Rather than giving any words of comfort he told the teen's mother that her daughter was in hell. This man is now a Circuit Counselor.<br /><br />I'll note that when a pastor in the same district committed suicide a few years later, nobody said he was in hell. Instead, the pastors quoted Luther's comments about suicide...not his fault, the devil caused it, etc.Timothy C.
