After confessing to some seriously sinful acts — like sex in church — Alabama pastor remains defiant
The Rev. Juan McFarland has been the center of national attention since September, when he confessed from the pulpit to having sex with members of the church in the church using illegal drugs and mishandling church funds. For good measure, he said he has been HIV-positive since 2003. He later said he has AIDS. And its not clear whether he disclosed that to some of his sexual partners.
Earlier this month, the deacons of Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Montgomery, Ala., reached a near-unanimous vote: termination. But McFarland refused to stand down. Tuesday, attorneys for the churchs board filed suit against him and a supporter, Marc Anthoni Peacock, who they say made veiled threats against any elder who tried to attend church. He cited castle law, which gives property owners the right to use deadly force, if necessary, to stop an intruder.
The deacons attorney, Julian McPhillips, told AL.com the self-defense statement was a not-so-veiled threat to shoot the deacons.

I'd add a snarky comment, but really why bother?
