Ohio pastor forced vasectomies, abortions because kids divert money away from church: report

Former members of Grace Cathedral have accused televangelist Ernest Angley of forcing them to have abortions, and vasectomies. And they said that he sexually abused boys in the church, which he has denied.

In the first part of a six-part series on Sunday, the Akron Beacon Journal said that church members had provided it with a recording of a recent church service where 93-year-old televangelist Ernest Angley addressed accusations that he had inappropriately touched a former pastor.

“I’m not a homosexual. God wouldn’t use a homosexual like he uses me. He calls me his prophet, and indeed I am,” Angley explained. “They called Jesus a homosexual, did you know that? And still do. Because he was with men.”

As for the claim that Angley encouraged men in the church to have vasectomies, he said that he had “helped so many of the boys down through the years.”

I would not want to be a member of any church where this raging asshole considers himself a prophet.

value! His faith-healing shit was off the hook!

I figured he had probably died years ago. 93 years old and still looking for a piece of action? I guess he should thank the good lord for Viagra. What a pervert!

Abortions and vasectomies on his flock. I guess they were too suckered in to tell him to go fuck himself.
