Meet Bishop Larry Trotter, of Chicago, Illinois.
This very popular pastor of the 8,000(+) member, Sweet Holy Spirit Church, also in Chicago, Illinois, has come under fire for a picture that the pastor uploaded to Instagram’s social network.
The picture featured the pastor and his 4 year-old granddaughter…
Sharing a bubble bath…
Once the picture was uploaded…
The storm began…
Very few people showed the pastor any support after the picture was posted.
The response the pastor received was knee-jerked shock.
He was called child molester, pedophile, rapist, literally every disparaging name under the son…except ‘a man of God’…
With so many churches steeped in sexual deviancy, many were quick to ridicule the pastor.
After such strong public outcry from the picture, the pastor (or someone in his camp) quickly removed the picture from the social site…But not before Obnoxious TV snatched and reposted it.
Next it was featured on the Facebook account of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad Teachings Testimonial Page on Wednesday night, with the caption:
‘NO SIR BISHOP TROTTER!!! No man should ever ever ever take a bath with a female in his family or friends. That’s only for a man and his WIFE! This is totally inappropriate behavior!’
Facebook and Twitter users went further, describing the photo as ‘disgusting’, ‘sick’, and suggesting that child protection authorities should get involved.
Trotter claimed to have 1,200 hate mails on his personal Facebook page.
Trotter called into the John Hannah Morning Show Thursday morning, to explain himself and explain how the previous days had been dark ones for his family.
The bishop told the radio show hosts that his granddaughter and her parents had been visiting, and he was taking a bubble bath, wearing swimming trunks, when the four-year-old wandered into the bathroom.
When the girl, also wearing trunks, asked if she should get into the bath, her mother placed her in the tub for a few minutes and snapped the family photo.
Trotter explains that another family member with access to his Instagram account posted the picture online, where the scandal immediately flared.
He is hoping that the storm will past soon.

First things first.
In my opinion, it’s absolutely wrong for any man to bathe with a little girl ~ of ANY age, unless the girl/female is his significant other or wife.
Second.
Who in the hell do this ‘Bishop’ think he’s fooling?
When was the last time YOU took a bubble bath…In swim trunks…In your own home?
Third.
Are there swim trunks made for little girls?
Fourth.
A man in a BUBBLE bath?
WTH is going on here?
I could give this preacher the benefit of the doubt…But my Spidey senses are tingling on this one…
But I’ll ask you:
