Were Some Pastors Included on Ashley Madison List Who Did Not Register for Site?

Responding to a report that up to 400 pastors or church staff members could resign their positions because of accounts registered to the Ashley Madison site, one owner of a faith-based crisis firm says some of those on the list did not sign up for the service and he can prove it.

Hunter Frederick, president of Frederick & Associates, a crisis management firm, reached out to The Christian Post and claims he's had about 30 people attached to churches who contacted his firm concerning how to handle the scandal. According to Frederick, "several" of those that have contacted his office are not clients of the Ashley Madison adultery site though their names appear in the recently leaked data.

"The data does not match up for some of these pastors," Frederick declares, "we have access to the raw data and we can tell if their names do not match addresses or credit card info." Frederick says he received the raw data from journalists and admits to using the data to reach out to some church pastors and staff members to lend assistance for the purposes of reconciling them with the church and helping them get the rehabilitation they need.

Frederick told CP neither he nor his firm paid for any of the raw data, but received it through media contacts.

Frederick says that since the Ashley Madison site did not require verification of names to email addresses, anybody could potentially use any alias or somebody else's name. Reports already surfaced of people using the president's name, despite the fact that it is widely assumed and well-known that the multiple accounts claiming to be President Obama is not the actual president.

Frederick says there is still a discernment process for his company to verify if clients really accessed the site and if his company can confirm they did not, he can provide a copy to a church board or leadership that clears somebody who is falsely accused.

"If they don't legitimately have an account we can send a letter to show they did not have a verified account," he says. His firm deals too with those pastors and church leaders who do have sex or porn addictions and he says "we can help walk them through that."

When I was in Afghanistan, my email suddenly became flooded with girls wanting to date me. First, I was wondering where all those girls were when I was single! (Kidding, of course).

One of my joes had used my email address and pictures of me off of Facebook to sign up for some websites of that nature, as a "practical joke" on me. It took a while to get the emails filtered out.

I could see how some pastors may be "framed", and while I don't want to assume " guilty until proven innocent", each case needs to be examined individually.

I have a friend in ministry who was on this list. There is no reason to ever imagine him being part of this. He has a private firm investigating the whole and has been keeping a group of us updated as part of accountability.

From what he has shared, the site allowed anyone to sign up with whatever email address and credentials they wanted. There was no verification process like we use here on BB. In other words, you can sign up under one email and get full access without ever having an email sent to that address.

There is a flood of problems behind all of this. We are seeing the tip of the iceberg.
