LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Las Vegas church pastor has been arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting two teen boys at his home.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that 57-year-old Billy Eckstine McCurdy of the Revival Temple Church of God in Christ was arrested Friday on 11 sexual abuse charges.

He’s accused of using his position in the church and Bible scriptures to force the boys into sexual relationships with him.

Both boys testiﬁed before a grand jury, which indicted McCurdy on Thursday of six counts of sexual assault and ﬁve counts of open or gross lewdness.

The indictment came ﬁve years after a similar case against him was dropped.

Police say McCurdy has spent a lot of time with young people, including trips to Arizona and California.

“Tooty Frooty in the booty wooty”! ROFLMBAO You kids crack me the hell up! Yawl have such a way with words.

madammidwestOct. 13th, 2010 at 5:11 pm

What the hell do you mean dude–African Army, is being a booty bandit or a homo curable? Sexing kids is inexcusable, period. If these peds were so SICK then why hide it. Truly disturb- ed individuals don’t give a damn where they at. A skitzo will act out in the public, at night, in church, walking down the street, whereever, whenever. They’ll box a cop, a pitbull….break into your damn house in broad daylight without a gun! Standing there butt naked talking about give me all your s**t.

This is premeditated and then executed. I have no sympathy for anyone like this that PRACTICE this type of behavior. When you start visualizing your ding-a-ling up in a kids butt….BEFORE you act on it, go confesses it before professionals, or someone that can help you, AND pray. You don’t jack-up a kid and then say….oh, I’m sick….I was molested as a kid….if that’s the case then go jam the butthole that jammed yours. These fools didn’t understand or like when they were being violated so now the world suppose too.

As far as homo’s….even if born gay, it’s a choice to take off your clothes and have sex, just like it is for heteralsexuals….but for most homo’s their partners are partners of their choice, they give consent. I’m not talking about molestors….rapist, nope. That’s not to be considered.

Like God told me if you are born HOWEVER….BE YE REBORN AGAIN through the Christ, in Jesus name. That settles that. Cause you got to keep two other things in mind, murderers are born to…which go to show you…WE ALL are BORN on EARTH….messed up…..effected by something, or our bloodline. No excuses. Give it over to God.

I wouldn’t let the media deﬁne controversies for me. There’s a bigger picture taking shape here and it is aimed squarely at the universal Church. These wolves in sheeps’ clothing, whether alleged or actual, were allowed and encouraged to be in their positions so that, just like a ticking time bomb, they would be “discovered” at the most opportune moment to bring discredit to the legitimate Church. God has put in place what I call “spiritual garbage collection” long ago to weed out the bad seed.

This type of thing isn’t even ’scandalous’ anymore….sheesh! coldt7Oct. 13th, 2010 at 2:38 pm

Peace Dear Family:

Dear Dear Black brothers,

Please stop looking to others for God. Look to God for yourself. Don’t follow false prophets, Jesus warned us of this.

1. “Have a talk with God” as Stevie Wonder said, all by yourself for yourself. Listen quietly for Him to answer. Trust Him within yourself.

2. Read the Bible or Quran or Torah or Tannakh or Kebra Negast or Metu Neter for YOURSELF. Make a plan of action with your family, friends and closest loved ones that involves Black History, Scriptures, Mathematics, Science, Good Health, Discouragement of jealousy, and good legal Business Practices.

3. Keep yourself busy at the library, Martial arts schools, sports for exercise, relaxation time, studying, starting book clubs, running, bike riding, starting a business or looking for a better job.

4. Read, Read, Read.

These four things will keep you occupied and out of the devil’s hands, literally.

Peace!
