“I sorrowfully acknowledge that seven years ago.... I was wickedly manipulated by treacherous former friends and colleagues who victimized me with the aid of a female confederate. They conspired to betray me into a sexual encounter at a time of great stress in my marital life.... I was set up as part of a scheme to co-opt me and obtain some advantage for themselves over me in connection with their hope for position in the ministry.” YearsPositionAdvantageFemaleYears AgoConnectionsStressSevenScaryAidsFormerAcknowledgeEncountersBetrayMinistrySchemesColleaguesSeven YearsTreacherousConfederateFormer Friends Author:Jim Bakker
