    Perry Stone once again accused of sexual misconduct

    .


    Letters detailed allegations of sexual harassment and assault against Perry Stone, including groping, showing that he was aroused while fully clothed and rubbing himself, asking women in his ministry about their breasts, kissing the women on the neck and lips, asking them to kiss him in similar ways, messaging them to send him pictures and asking them to massage him

    That Tuesday night's "special service" was supposed to be a joyous one for televangelist Perry Stone. He circled the room singing along to the music. He cracked jokes about gaining weight over Thanksgiving.
    But as Stone was describing to his followers how some people walked away from religion in recent years, the voice of a woman in the back brought the auditorium to silence.

    "Probably because you keep touching them, you nasty perv," she yelled. "Why don't you tell them the real reason why they left? Because you kept touching them."
    "Ma'am, I'll have you arrested, and I'll bring a lawsuit against you for making statements like that," Stone said, as his security guards rushed toward the woman.
    His voice held steady for a few more words before he began yelling, "You've talked to people who told 16 lies on my wife and I! That's who you've been talking to."
    Last month, the Federal Bureau of Investigation began questioning people connected to Stone and his Cleveland-based ministries, according to five people with direct knowledge of the interactions.

    Well, I'm no Perry Stone apologist, but let him have his day in 'court'. It's hard to imagine someone with such a high profile being stupid enough to do those things.

    I hope it's not true as it really hurts the church at large.

    I use to sort of follow his ministry. Especially when his dad was alive. His dad seemed like a pillar from an era that didn't have lights, camera and social media. Just real and genuine and a connection to our roots.

    At some point in later years, he seemed to get more prideful.

    Looks really bad.... Read the whole article. Resignation of long-term board members and employees. I was on a church board and was glad to resign. I told the leadership I am not going to to get sued personally for things they wanted me to sign off on.

    I've never followed him per se but have seen some teaching. His teaching has always been pretty good.

    The main thing I remember about him was on a TBN telethon several years ago that was pretty funny to me. You know how the fundraising preachers are and of course Perry is more of a teacher. Well they ask him to say something about giving or whatever and he was kinda teaching but it wasn't like the other preachers that stir people up to give. You could see him a little uncomfortable so he begins to kind of raise his voice and transition and before it was over he was doing it like the other ones. lol.

    The media will love this. You hope he is innocent but it needs proper investigation.
    Board members resigning isn't a healthy sign

    The board did find failings and he was in some sort of rehab for a few weeks but popped back up. This is a different level accusation, legal, not church discipline.
