RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT....

Posted on the website of Peachtree Corners Baptist Church, where John Mason and Jennifer Wilbanks attend (she's the bride-to-be who faked her kidnapping):

Many have inquired about the well-being of Jennifer Wilbanks and John Mason. Our church is attempting to support the couple as much as possible. We do want to state that we believe in the sanctity of marriage and that purity should be maintained until after the wedding.

It is our understanding that John and Jennifer have maintained purity in their relationship with each other and that their relationship is platonic. While we do not condone living together before marriage and we were not aware of this temporary housing arrangement, we are grateful for the above explanation of purity.

Please join our church family in prayer for this family. Our heartfelt thanks goes to all who have sacrificed time, prayed and sent encouragement to these families in their time of need.

Hahahaha. Gotta love cognitive dissonance. Hey, I've got a bridge I'm selling...

Found this over at LRC.

Update: I'm glad I copied the entire statement, because, as a sharp-eyed reader informed me, the church has replaced the statement with more benign one:

"Peachtree Corners Baptist Church continues to support John Mason and Jennifer Wilbanks. We want to be an encouragement to them in any way possible. We look forward to their returning to worship with us."
