"No, I knew a little girl was pregnant, but I did not think by him and I still don't believe it. I won't believe it," Jennifer Edmonds says.


This says it all.

"Sheriff Blake Wallace says he's a sexual predator."

I wish that the above line said it all, however, the pastor is a predator of many stripes...

I see all Christians and I mean "all Christians" as hypocrites
who are capable of anything at all. A bunch of misfits who have tickets on themselves. Christianity own dark history attests to it.

"A full investigation is underway. Even though Pastor Robinson is behind bars, some people say they just can't accept the charges. "No, I knew a little girl was pregnant, but I did not think by him and I still don't believe it. I won't believe it," Jennifer Edmonds says."

Say the word DNA you Stupid Hefa

Well it's all a lie, you know how little children have a tendancy to make things up, especially the 12 year old girl. I'll bet she prayed for god to send her an Angel and inseminate her, just like Mary did.

Religion, by its very nature, is a fantastic hiding place for aberrant human behavior. Stories like this that seem to occur every day are absolute proof that if you want to hide deviance, join a religion. ALL xtians are hypocrites and hiding something!

An Update:
Pastor's plight challenges church - Duplin County parishioners agonize as an elder is charged in the rape of girl, 12

The parishioners discussed Scripture on Sunday as they might have on any other morning.
"Rebuke not an elder, but entreat him as a father," they read from a scheduled lesson from 1 Timothy 5.

Except on Sunday, the elder of their church was absent.

Since Jan. 13, Thomas Lindell Robinson, pastor of the New Life Christian Center in this agricultural community about 65 miles southeast of Raleigh, has been in the Duplin County jail, held on charges of first-degree rape of a child and taking indecent liberties with a child.

Robinson, 56, of Sampson County is accused of impregnating a 12-year-old Warsaw girl who attended a day care center operated on the church property.

Robinson's wife, Helen Robinson, runs the day care center. It was closed by state regulators soon after Robinson was arrested.

Duplin County Sheriff Blake Wallace said deputies began investigating Robinson in November after a community member notified them about the girl, then already in her final trimester.

They gathered physical evidence and testimony from the girl and other witnesses. The evidence tied Robinson to multiple sex acts with the girl, Wallace said. He said the alleged acts did not occur at the day care center.

"The people at the church are fine people; I know a lot of them," Wallace said. "He's violated [their] trust in one of the worst ways imaginable.

"It's terrible. Disgusting, really," Wallace said.

Robinson could not be reached, and his wife, under the advice of a lawyer, declined to comment.

But church members and friends of the Robinson family say they find the charges hard to believe. They question the credibility of the evidence, which does not yet include DNA samples.

Robinson, who remains in jail in lieu of $250,000 bail, had no previous criminal record.

Pastor defended

"As long as I've known Mr. Robinson, I never had doubts," said Jose Jimenez, whose family has lived next to the Robinsons since 1998. "He's been a good neighbor and a good friend."

Jimenez, 23, said Robinson helped him through a tough transition during high school after moving in next to him. Robinson let him practice basketball in his yard, coached him on making the school team and talked to him about not disrespecting teachers.

Robinson volunteered with recreational programs, helped his wife at the day care and seemed determined to help children who had only one parent, Jimenez said. He said Robinson tried to keep them off the streets.

Every summer, kids were around his yard, Jimenez said. Some would play with or feed the family's pets -- an indoor chihuahua, four cats, a coop full of ducks and chickens and a guard dog. Some helped with yard work.

Robinson's church is a small nondenominational congregation made up of a few core, close-knit families.

The church recently opened its day care center next to the sanctuary, which sits on the outskirts of town near an Interstate 40 interchange.

"It was a nice clean facility," said Bob Martin, owner of The Florist at Warsaw, who carried ribbons out to the grand opening. "I was so proud of it."

John Weatherly, a longtime owner of the downtown Warsaw Drug Co., said the town has a great need for day care services, "so single mommas and daddies can go to work."

A near-normal Sunday

On Sunday, attendance numbered nine members, typical for a Sunday School day that attracts fewer members than the regular every-other-week services.

The parishioners went on as normally as they could have.

They talked about how justice must be tempered with mercy. They lamented how many young people didn't know love in their families, how bad news travels faster than good news. And they sang and praised God.

The girl was expected to deliver her baby Wednesday or Thursday but had not as of Sunday, according to the sheriff. A paternity test will be performed soon after the child is born, he said.

First let me tell you that i know the pastor and his wife for a least 4 to 5 years, and i know that girl because i just to work at the day care center i was the 2-3 yrs, old class teacher and the girl in question is a no good girl i had a lot a problems with her and her sister, many times a had to talk to both about them having sex or trying to do it, i told them you are to young to talk or to do those things you need to think about what is what you want to be when you grow up, and talk about other subjects, so if i need to testify in this case i will do it.

I agree with Claudia69 (probably because she's my mother). Without DNA there is no proof that Pastor Robinson could commit such an egregious crime. I've known him since middle school; he was a substitute teacher at Warsaw Middle School, then my little sister began attending the church after my mother began working at the daycare center. We knew the family very well and we all know that there is no way that Pastor Robinson could've done this. We don't believe any of it, and we stand by him 100%.

LittleClaudia88: "Without DNA there is no proof that Pastor Robinson could commit such an egregious crime."

Amusing... one who doesn't require empirical evidence for their ontological belief, but demands empirical evidence to support epistemological cases...

Sarcastically speaking, that's called "selective" reasoning... using a standard to divine "truth", selectively, based on ones' desired outcome...

Lets apply your ontological belief to the physical environment... Why isn't it possible for an evil spirit to have enticed the good pastor to sin, and then, covered up the crime so that further corruption of the church can continue... obviously, there wouldn't be DNA evidence, if Satan himself removed it from the crime scene...

When you can prove "Satan" didn't influence the good pastor, then take your explanation as a reason to disprove your god's influence in the world...

Uh, Claudia69, not sure what the number 69 means to you, but to some of the sub-culture of society, its a mathematical precept for a male and female being mutually engaged in oral sex...

Mathematically, the square "root" of 69? Eight (ate) something.

Just a thought, perhaps, when giving advice to adolescent girls who are naturally curious about sex, you can request DNA evidence to support their claims as well. Until then, one could judge you just as easy by the number 69 you posted after your name, but... that would be grossly presumptious, unfair, and... biased. Perhaps, we should give you the benefit of doubt... just wondering if you gave those girls that benefit...

I can think of a few reasons someone would fabricate a story, in order to meet their needs, i.e., attention, acceptance, etc.

Sometimes, adolescents create stories about sex for attention, but others create stories about invisible spirits flying through the air and in their own body called a spirit to gain attention or be accepted as part of a group.

I can see wehre there is confusion, in both cases, you seem to blindly accept what you are told as solid evidence for a claim...

Do you accept what "anyone" says, blindly as "fact", or do you require some proof to support their claim before passing judgement?

"Amusing... one who doesn't require empirical evidence for their ontological belief, but demands empirical evidence to support epistemological cases...

Excellent Dave8!

Thanks WM, I hope Claudia69 replies that she requires evidence before passing judgement or accepting something as fact... I sure would like to see the evidence given to her to support her belief in "god" :-) I'm sure its abundant, and overwhelming, else why would someone allow their entire life to be controlled by that single "concept"... Take care
