Reply to comment by -Valued_Customer- in Stronger Men's Conference | April 28-29, 2023 | Springfield, MO by shavedcow

Right. Please do ask them all kinds of these questions. They've got contact us links on the stronger men conference website, phone numbers, email, Twitter, Facebook. All that stuff. I've been hitting them up but haven't received a reply yet. I think it would be great if hundreds of people bugged them about it. And I just really want them to answer some of these questions that I'm sure the community has. I think it would be great if they backed out of having him as a guest because I kind of think they booked him before the attempted coup that he helped incite. No "church" in their right mind would even consider having such a hateful, cowardly, treasonous bastard come set up merch stands and spew hateful culture war bullshit to their congregation.

Are you new to Springfield? JRA has been very problematic, for a long time. They've got that 'prosperity gospel' thing going on. They have also been 'character witnesses' for a parishioner who had 1000's of images on his computer, the kind of stuff that usually gets a long prison sentence, but not in general population. Hawley is practically the poster child for their brand of 'christianity'...

Talking about the owner of Lamberts? It wasn’t just images, he was trafficking underage girls across state lines for sex. But he’s rich…..and sick…..and “does a lot for the church and the community” so he deserves a free pass, right? 🙄

They announced him as the guest during last year's conference.

That's heinous. Has he also been one of their guests before too?

I don't know. Some family of mine go there, so that's how I know the above tidbit, but they kind of keep that part of themselves from me a little, so I'm sure they wouldn't have shared.
