Tony Alamo – The Devil Himself, Parading as God Almighty
Ugh, one thing that sucks about blogging news… is the news. Not always but there are times that when reading the details puts my heart, spirit, and mind collectively in turmoil. The story of Tony Alamo required addressing. If you read articles about his crime history, you will see that he was a very nasty man right across the board. He had been charged with transporting five under-aged girls across state lines for sex.

Preacher Tony Alamo Convicted on Child-Sex Charges; Faces 175 Years
Last year the Voice did a big report on Tony Alamo and his bizarre Christian child-bride cult. New Yorkers of a certain vintage may recall being handed one of Alamo’s insane pamphlets in the subways, where his minions sometimes proselytized. We found Alamo and his Tony Alamo Christian Ministries running charity scams, but it was his polygamous attachment to pre-teens that interested many people — including law enforcement officers.

Column – Greg Sagan: This preacher tests me to the max
Last week evangelist Tony Alamo was convicted of transporting underage girls across state lines for sex. His trial in federal court in Texarkana illuminated, once again, outrages performed at an isolated religious commune by its own leader.
