11 AM ET, we have a guest lined-up who will discuss the hideous problem of Human Trafficking.<br /><br />On Saturday January 12th at 11 PM ET, Jayman and I will be doing a “local news” show, as we illustrate how screwed up our communities are.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEZh2qLoLYefE20bNQYPbHx3hyzxWaS5iZ_J5uw0k3sHxvVViEwXDJ96ojipgGBc9ntVdtJPP45VqWuwGVmz873amsONZx3ETepoaOFyaBwRcCpA_Lw3dAvLATGyZfzVWrPSMYGcJ6VV0/s1600/Jessica+Lowndes+Hot+Sexy+Nude+90210.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEZh2qLoLYefE20bNQYPbHx3hyzxWaS5iZ_J5uw0k3sHxvVViEwXDJ96ojipgGBc9ntVdtJPP45VqWuwGVmz873amsONZx3ETepoaOFyaBwRcCpA_Lw3dAvLATGyZfzVWrPSMYGcJ6VV0/s400/Jessica+Lowndes+Hot+Sexy+Nude+90210.jpg" width="266" /></a>And hopefully, on either January 30th at 11 AM or Saturday February 2 at 11 PM we will have a VERY special guest on with us who will  help to make your Super Bowl Party menu tasty and surreal.<br /><br />See?
