    Re: Brick Testament site linked with child porn case??!! —Kyle Beatty
   (...) stronger bastions of respectable journalism in the UK. In any case, I sent the following letter to the editor. It's couched in the usual over-assertive letter-to-the-editor style that seems the only way to get past the sub-editors. to: (...)

     (...) How true. It always amuses me at how our society "shuns" those parts of the Bible that aren't all holy and pure. Guess what people?

      I would also add that a review of the 20 Questions article on BimP would shed a whole "lotta" light on the Reverend's view of the bible and it's message. Sheesh...don't journalist do their research anymore? This is simply nuts. Steven (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.general)

      Exactly! That is an excellent point Steve. I would think that all the positive reations and media attention Brendon's work has recv'd will stand on it own. Too bad the actions of one perv make other peoples names/work get dragged thru the mud. e (...) (22 years ago, 30-Dec-02, to lugnet.mediawatch, lugnet.general)
