I know Mr. Crumbley. I do not find him to be trustworthy in the least.

My thoughts and prayers (what few i have) are with the abused. This is the most difficult part of coming forward about being abused. The scorn from those who just don't want it to be true. Be strong.

Why did he wait so long to report this god forbid if it was ME that was abused I would have run home and told my parents I would have not kept bottled up inside of me for decades

lights, camara, action. it's sad that before people do a report they do not investigate. eric crumbly is a criminal. ask him why is the man that molested him the godfather of his children, ask him why did he follow the man that molested him to another church. you cant be talking about the same eric crumbley who many years ago tried to comment suicide and held his ex- wife hostage and the only person who he would speak to that clam him down is the same man he is claiming molested him. lets get real knowing him there will be a tell all book that will follow this lie that he think he will get paid for. you didnt know that eric crumbely did not retire from the police force however he was asked to leave because he was caught on camara doing illegal things and came to msgr. harris who could not help him because he was caught on tape. do the real investigation and bring our pastor back home where he belong..............7625

There is another discussion on this topic with more participants. I think they should read what you have wrote. it is found under "Monsingor Wallace Harris asked to step down". I just don't understand how information about Eric is not being heeded. |

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Also, let he who was actually there to see what happened with Msgr. Harris and Pastor Crumbley say it with certainty. You can't. So it would be decent of you to not judge and show wome grace and decency on a sensitive subject that you know nothing about -- being a personal victimn of sexual abuse. It's serious, and it's nothing to throw stones at. Shame on you who are doing so. I pray for you. I have to remember that it was the religious folks who crucified Jesus. But Christ in his grace said to forgive them for they know not what they do. So in this case, "forgive these ignorant people, Lord, for they know not what they say!"

Cherish: Bravo for your comments!! You see, the REAL Christians are stepping up and saying the right things. The devil is so busy and his influence is reflected in the correspondence of "my pastor & "HarlemGirl2828". The person under "my pastor" - oh God, I pray you are not in the position of leading a flock in Brooklyn. God have mercy on your soul!

all of you crumbley followers listen up. your so called pastor is nothing but a copy cat liar. Ever been to St.Charles? Well every type of ministy that crumbley has in his church has been going on for years at St. Charles. Funny how everything that he has set up at Harlem faith center is and exact copy of what we have at St.Charles. And for all of you St. Charles people go and check out the web site for Harlem faith center. This man has copied every program that we have at St.Charles to the letter. Every thing that this man has supposedly done for the community is exactley what Monsignor Harris has done before him. All Eric Crumbley has done is follow everything that Monsignor Harris has done and set up a church of his own. The only problem with that is he will never have as much respect and prosperity as Monsignor Harris has with St.Charles. It is obvious even to the blind that
Eric Crumbley is jealous of the respect and the following that Monsignor Harris & St.Charles recieves. Harlem Faith center will never be as well known as St. Charles no matter how hard Eric tries to copy our church. No matter how much food he gives out, no matter how many ministies that he tries to set up, no matter how many choirs he tries to organize. These things have been going on in St.Charles for years. People come from ALL OVER THE WORLD to visit St.Charles Borromeo. People from all over harlem and futher know of the food pantry at St.Charles. Let's see Eric get tractor trailer's full of turkey's for thanksgiving and give then to the multitudes of hungry in harlem. Right now their are people in other countries praying for the return of Monsignor Harris. You know why? Because they have been to our church and heard him speak, heard how the choir sings and has felt the Holy Spirt right in St.Charles. They have left and went home to their countries and have spread the word of St.Charles Borromeo in harlem and as a result every week we get vistors by the bus loads. So as I said before you crumbley followers think about why he might be jealous of our pastor and our church so much that he would make up all of these false allegations, but yet try to follow all of our practices to the tee! |

St. Charles Harlem -- I feel very sorry for you. You are one of those "religious people" I was talking about who would have been right there to crucify Jesus. Nothing you said has anything to do with the issue of sexual abuse vicitimization. Nothing. You are speaking out of pure selfish emotion and not out of reason or the posibility that you may not be so perfect yourself. The devil is busy, and he's having is way with you and everyone who is putting down Pastor Crumbley without cause or proof.

Cherish don't feel sorry for me,feel sorry for eric because come judgement day God will get him for the false accusations. And futhermore I feel sorry for you because you stand behind a man who supposedly waited 30 years, plus he waited until two anonomous individuals came foward with their claims. Not only that, he came to ST.Charles to spy on what was going on in our church 2 days before he made his allegations. And he had the nerve, the gall, and the audacity to ask church members what he could do to help. So his way of helping was to make these allegations. Come on of course I am angry, and so are many others. As far as a religious nut who whould have crucified Jesus, I think not. I am just stating facts about what kind of person Eric CRUMBUM really is. I am a very active member of St.Charles and know of how our ministries work and who created the rules, therfore I can say that Eric is a CopyCat. He does not have a mind of his own. He has shown his jealousy in the interview that he gave to the press. What on earth possesed him to do that? What did it solve? If the first two anonymous accusers waited 20 years, and it was past the statue of limitations. Why would he come and copy them and his supposedly happened 30 years ago. He has no proof,no wittness,and he is a blatent liar. Don't get me wrong I do think that people who have been molested for their own reasons keep it to themselves somtimes for years and then tell. As far as the first 2 accusers, if you notice not many people are trying to judge them #1 they are anonymous and we don't know what they are exactley stating that he did. We still don't believe that they were molested by Monsignor Harris. But we have not called them names or been aggresive twards them just upset. But this Eric Crumley has made himself known by doing the things that he did and he just shows his true colors the way he has done them. How on Earth can this Man call himself a Pastor. What kind of pastor is he really? This is not the way a man of the cloth should conduct himself. He is a FRAUD! |

I know both Father Harris and Eric Crumbley. I attened St. Joe. When we were kids, Eric was a bully, and a 'know-it-all'. Father Harris was a well-respected man. I think that even if this is true ... Eric should have not have exposed Father Harris like this. He should have just moved on with life. This will destroy Father Harris career and his reputation in the community.

St. Charles Harlem -- it really sounds like YOU are the one who is jealous because you seem to have so, so very much to say about Pastor Crumbley. Once more, it is highly insensitive of you to put down an abuse victim. You act as if you have had no sin in your own life. It must be nice to be holier than thou. The Word says to judge not lest ye be judged, and you seem a little to comfortable in the judgment seat. So you are the one who needs to look out on judgment day. Pastor Crumbley has done a brave and courageous thing by speaking out and even admitting his past sins to his congregation. What have you done besides criticize and condemn? Who is he that condemeth? Who are YOU? What gives YOU the authority? You are just as lowly as you accuse Pastor Crumbley of being, so please get off your holy high horse and seek prayer and truth in this matter. You are not helping. All you are doing is spreading conflict. I pray for you, and yes, I STILL feel sorry for you.

Harlemboy, until you have walked in someone else's shoes or have been an abuse victim, not you or anyone else is qualified to judge what someone else should have done in any situation. I say this repsectfully as a former abuse victim of my late stepfather. People need to STOP and look in the mirror and PRAY! Take the plank out of your own eye before you dare to take the speck out of someone else's eye!

You know I am begining to believe right along with Harlem 2828. I think that you are one of the many alias of Eric Crumley posting on this board. You seem to quote the bible a lot. Did you know that the bible was written by man. Did you also know that it has many, many, many interpertations. Your supposed to absorb what you read not take it and run with it. You are taking it to a whole nother level. Instead of looking up scriptures to quote on the internet you should be looking into the real Eric Crumley. Oh that's right I forgot for a sec that he might just be you LOL. |

St. Charles Harlem, I promise you, I am not Pastor Crumbley. My name is Cherish DelJean, and I know the Bible because I read it every day and I believe it to be the inspired word of God. I will even be happy to share my real email address with you, which you are free to use if you're man or woman enough to reveal your own. Mine is DelJean@aol.com. It is clear you are a person who has no compassion or scruples for victims of sexual abuse who choose to tell the truth -- you are only interested in bringing down another fellow Christian. So "LOL" all you like. If you're such a stand-up person, reveal who YOU are and stop acting so holier than thou behind your cloak. I believe in standing up for what is right, not tearing people down as you are so intent on doing to Pastor Crumbley. As I said, look in the mirror and deal with your OWN sins.

St. Charles Harlem, correction on my email address (the first had a typo). It is DelJean2@aol.com.

It cracks me up how you so called "saved" folks are the first to condem the actions of others but not your own. You are as quick to defend your pastor as we are ours so how can you have a problem with that. We think your pastor is not being honest, you think our pastor is a molester. either way we are both guilty of sitting in judgement so you are no better that I. We will both have to answer to God for that when the time comes. I can admit it, can you? |

If a protestant stayed in a church were pedophiles and mafia were members in good standing they would be swine as well..
Here is the catholic depiction of John the baptist.. Dont tell me these evil beasts do not know this is gay porn. http://home.worldonline.dk/lfmat/followUp/gio... These filthy swarms of Locusts hate and despise every right way. They hate and despise the Lord Jesus Christ . They aid and abet pedophilia because they LOVE it . Every single one of them is a rabid dog.. a criminal .. PAYING pedophiles to rape children. It feels good to the wicked when you sneak into a closet and whisper your sex secrets to a pig more filthy and vicious than yourself. The only way the wrath of God could be removed from america is if every statue worshipping criminal in fellowship aiding and abetting the mafia and pedophiles were promptly expelled from this country and every one of their pedophile priests hung in the public square. The papist knows perfectly well what he is doing. He knows God commanded him to call no man Father, to not worship with statues... but he LOVES evil and soon he will reap the fruits of all his wicked doings upon this earth . These statue worshippers have been a curse since Genesis and they will continue to be so until that blessed day when the Lord opens hell and throws them all in. |

Cherish you better believe I am no fool.Why are your putting your email address on the internet. its a blog so that you could get things off your chest not so that you can be harrased this whole thing is starting to get stupid. I am not hiding either. I am just so tired of people who automatically believe even thou they dont know Monsignor Harris that he is guilty because somebody said 20 years ago this happend. It was upsetting the first go round. But for Pastor Crumbley to come behind them and state it happend to him 30 years ago is just so insane. Yes their are many abuse victims that are afraid to speak up. I aggree with everyone on that. But I find it hard to believe that Crumbley was a officer of the law for 15 years. He followed his so called abuser to a whole diffrent parish, had him baptize his children be it one or two, threaten to committ suiside but let his so call abuser save him from himself. Start a church of his own NON_denominational copy every single thing that he wittnessed in st.charles and then impliment them in his own church, Come to st.charles and act like he wanted to help and asked what could he do to help. Then 2 days later contact a PR person with a story that states he was abused 30 years ago. Im sorry but this is the crazyiest thing that I have ever heard. It's hard not to be angry with Eric Crumbley. I just do not see the purpose of the things that he has done. I don't understand how he can call himself a man of God.
I have sympathy for people who have been abused. I think that it is the worst crime on earth to abuse a child in any way espcially sexually. But in the same way I hate a liar just as much. I am not saying that everyone is lying but I am saying that at this point I don't think God could come down on this earth and make me believe the eric crumbley story. |
