Current developments -

Just to stay up to date on Ralph Rutledge, I do not believe there has been any change in status.

Any reports I receive confirm the suspicions of this blog and confirm the conclusion that he is NOT ready to restore.

This means that He should not be put in the position of Christian ministry to groups or individuals until his status changes.

At the moment he has not renounced his sexual sin patterns, has not dealt with the root issues and has not entered into accountability relationships to keep him on a straight and narrow path.

I still believe it is not wise to use laying of of hands prayer for him or receive it from him.  There is a danger of transference of spirits by laying on of hands.  The predator in him may use close contact through prayer to make inappropriate advances toward men.

He still looks like the 'Golden Boy' on the outside.  My fear is that there is a wolf in sheep clothing on the inside.

We need to pray that the situation come to light.  That victims receive an apology and that the abuser become contrite.  God is at work in us in in Christ Jesus exposing evil and bring everything to light.

Shine Jesus Shine.
