Pastor Beaten After Blunt Eulogy Reverend Calls Deceased 'Drunkard And A Fornicator' POSTED: 10:16 p.m. EDT June 21, 2002 LOXLEY, Ala. -- Authorities in Loxley, Ala., are investigating the alleged beating of a preacher by funeral mourners who didn't like his blunt eulogy. Glynis Bethel told The Associated Press that her husband -- the Rev. Orlando Bethel -- was attacked during a June 14 funeral and dragged out of the church. That's because Bethel told mourners the deceased was in Hell and that they were headed the same way. The dead man was Glynis Bethel's uncle. Orlando Bethel referred to him as a "drunkard and a fornicator." Glynis Bethel, who's also a preacher, says "the fornicators didn't like what he said so they got up and beat him." She says police didn't make any arrests, so she and her husband -- who may have a broken nose -- are taking out warrants.

After reading this all I can do is wait for the wrath of god to come.

The guy deserved the beating. I was at a funeral like that two years ago. We were PISSED OFF but out of respect for our buddies family we didnt say anything. I'm still mad about that asshole.

[Kakero]

that guy should get a beating, how dare he said those things?

[Willard]

That sure as heck isn't the right thing to say at a funeral.

Push+weak point in mind=bend:.bend+religion=converts:.Converts+money= 'donations':.'Donations'+Being A priest=Hooker money:.Hooker Money+Hooker+Motel=Nasty Evangelist sex. That's the only real reason, he was intersted in converting them. That tasteless prick, that'd be like if Verizon wireless advertised at your funeral.

PS: Dramac Ulk, Haven't you learned yet? You need to size-down that sig!

First off, Oblivion, please watch your language and avoid flaming and flamebaiting. If you aren't religious or don't care to associate with those who are that's your business. You are entitled to your opinions but if you express them in a way that denigrates others on this board or expressly invites a flamewar it is in violation of the the rules.

As to the topic at hand: I definitely think that if one is giving a funeral service or the eulogy, 'speaking ill of the dead' isn't too classy. I most certainly don't advocate beating anyone or violence in this situation but the pastor should be told by the family and friends that he was out of line and if they paid for his services, I'd think about asking for a refund.

And I still don't see what's wrong with drunkenness and/or fornication. They do tend to go hand in hand, and the former does make the latter alot more difficult to undertake properly. But I don't think anyone would be burning in hell for hitting the sauce or knockin' booties [img]smile.gif[/img]
