Squashing the rumor----

Nothing solid or legally binding, just basing my theory on very recent (today) business-as-usual Facebook postings, I do not think Mr. Shelton has expired.

Anyone have an update on TS's health or what actually happened?  Is he back in VA?

Does TS have a Facebook page?

Who knows. If he's so "stressed" I'd assume he wouldn't have time for FB. Still makes one wonder, if he's sure he's going to be found Innocent, why is he so stressed???? :hot:

Adam, I would think that even if he believed he would be equitted of the charges, the huge amounts of changes and inconveniences to him and his family have to be stressful.  If he believes he will be convicted, then there is even more stress.  Either way, being falsely accused or massive amounts of retribution catching up with you after years of offenses, it's pretty stressful.

Stressful.....on TS family and TS??????? What about "destruction" of other families???  Seems this amounts to stress coming from being exposed from hiding, "paying for sins" and giving up lifestyle.

Too bad -for his stress of "self inflictions" and where was his family to aid and  :help:  the sickness instead of  :dunno: just cover it?????  Should they not suffer at least stress for their "crimes"?  Only one way to undo that bad stress, --truly repent and suffer the consequences. They are the ones that made it over the line and path of no return for their deeds except true repentance. I sort of look at TS family stress as "survival" with no penalities to their known crimes. The stress is actually for ones own self and not stress to know if we are pure in the sight of God. I have the latter stress.

Tinka, there is pain on both sides.  Even TS is in pain...hurting people, hurt others.  That does not diminish any crimes he committed, just the reasoning behind it.  I am a huge believer in  you can be in pain, but bad behavior is not acceptable and punishable for sure.  He should pay for crimes for which he is guilty, no matter the pain that caused him to inflict such horrific pain on others.

I believe it is highly likely he has crossed the line of an unpardonable sin and if given half a chance he would do ot again, and again, and again. He is a predator.

GJ, there is no way we can know.  Asking forgiveness in no quarantee against paying the consequences fo our sins.  He very well be forgiven by God, but still he broke the law, there are still those consequences.

For a minister of the Gospel, the predator would have to publicly confess his sins and ask forgiveness. And give up his credentials!!!

There is no evidence he has asked privately for forgiveness, nor is there any evidence he has in any way forsaken his ways.

I will dare to declare he is not yet ready to meet his maker or has crossed the line and committed the unpardonable sin and is a lost soul walking.

GJ, you lack the authority to make that judgement.  That is not the way God works, with you sins or mine.  There will be no evidence publicly, that he asked God's forgiveness.  However, we do agree in that he does need to apologize to his victims, and definitely at this point the credentials should be revoked.  He needs much help.  however, all of this is most difficult when you and those around you have a vested interest in living in a state of denial.

My understanding is that there's supposed to be another status conference in early July to determine whether Tommy's health is such that the trial can proceed.
