Do not be sway by this because others not known yet future victims are counting on you. Just stand and be vigilant. You must see this fight thru, not for potential future victims but more for yourself.<BR/>If you do not stand now, you will hurt your own self mentally and you will allow DG who is not willing to change goes on to hurt others. This will only make him more arrogant because he will feel he’s above the law and invincible. Anyone who is constantly committing the same sin over and over and over, allowed to self correct and still keep doing it over and over and over. Immediately went to preach at another church. He has not learned or willing to change. <BR/>If the victims do not stand now, I hope you know that this is not over for you. A violation as a young person has a way to reveal itself in every aspect of your life. A violation brings on unhealthy growth if not treated correctly and/or given the closure for healthy growth. As a parent, my job is to provide a safe environment for my child and foster healthy grown. Let them know that they will not abuse and they should never accept being violated under no circumstances. What happen to letting the child know they were not brought in this world for grown men to have their way with them? Why some no longer want healthy growth and think money or power is better than happiness? Why is its ok for someone to abuse our children and wife/mothers? When you borne that precious child or married that wife or look at your mother, Did you not look into their eyes and was overflowed with love. Well how in the world, can you tell them that it’s ok to be violated? How can you turn your head? How can you say a man is okay to hurt you because he is a preacher? How can we demean our love ones or even our love for our love ones to be a pimp for a preacher? <BR/>This I said to my child:<BR/>My child is not for sale ever. There is nothing no one can give me to allow someone hurt you. On my watch, my child you will always know I will protect you. I will not be pressure or fear anyone. Predators should fear ever attempting to hurt you. I will show you in my action and not just talk the talk. I will be able to live with myself and you will too. I want you to know you are someone special. You should not accept abuse from me nor anyone else. You are precious and so loved and I want you to always know and feel loved. <BR/> <BR/>By, Disable from sexual violationAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042418563763538872.post-76918604608242846982008-03-27T12:36:00.000-04:002008-03-27T12:36:00.000-04:00Nothing happened on the 19th.

After three months has passed it looks like Shiloh has moved on but others are stuck in the Mississippi mud. In life we shall have trials and tribulations. Troubles will fall on the just and unjust. Quit trying to be Jesus and save the world! Tiff, turn this burden over to God. I'm sorry, but this battle IS NOT yours, it's the Lords as Yo Adams would sing. Some of these bloggers need to turn their attention to their neighborhoods and work to make our youth stronger.<BR/><BR/>I'm not going backwards with this case and my heart, thoughts and prayers go out to everyone as well. To me it doesn't matter if it's the neighbor down the street, a close relative or pastor, they ALL will dissappoint you with these type of actions on the youth.<BR/><BR/>If we continue to see anybody on the news talking about what should be done to these people and not have a game plan about a solution, then I should admit that your heart might not be in it!<BR/><BR/>Please wake up and remember that's it's NEVER about the preacher.

Ann was Moses Cobb girlfriend; they (the deacons) blocked MC from getting to Ann for DG can be with her. Later I heard Dwayne was a pastor of a small church. DG I heard was supposed to have wanted to marry Ann but immediately got married to his present wife not long after hearing he paid off the child family for having a baby (early 90's). I never got a name. I heard Dwayne stole again, first it was the Post Office (before becoming a deacon for DG) and then from the church (after being a body guard/deacon for DG) he was put up to pastor for. Dwayne father was then in some kind of official office.<BR/><BR/>This will not fade away until there is DG is stopped. He should never preach again. It's amazing how law is good for one person and not good enough for another (especially when you making them money). Some thought Dwayne was placed as a pastor in the church with DG help, for silence.<BR/><BR/>Well, I must say he cannot get away. He is arrogant/ lack respect for God and his people. He maybe fallen but he has no remorse and lacking the truth/light. The devil can speak well too you know.

That crime has punished him in the community as far as not being around kids etc., but that is not the case in the church. Any church could call him to preach as the church is separate from the state and the church has no such rules against what he did, however the bible does. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately we are living in a time where sin is covered and tolerated in the church arena today. Back in the day he never would have been a pastor after he and his wife divorced. Money overruled the gospel in this case. <BR/><BR/>He draws people with money and w/o money. He is an excellence orator and have helped a lot of people and have hurt a lot of people. Someone said it best on this blog, wolf in sheep's clothing. Counterfeit!
