FOX: A water baptism ceremony held near a lake turned into a horrific tragedy when the pastor was reportedly grabbed by a crocodile Sunday.
Pastor Docho Eshete was baptizing at least 80 members of his Protestant congregation at Lake Abaya, in southern Ethiopia, an area known to have a huge crocodile population, when one of the creatures leaped out of the water and grabbed him. more here
SNIP: Why do this in croc territory?
I think this is a recycled story. The last time around the Elders were looking for a new Pastor and they were offering the replacement the dead man’s clothing and sandals free as an incentive.
If he attacked an Ethiopian the croc was looking for a toothpick not a meal.
I’ll bet the crocodile was a Muzzly
Shoulda baptized the crocodile first. A converted Christian croc never woulda done such a thing.
Yes, we’ll gather at the river
The perilous, croc-infested river
Why do this in croc territory? Everywhere is croc territory. Crocs are protected species, unlike humans, who are expendable in the eyes of the animal rights activists. The locals are lectured on coexisting with the man eaters.
Do those doing the lecturing do anything useful like help the locals build a well? Fuck no. Crocs take people fetching water, washing laundry and the mere essentials of daily living.
Waaaade in the waaaater! Waaaade in the waaaater!
Should have declared it a ‘Crocodile Free’ zone.
The Preacher got baptized by a more southern baptist…
What do you call an Ethiopian with buck teeth? A rake. Rim shot.
Verily I say unto thee, lest you be baptized in the **CHOMP**

Jesus wept.
May that pastor rest in the loving arms of Abba.
There are three types of baptism, blood, water and desire.
Sadly he was re-baptised in the baptism of blood.
