A pastor in west Texas has issued an ominous warning to anyone who publicly calls out a preacher in televangelist Mark Barclay’s “Righteous Preachers Network.”

Speaking specifically about those who “lied” about James Randolph, Barclay’s son-in-law who’s been charged with sex crimes, Pastor Jeremy Pfeil of Accelerate Church in Amarillo, Texas, said:

I’m not going to allow people like that around here and I’m letting you know that. They’re not going to come and video. . . . And if you still talk to them and listen to them, you’re gonna be sniped and taken out. Don’t come crying to me later. I’ve warned you and warned you and warned you and warned you!

Randolph is an associate pastor at Living Word International Church in Midland, Mich.—the church Barclay founded. He’s currently facing seven felonies in Michigan, including a child sex crime.

Hey, Jeremy. Pray louder to your god to intervene. Perhaps he's asleep or taking a massive shit.

Just finished binging The Righteous Gemstones... Shocked to find out it's a documentary.

Not that shocked.

I was about to say this is some Righteous Gemstones type shit. I too binged. Good show for anyone who has not seen.

Brave talk for a dude with a target on his pulpit...

It's also cross hairs in the negative space.

This cult has always been weird. They are building a compound like scientologist do with all the land they purchased near their church. Got a private jet which they let their members pay for the upkeep and paint jobs. All religion is a scam.
