An Ojai pastor who spent years posting online about children, education and LGBTQ-related issues has been arrested and charged with six felony child sex abuse offences.

David Johnson, 58, a former pastor at Live Oak Christian Fellowship, was arrested on 24 August 2026 and accused of abusing two children under the age of 14, according to the Ventura County District Attorney's Office. Johnson pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Ive learned that when prople seem to have a mental fixation on something, its usually because they have or will have inclinations to indulge in the same.

Both not a drag queen and a person you'd most suspect.

All churches should be 18+ only.

Pastor, pedophile, with an estranged wife. MAGA really appeals to a certain type.

If they have no shame about abusing children, do they at least have any shame being such a cliché?

When you take a kid to a drag show, they have fun and are safe.

The exact opposite of taking a kid to church.

Just once I'd like to meet a MAGA with self awareness. Nobel Prize to anyone that can devise a way to give these idiots self awareness and a microgram of empathy.

Conversely I grew up in a church that treated me better than my parents did. It's not religious institutions that is the problem. It's the people that flock to it and use it as a shield to hide behind. The fix is really simple though, don't isolate children. Don't allow one on one. Kids were always in groups with multiple adults acting as rotating chaperone in my upbringing.

If the police wanted to round up child molesters they could start by writing down all the LGBTQ-hating preachers in their jurisdiction, and use that as a suspect list.

they were taught through decades of right wing grifters(including faux news and talking heads) to not believe with your eyes or ears, or introspection only assumption vibes.

It reminds me of a tale I read as a child which goes like this:
Once there was a burglar and he has some members too in his gang and they would act like saints. The leader of that gang would walk on bricks of gold instead of bare earth. When asked, his followers would say that he does not want to impure earth by his sinful feet. King of the country heard their popularity and invited them to the royal feast. They did the same when came to meet the king. He was impressed by these "saints". The saints prayed for them and went away.
Later, in the night, those saints did burglary in the palace.

The people who are doing all the real child abusing have been blaming scapegoats for decades. It's time we stop letting them get away with it

Last I checked they hadn't updated it since march. I really hope they didn't abandon the project. If they did, someone Needs to resume
