thanks for that....

I'm not terribly surprised at this news. I know virtually nothing about Tim Ballard specifically, but as you have indicated we do know the type.

As for the "Better a millstone" quote, I am always amused at how many pretend Christians quote those verses (Luke 17:2, Matthew 18:6) without understanding that Jesus was talking about them. That is, the verse has nothing to do with pedophiles and everything to do with false teachers who mislead immature believers who are not yet strong in their faith or their knowledge of the faith. Whereas these pretend Christians are attempting to mislead the flock by quoting those verses, that makes them the false teachers indicated by those verses.
