Thank you so much for staying out ahead on this sad but important situation. Since, so far as I can tell, local media in the upcountry haven’t covered this story, if not for FITS News, I and many others would’ve never known about it.
This is tragic enough, but am I to understand that you just posted her sisters address, email, and phone number? This woman was terrified of her husband and now her sister is taking everything over, which puts her in jeopardy now…and her personal information is out there to see? That is far from being ok, even if it is legally within the scope of what you’re allowed to do. I fear for her.
Apparently sitting down for a few minutes with a Sharpie is a lot to ask.
I share “survivor’s” concern re the safety of Mica’s sister….Hopefully, her legal counsel/law enforcement are taking measures to protect her and other family members.
I’m curious – is there any record of the church-based memorial service – announced by her husband at the previous Sunday service when he announced her death? It was supposed to be yesterday at 3 PM.
This is already a nightmare-ish set of facts regarding the pastor’s pre-emptive actions to shield himself and his assets. But I fear that further revelations will only deepen Mica’s family’s grief. And what about the little boy mentioned????
While i agree they probably should have blanked it out anyone can get a copy of this and still get the info.
In fact, she (Ms. Francis) will have to publicize her number and address as a part of the probate process. Much ado about nothing.
Just one of a million reasons why I don’t go to church. Don’t need some wife beater telling me how awful everyone else is and how I should be giving him money.
Read your Bible at home and tithe to a good charity. You will find nothing but sin in the majority of today’s churches.
There is sin everywhere…because we are all sinners. Church is for the lost, the broken, the…sinner. The problem is the church assemblies who place single person in such a high, unaccountable position of power and adoration that they cannot be questioned or otherwise put in check – which is what the deacons and elders are supposed to do, but so often become rubber stamp for the sole preacher. The early church (i.e., first 300 years or so of the Church) never allowed single individual to hold such a level of power. Now, especially in the South, the large trendy megachurch pastor is somewhat kin to an SEC football coach….they get paid exorbitant salaries, clean house when they come in and put in who they want, and if they don’t perform, well you literally have to pay them more money to leave. But is all this a reason to leave the church and live a “solo” Christian walk? NO – the teachings of the apostles explicitly call Christians to act together in love, harmony, and godly exhortation.
Good response.
Good response by CongareeCatfish, I mean.
Just an observation, but I see zero grief in the pastor’s announcement. His emotion was akin to him saying the building fund is growing and they’d hold a fundraiser later in the month. I wonder if they are a Bethel affiliate church?
Well said CongareeCatfish!
Excellent piece. Oddly, Lumberton is referred to by NC defense attorneys as “the Murder Capitol of the state.”
