A 61-year-old Minnesota pastor was charged this week with raping two girls for nearly a decade.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press reported that a complaint filed in Ramsey County District Court on Wednesday said that Jacoby Kindred began sexually abusing the girls when they were only about 6 years old.

After a letter was found referencing sex acts with Kindred, the girls, now ages 14 and 16, disclosed the relationship to their mother. Police were notified in July.

The younger of the two girls told a nurse at Midwest Children’s Resource Center that Kindred began digitally penetrating her at the age of 6. He later forced her to perform oral sex on him and then progressed to intercourse, the girl said.

Evil with a side of scumbag!

1. This is the epitome...

...of disgust. Someone needs to take a stick to this dick and beat some demons out of him.

[BlueStreak]

2. What we need is much more than that.

Beating the crap out of one guy doesn't do much. For every one of these who gets arrested and slapped on the wrist, there are thousands lurking in churches doing it with no consequences.

Many of the people who go into the ministry are there because they have some serious issues and they couldn't hold down a job in a less forgiving setting. You learn a few buzzwords to repeat over and over, and you're in with some of these churches. Add to the inclination toward mental problems the environment where priests are accorded all sorts of deference that they don't deserve, and you have a real problem.

These things aren't accidents. They aren't a few wayward souls. It is endemic. It is a natural result of the that cult atmosphere.

We need to start addressing the root problems here. Where are the PSAs warning parents to look out for danger signs at church?

[JimboBillyBubbaBob]

3. You make a wonderful point...

...and I agree totally. It was the visceral coming out in me. Well crafted, honest PSAs could serve as that stick.

[JNelson6563]

5. Public floggings.

That would curtail this shit in a hurry.

10. "If as many children were raped at Denny's as at churches ...

... we wouldn't stand for it." - Dan Savage

We'd be burning them to the ground and putting managers in prison.

11. It's important not to characterize these churches as cults

It makes it seem as if these things only happen with those who have the most extreme views. This type of thing happens in the Catholic church and all sorts of protestant churches up to an including those who are very cult-like. It's a national epidemic.

The truly sad part is the person who was doing this was effectively subsidized by the fed and the state since whatever income he was earning as a "pastor" (if any) was tax free. The time for churches getting a blanket tax exemption is long past. If they are doing genuinely charitable work, they should get a tax deduction for that portion. Everything else should be taxed. We shouldn't be subsidizing child rapists and charlatans.

[BlueStreak]

26. When something like this can go undetected for 10 years, it is a cult

I cannot think of any better definition of "cult".

If you are suggesting that the"proper" churches (Catholic and name-brand protestant) are not cults, but some of the more offbeat evangelistic churches might be cults, then I humbly suggest you have far too narrow a view of what is a cult. Any organization that elevates its leaders to the point that they feel they are entitled to such behavior, and the membership doesn't question their behavior, is in fact a cult.

And yes, that includes a lot of name brand churches.

13. The root problem is that we are stupid apes

who believe in demons and gods.

Religion is a bane of mankind.

[valerief]

21. The other apes don't believe in demons and gods. They're too smart for that. nt

[BlueStreak]

27. Is there any evidence that ANY other species worship gods?

Elephants? Dolphins? Ravens? Has anybody ever observed any diety-worshiping behavior from these other creatures?

I don't think so.

We evolved intelligence, and this is what we do with it?

[Le Taz Hot]

15. As one whose grandfather was a Pentacostal preacher

and was the worst kind of abuser and sadist, I can attest that you just nailed it dead on. The ministry attracts these types of individual. As you say, a few buzzwords and the faithful will give you the keys to the kingdom, so to speak. Once that is achieved, they've pretty much got carte blanche. You're right, these AREN'T accidents, they're planned with an endgame in mind that doesn't fall under scrutiny. They're VERY good at hiding who and what they are.

[demigoddess]

25. my uncle ran a preacher out of town

for hitting on my aunt. More of that needed.

Also why should anyone ever let there child be alone with a preacher unattended by a relative any more than we would allow that with a doctor. Even as an adult, with a OB/GYN we always had a nurse in the room. Has that been discontinued???

[BlueStreak]

28. My guess is it is getting worse. Most religions have a shortage of clergy

I know the Catholics in my area have the same priest covering multiple churches every week.

I'm thinking the bar isn't too high these days.

6. If that had been one of my children...may his god help him.

God is all forgiving.

I am not god.

18. +1. Addition being, I'd never trust him to be alone with the kids. Either gender. n/t

[Wernothelpless]

19. Ah, I have a question of that all knowing ...

All seeing, all forgiving GAWD some speak of ...

He should be arrested for aiding the criminals since he never bothers to show up and stop them ...

This all knowing all seeing GAWD is BULLSHIT ...

[jwirr]

9. Sounds like another one of those once saved always saved rw churches. He can do anything he wants

because he is saved. Which means he has some kind of religious renewal.

[niyad]

12. dirty, filthy scum does not begin to cover it:

The complaint said that Kindred had maintained that he had done nothing wrong, calling Minnesota a “ladies’ state.”

“You weren’t there, nobody was there!” he reportedly said, adding that the police should “[g]et your warrants, do what you gotta do, no DNA, none of that.”
“These are not really kids,” Kindred insisted the St. Paul Pioneer Press on Thursday. “They have the mind of the adult.” (he has apparently been listening to that damned judge)

“All a woman has to do (in Minnesota) is make an accusation, true or false, and the man’s going to be in trouble,” he explained. (so, the accusation is true, but she should not make it??)

Kindred told police that he was the pastor of One Accord Ministries, which he said had no physical building. He goes by the name “Jacoby Preacherman” on his Facebook page.

A warrant has been issued for Kindred’s arrest on two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. He faces 30 years in prison on each count if convicted. Kindred said on Thursday
that he was out of town for a funeral.

(out of town for a funeral??? care to bet he does not return?)

[PassingFair]

14. What kind of parent offers their children up to a person like this?

Shit's been going on for almost 10 YEARS!

[bucolic_frolic]

16. So these types of predators

seek out a profession in the clergy

because it gives them access to their prey

and cover for their evil deeds.

Sick sick sick people
