old time religion Church Bus to HELL Jack Hyles Giant Transportation System.

Satan really has nothing on Dr. Jack Hyles, AKA Brother Hyles. If you are seeking sordid tales of Christians gone wrong, look no further. At one time the Brother ran the largest fraud organization in Hammond Indiana. Well, he ran the largest church and the largest Sunday school anyway. It appears Hyles invented a bus route to drag thousands of folks to church. The bus service had a fleet of 200 buses! Time Magazine reported Hyles was one of the first to develop the concept of the super church.

The real problem was sexual abuse. Let's check what our modern scripture (Wikipedia) says about Brother Hyles :

Accusations of improper sexual behavior, financial and emotional abuse are highlights to Hyles' legacy. In 1989, the The Bible Evangelist published a story titled "The Saddest Story We Ever Published", accusing Hyles of sexual scandals, financial misappropriation and doctrinal errors. He was accused of a decade long affair with his secretary, Jennie Nischik, who happened to be the wife of a church deacon, Victor Nischik.

Thus sullied. Hey kids, Get on Board the Soul Bus!

In this volume, one of over 25 books Hyles wrote and sold, "Communists" like Bob Dylan and the Lovin' Spoonful are perverting our children. Better to pick up his "Sex Education Booklet" for children instead. 25 cents.
