A leaked recording of a telephone call reveals that the Rev. Ernest Angley, a televangelist based in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, once admitting to having sexual relations with another man, despite a long career of calling homosexual men “vile.”

The Akron Beacon Journal reports that the recording was made available by a person who had read the newspaper’s coverage of a lawsuit filed against Angley by the Rev. Brock Miller, a former pastor at Angley’s Grace Cathedral who is alleging that he suffered years of sexual abuse at Angley’s hands.

In the recording, Angley can be heard discussing his sexual relations with a male church employee while on a mission trip to Africa. The Rev. Bill Davis, another former Grace Cathedral pastor, can be heard confronting Angley over the affair.

“It’s not about your affair with [name withheld], and your sexual promiscuousness [or] impropriety, whatever you want to call it,” Davis said. “Now, that hasn’t got out.”

FORMER ASSOCIATE PASTOR ACCUSES TELEVANGELIST ERNEST ANGLEY OF IMPOSING FORCED VASECTOMY, LAWSUIT SAYS
BY ML NESTEL ON 8/27/18 AT 4:09 PM

When Brock Miller turned 18, he left North Carolina and embarked on a kind of pilgrimage to Akron, Ohio, to seek out a job with television evangelist and self-proclaimed miracle worker Ernest Angley.

To land the associate pastor position, Miller claims, he had to prove he was worthy.

That meant allegedly undergoing a mandatory vasectomy “to ensure that he was never able to have children,” before he tied the knot of marriage, a civil lawsuit filed last week in the Summit County Common Pleas Court and obtained by Newsweek says.

. . .

Angley, who is now 97, allegedly demanded that the teenager (who was only months into his employment but already saw Angley as a “father figure”) pay visits to his domicile.

It would be fine if they were just lying to themselves but not when they have an audience and followers to spread the hate.

Mormon Gay Conversion Therapist Now ‘Choosing to Pursue Life’ as Homosexual

A prominent gay conversion therapist and active member of the “ex-gay” scene has announced his intentions to start a new life as a homosexual. David Matheson, author of the book Becoming a Whole Man and creator of several experimental programs which seek to “address incongruous same-sex attractions” revealed he is now seeking to date men.

The announcement was revealed by fellow gay conversation advocate Rich Wyler, founder of the People Can Change organization, in a post to a private Facebook group obtained by Truth Wins Out (TWO), a group who fight against anti-LGBT prejudice and discrimination.

“David…says that living a single, celibate life ‘just isn’t feasible' for him, so he’s seeking a male partner,” Wyler wrote. “He has gone from bisexuality to exclusively gay.”

In a further statement to TWO, Matheson, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, confirmed the statement from Wyler, adding his time in a straight marriage and the “ex-gay” world was “genuine and sincere and a rich blessing to me.”

Are the ones who secretly desire gay sex most, and they hate themselves for wanting that. We see this pattern repeated over and over again in the "guardians of the public morality". The powerful guardians will eventually find a secret way to meet their desires, while openly condemning everyone else who seeks the same.

I don't know any straight men who obsess over homosexuals and what they're doing behind closed doors as much as these people do. I think that anyone who is comfortable with their own sexuality truly doesn't give a shit.

They submissively follow a draft-dodging casino hustler sexual predator with a voluminous record of lying. And they think they are "holy."

I live in Akron...where this buffoon and his flock reside. He's nuts.

1. He buried his wife Angel Angely (yeah that's right) with a phone in her casket so he can talk to her.
2. He actually owns a Boeing 747 that parks at the Akron-Canton Airport.
3. He has had a number of FBI ordeals. He used "volunteer staff" to work in his for-profit restaurant which is obviously a labor felony.
4. He has had a number of sexual abuse claims over the years from flock members.

... slapping them on the forehead. My college roommates and I had a drinking game. Every time he yelled "be aheel-ehd" and slapped someone, you had to kill your beer. We would get shitfaced on Sunday evenings.

There was a "shock jock" DJ in Chicago back in the late 1970s-1980s who mocked Ansely's "faith healing" scam to the tune of Blondie's "Call Me." The band was "Steve Dahl and Teenage Radiation", and the spoof was "Heal Me." I'm sure it's on YouTube somewhere. (This is the same guy involved in the infamous "Disco Demolition" fiasco at a White Sox game, BTW.)

Ernie's erection

There is a tall tower at his headquarters that looks like a chimney.
I think it was originally going to be a restaurant at the top but no go.

Locals call it Ernie's erection.
