Good Christians Practice Slavery?

A dozen leaders of a California-based ministry have been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges that they lured homeless people into forced labor with the false promise that they would be provided meals and shelter, prosecutors said this week.

Instead, the authorities said, they were imprisoned in group homes and coerced to forgo welfare benefits and panhandle up to nine hours a day, six days a week “for the financial benefit of the church leaders.
At this point, what's in the story are allegations, of course.

But if the allegations are proven in court, then the defendants should be put into cells and the doors welded.

The "Hare Krishna" sect and The "Moonies" were known for that stuff too, back in the 60s'.

FWIW, this was the fault line causing the schism that led to the creation of the Southern Baptist faith...as opposed to the original Baptist faith. Southern Baptists wanted to believe that good Christian Baptists could ah, ah, have slaves. Jesus wept.
"In 1995, on its 150th anniversary, the Southern Baptist Convention renounced its racist roots and passed a motion apologising for its historical defence of slavery, segregation, and white supremacy." "White" of them, as it's sometimes said. For the whole sorry story:
