The evidence in the case revealed that Smith told investors he would eventually sell the bonds and they would get exponential returns on their investments. Following Smith’s fraudulent pitch, the investors were told to wire funds to Caldwell bank accounts. Caldwell, Smith and others divvied up the proceeds and Caldwell used approximately $900,000 to cover personal loans, mortgages and credit cards and pay other expenses. Smith spent his $1.08 million cut to pay off loans, buy two luxury sport utility vehicles and make a down payment on a vacation property.
I don’t think it is an irrational statement to say that any person who pleads guilty to this evidence shouldn’t be put in a major position of influence.
But it seems like you have your mind set that blind faith is actually ok sometimes. Which the alternative was the primary point I was trying to make.

So are the remaining people not turning a blind eye to the public documentation of his deceit because they have “faith” that he is the best person to lead them?

Court documents alleged Caldwell, using his position at Houston’s Windsor Village Church, and a financial advisor sold $3.5 million in worthless pre-revolutionary Chinese bonds to the elderly and other vulnerable investors.
This is why I put “blind” in bold. He was literally caught red handed defrauding the elderly. That is where the blindness of the congregation comes in. They choose to ignore the glaring breach of trust and allow him to retain his position of influence.

And, chat, this is why blind faith in anything is a bad thing.

Do what you enjoy. Yes people will judge. You would be hard pressed to find a whimsical passtime that people do not judge. What matters is if you are living your life how you want to.
I also guarantee you will make somebody’s day.
As long as you can communicate appropriately for the situation (I.E. an emergency, to perform your job adequately, or for serious discussions) I don’t think it matters in the long run what others think.

TLDR: Actually good news, they are going to implement the asbestos ban and not spend years rewriting it.
