Rev. Juan Demetrius McFarland of Shiloh Missionary Baptist
Church in Montgomery, AL, has confessed to sleeping with a number of females in
the church knowing fully well he has AIDS.
McFarland confessed his HIV status to his congregation last
month. The church was very accepting of Rev. McFarland. But church members soon
realized McFarland had crossed the line when he admitted to other
transgressions.
“He fraudulently concealed from the congregation that he had
knowingly engaged in adultery in the church building with female members of
Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church while knowingly having AIDS,” said church
members who voted 80-1 to remove McFarland as pastor on Oct. 5.
The resolution also noted that McFarland fraudulently
withheld information that he had been engaging in the use of illegal drugs
while preaching and performing pastoral duties and withheld information from
church membership that he had misused church funds.
McFarland tested positive to HIV virus in 2003. His
condition advanced to AIDS in 2008.
Montgomery Police Sgt. Denise Barnes told NBC News no complaint has been filed against McFarland and he is not under investigation.
