Mr Alamo isn`t getting any younger, either; but at least he has 170+ years to reconsider his views. |
Okay, who is Mr. Alamo and why 170 years?

He was one of the second-tier anti-Catholic preachers (behind Chick, et al.) I don't recall what he went to prison for.

I have tried to listen to three broadcasts so far but there is some background noise that I cannot seem to overcome.
I went directly from your link here.

I believe it was child molestation. Then again, that's from me checking Wikipedia, so I could be wrong.

Basically: sex with under age girls. Lots of them!
To save a lot of typing, it`s probably "cleaner" to provide this link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Alamo
Anyway, he`s a monster; and he deserves what he got.
PS

You beat me to it;  but that was it......and more!
There`s at least one on-line group which was set up to aid his many victims, and to help bring him to justice.

Hey, you brought more information than I did!

In his book "Catholicism and Fundamentalism", Karl Keating devotes a full chapter to Chick, Rivera and Alamo. Appropriately, the chapter`s titled "At the Fringe"!
After getting on the Internet only a few years back, i just casually googled Chick, Alamo, John Todd, Rivera etc, and hit paydirt with Alamo: a heap of news articles; and then, in 2009 (was it?), the news of his arrest. i`ve been following it ever since. So, it`s just by pure chance that i know his recent history.
There`s more than just the underage girls: he promotes polygamy, and uses the Old Testament as "proof" that it`s still OK. He had a length of timber which was used to thrash children who stepped out of line: he called it "The Board of Education". He was/is a sadist.
ETC.
His cult was a true cult, with near-total mind-and-body-control.
He deserved what he got.
Regarding his anti-Catholicism, Karl Keating regards him as being worse than Chick!

:cue groans over bad pun:
But really, putting the body of your late wife on public display for six months while waiting for her resurrection is just...is there no respect for the dead?
