Anti-Gay, Facebook-Banning Pastor Admits to 3-Somes with Wife, Aide

The New Jersey-based, anti-gay pastor who ordered his congregation to avoid Facebook because it was a "portal to infidelity" had a three- and four-way relationship with his wife, a male church aide, and sometimes the church aide's wife too, reports the Asbury Park Press. The Rev. Cedric Miller didn't need Facebook for his own extra-marital hookups but is still warning his congregation against using the social networking app.

Miller, during his approximately 50-minute Sunday service at the Living Word Christian Fellowship Church, again exhorted church leaders to get off Facebook, the Internet-based social network, asserting that it could lead to re-connections with romantic relationships from their past that would erode and eventually destroy their present marriage. The approximately 300 member congregation showed strong support for Miller, coming to the foot of the pulpit several time to hold hands, recite prayers and in unison shouted "Amen'' and "Praise Jesus.''

Dressed in a dark blue suit with bright red tie and matching handkerchief, Miller downplayed a Asbury Park Press story published earlier in the week about a sexual affair with his wife and a church assistant, saying it was old news that church leaders and most congregants already knew about. Instead Miller apologized for what he said was a foolish transgression from his past that he had paid for had been forgiven. Miller also offered to gladly step down as senior minister if the church leaders deemed he was unfit to serve as their spiritual leader.

The revelations emerged in depositions and testimony in a 2003 criminal case against the same male church aide. The threeways and fourgies often took place "during Bible study" and "after church", according to reports.

Catholic Pedo-priests, Eddie Long, Sen Larry "Wide Stance" Craig, Pres. Bill Clinton, Rev. Miller, Rev Ted Haggard, Gov Elliot "Customer 9" Spitzer, Rep Charles "Forgot About that 200K Bank Account" Rangel, Jim and Tammy Faye Baker, etc... About all we can trust in our clergy and out leaders is that they are human. Its too bad that they can't accept that themselves, and stand in their respective pulpits and preach and or govern with more humility and compassion.

See, this proves it: God did make Adam and Eve and Steve and Darnell too. Every preacher knows the truth, and that's whey they practice it too. Black Bible Study Orgies...I gonna' get that DVD, honey.

[Luther]

They just never seem to stop with the hypocrisy, this one's only weirder as his wife was into freaky with him, and during "bible study" no less, ugh.

[ff]

LOL at Derrick

and, sadly, this shouldnt surprise anyone. although I'm curious how the male/male/female 3some went...

[Quest]

I'll bet good money on it that this so called pastor preferred the extra male involved with himself and wife than the female. Which leads me to believe there was some meat on meat touching at some point during the interaction....maybe some days when the wife wasnt there.

@derrick from philly

Naw, Black Bible Study Orgies...on the next Oprah

[Lang B]

Yeah we all could stand to be forgiven but it's the mental/ moral state of the Pastor that is truly questionable to me. ORGY? PASTOR? CHURCH? Guess he did not take his "christian" wedding vows seriously. I have been completely turned off of the Black church- there is more corruption going on there. Truly sad state of affairs (pun wasn't intended but fits).

[Former COGIC]

Here we go again, more rampant hypocrisy in the black church. These "Do As I Say, Not As I Do" Pharisees will sleep with everyone in the church, say "Praise Jesus!" and their congregations say Amen!

[Saved and Proud Of It!]

GO TO HELL ALWAYS TRYING TO GET PEOPLE RILED UP AGAINST BLACK PASTORS AND CHURCH. AND SO MANY BLACK GAY MEN WANT TO LAUGH AND BE QUICK TO JUDGE TOO.

@Saved and Proud Of It!.........Honey you are everything that is so wrong with organised religion. Typing in CAPS won't drive your point home anymore effectively.Typical chuch queen though isn't it? Sat down somewhere and calm down.

[Former COGIC]

@ Saved and Proud Of It!

Is there lots of closet space in your apartment, child? What about at your sanctified gay bashing church? I bet the choir is the tee! The tee!

[Black Pegasus]

I love it when these QUEENS get exposed! In fact, I'm thinking about exposing this queen who likes to park his profile on BGCLive every damn day. He's a "supposed" youth pastor, yet he finds time to meet young men online..

Hypocrites!

[Jim]

Two things about this are so cliché. First, he says he’s been forgiven. Aren’t they always? I am so waiting for one of these pastors to say, “I asked for forgiveness, but it just wasn’t forthcoming, so I’m leaving the church.”

And the expression, “It’s old news.” Isn’t it strange how whenever a Republican, a corporate executive, or a pastor gets caught in something completely nefarious, somehow it’s something we always knew about anyway, so why would we be wasting our time bringing it up again?

[miguelG]

@Black Pegasus....have you considered pulling him aside privately and warning him before going public?
@Jim..'it just wasn't forthcoming'..hilarious! Can also hear him saying' so to hell with yall and all y'all issues...and if I don't get forgiveness imma start running my mouth!'

"AND SO MANY BLACK GAY MEN WANT TO LAUGH AND BE QUICK TO JUDGE TOO."

You're wrong, girl! It's religious folks who laugh and the first ones to judge. It's so hilarous to listening to oxymoronic Black Christians talk about "judging", especially those who ain't religious or even believe in a God. I was right about my impression of religion in communities of color. Selective morality, selective outrage, hypocrasy, bigotry, violence and intolerance, and hostility.

Don't worry, if there is such thing as Hell, most of us on this blong we'll see you there Saved and Proud :)
