Pastor who said Facebook was ‘portal to infidelity’ had four-way relationship
A pastor who ordered his congregation to shun Facebook because it was a “portal to infidelity” had a four-way relationship with his wife, a male church assistant and the assistant’s wife, it has emerged.
Rev Cedric Miller, of Neptune, New Jersey, last week told 50 married church officials to delete their accounts with the social networking site or resign.
Rev Miller, 48, claimed that 20 couples from his 1,100-member church had experienced marital problems in recent months after contacting ex-partners through the site.
But over the weekend Rev Miller’s local newspaper disclosed that he “didn’t need Facebook to be part of an extramarital affair”.
It found transcripts from a criminal trial against the church assistant in 2003, in which details emerged of what Rev Miller has since called “a very painful part of my past”.
In the case, which was eventually dismissed, he testified that his wife, Kim, had an affair with the assistant, and that he and the man’s wife were often present at their meetings.
“I mean between the four of us,” Rev Miller said. “It was just, I mean there was touching … it was crazy, it was as wrong as wrong could get.”
Asked by a lawyer whether he was talking about “sex”, Rev Miller replied: “Yes”. He described their behaviour as “beyond what was appropriate”.
Rev Miller told the court that the meetings between the couples often took place after Thursday Bible study sessions and after church services on Sundays.
He said in a statement: “This was resolved at that time and accordingly we will not allow it to detract from our mission at hand to save as many marriages as we can.”
My summary: It’s pastor’s prerogative to participate in an orgy; however, don’t let pastor preach, teach, nor counsel other s upon biblical teachings. Get my point?
