Recently, Abba’s House Church in Hixon, TN, made news for ordaining women, but this past week, they made local news over the arrest of their deacon, Christopher Collins, who was charged with nine counts of aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor. The charges were filed over video content Collins had recorded of a fifteen year old teen who he secretly recorded in the bathrooms of his house.
Per the Chattanooga Times Free Press:
The wife knew the girl as a family acquaintance who recently stayed overnight at the couple’s house. Collins’ wife thought her husband installed cameras inside the downstairs bathroom. She told police the minor appeared to notice the camera and was seen using the shower and toilet, according to the arrest report.
They go on to describe the wife’s repeated confrontation of the husband’s behavior, in which he obfuscated or denied the existence or purpose of any cameras, yet had discovered the files on the phone of the husband.
The wife went to Abba’s House church staff, which referred her to law enforcement. Police subsequently arrested Collins via a traffic stop. Abba’s House told the following to the media:
According to Phillips, the Abba’s House pastor, Collins’ wife came into the church for marriage counseling around noon Wednesday. She advised him that she found videos on her husband’s phone of a 15-year-old nude girl recorded from the woman’s home in Hamilton County.
Phillips told her the church would have to contact authorities immediately, as the accusation involved a minor.
This is the law being followed by the church, wherein pastors are legally obligated to report sexual crimes involving minors. The reference to marriage counseling perhaps alludes to other issues ongoing in the Collins’ household which are doubtless connected to the voyeurism.
Per the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, Collins is being held on $50,000 bond and shall appear in court on January 20.
Analysis
As flawed as Abba’s House is in their heretical egalitarian doctrine, they did the right thing in this circumstance without question. Whether there were flaws or signs in Collins’s behavior that long predate the arrests remains to be seen.
These were the sorts of cases that over the years became accumulated into the Guidepost Solutions list of sexual abusers. In their findings, the majority of cases were much like Christopher Collins: a pastor/deacon/member committed a sex crime, they were arrested and charged. There was no widespread cover-up. There were very few examples of pastors bouncing around following a scandal. Multiple decades of news articles were required to accumulate two hundred pages of cases.
It was over cases like Christopher Collins, where the local church did all the proper steps, that the Southern Baptist Convention embarked on a sexual abuse humiliation ritual to their own financial ruin.
One Response
Please God, make the Southern Baptist Convention (more like zionist heretic convention) go bankrupt.
The only things the SBC stands for these days is race-mixing, jew worship, zionism, holocaust groveling, open borders, miscegenation, and various other forms of degeneracy.
The sooner the corrupt and decadent SBC is consigned to the trash heap of history, the better.
