BOYCOTT CHUCK PHELPS FROM BOB JONES UNIVERSITY!!!!!!

								On May 27, 2010 Fox News ran 
								the story on its website.  http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/05/27/pregnant-teen-victim-recalls-publicly-shamed-church-relocated-colorado/

							The first televised 
							live interview of Tina Anderson by the national 
							media on May 29, 2010.  Since the beginning Tina 
							claimed Phelp blamed her.  http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/05/29/earlyshow/saturday/main6530160.shtml 
							 "Anderson 
							says when she came forward about the alleged rape 
							and eventual pregnancy, church officials, led by now 
							former pastor Chuck Phelps, blamed her. Anderson 
							claims she was forced to stand in front of her 
							congregation and apologize for getting pregnant, and 
							write a letter asking Willis' wife for forgiveness. She 
							was later sent off to Colorado where, she says, she 
							was forced to give up the baby for adoption."

							The video is no longer available on the CBS website. 
							 Here's the you-tube video.  (The picture is 
							reversed because the program was recorded using a 
							camcorder). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDVveQP0KKM  
							This report incorrectly said that Willis was a 
							deacon, he was not a deacon but an elder. 

On June 3, 2010 
								 ABC ran the story for the first time.  http://abcnews.go.com/Health/MindMoodNews/alleged-rape-victim-accuses-trinity-baptist-church-deacon/story?id=10806348&page=2#.Tsk9TMO5Mos

Tina's brother 
								steps up and cooperates her testimony against 
								Phelps and Willis early on.  http://www.fox59.com/news/wxin-pastor-rape-case-controversy-060310,0,2291723.story 

								 Chuck Phelps himself preached this message on 
								Church Discipline on April, 21, 2010. Phelps 
								talks about a "young lady" coming before the 
								church after being found pregnant outside of 
								wedlock.  Although he says there was nothing 
								going on, this message was preached one month to 
								the day after Ernie Willis was arrested.  http://www.sermonaudio.com/playpopup.asp?SID=421102036570  
								Here's the Chuckletravels post about this 
								message. http://chucklestravels.wordpress.com/2011/05/09/phelps-prickly-issues/

ABC News 20/20 
								aired, 
								"Shattered Faith" April 8, 2011.  Phelps 
								said on  camera that Tina was in a ongoing 
								dating relationship with a married man http://chucklestravels.wordpress.com/2011/05/03/chuck-phelps-the-martyr-for-truth/  

On May 14 the 
								Baptist Fundamentalist paper published a phone 
								interview where only Chuck Phelps was 
								interviewed.  (See copies in attached files.) http://chucklestravels.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/the-ifb-does-not-love-justice-or-mercy/ 

The Concord NH 
								Police began investigating Ernie Willis in 
								February 2010, Phelps was contacted by the CPD. 
								 Please see the timeline of Phelps' 
								reappointment to the Bob Jones University 
								Cooperating Board in the attached file.

								Trial takes place, Phelps had to be called as a 
								hostil witness to testify for the prosecution. 
								Unofficial court transcript of Phelps testimony 
								here. In one of the last statements Phelps 
								called Tina a liar when responding to this 
								question by Prosecutor Wayne Coull. 

								Phelps shed tears over the perpetrator.  

Phelps called 
								Tina a liar before stepping down:

								 Prosecutor 
								Wayne Coull: "Do you at least acknowledge that 
								you would never do this again? That you would

								 not have Tina stand before 
								500 people and “confess?”" 

								Phelps: "With great sorrow, I 
								regret this, because the press and the 
								newspapers have called me anything but 
								
								an honorable man! That is the 
								case here! The case is that they have blamed me. 
								They have spun me as a rapist 

								just because I asked a lying girl 
								some questions! I regret that." 

								Ernest Willis was found guilty of 5 counts on 
								May 27, 2011. Willis 
								was sentenced  to 15-30 years in NH state prison 
								on September 6, 2011

								Bob Jones University and Bob Jones, III kept it 
								quiet that Chuck Phelps re-appointed to its 
								board.  We finally found out November 1, 2011. 
								 Phelps doesn't even list it on his own bio on 
								the church in Indianapolis he currently pastors.

								Charles has been involved in 
								full-time ministry since 1982. Since earning his 
								doctoral degree fifteen years ago, he has 
								actively engaged in teaching a future generation 
								on the college and seminary level. He has worked 
								in numerous schools in the United States and on 
								foreign fields as diverse as Belarus, India, 
								Cambodia, Zambia, and Mexico. He especially 
								enjoys teaching pastoral ethics, church 
								management, church growth, and discipleship. His 
								favorite doctrinal studies are ecclesiology (the 
								doctrine of the church) and eschatology (the 
								doctrine of biblical prophecy). Charles serves 
								on many advisory boards including those of 
								Baptist World Mission, Central Africa Baptist 
								College (Zambia), Fundamental Baptist Fellowship 
								International, Gospel Fellowship Association, 
								and the Wilds Christian Camping Association.  

								Note The Wilds is a Christian 
								Camp where young children and teens attend.  Bob 
								Jones University faculty members helped build 
								the 
								Wilds Camp in Brevard, NC.  The Wilds has 
								now opened a second camp
								
								Wilds of New England.  What is a man like 
								Phelps doing on the board of a camp when he 
								treated a minor rape victim in such a deplorable 
								way?

								To make it worse Chuck Phelps 
								co-teaches a class on "Pastoral Ethics" at BJU.

	Phil Kidd: "Man-O-Gawd" He preaches that God hates all other races, but his own. He preaches about how women need to be beaten into submission. He preaches that children should be seen, and never heard unless asked to speak. He frequently came to New Bethany and was allowed to take girls across state lines, for the purpose of making money. He is an evangelist, protected by God, yet he has body guards....
	Mack Ford, Founder and owner of the New Bethany homes for girls and boys. August 2010, five survivors went back to New Bethany, hoping to gain some closure form the years they had suffered horrendous abuse and torture, at the hands of Mack Ford and his staff members. We were taking photos of the compound, Mack Ford was taking photos of us, with his Stanley tape measure. While The New Bethany Home for girls and boys is closed (for now) Mack Ford still lives on the property, which is over 250 acres, with four huge buildings. At one point he had one half of the property for sale, listed for over 2 million dollars. He is sitting on a pot of gold, and his only means of acquiring this was to exploit children for decades. He collected up to $1,000.00 dollars per month, per child, yet traveled the country going from church to church, claiming that New Bethany ran only on donations. You would think that while he has access to unlimited money, he could at least afford to purchase a camera...
