Editor's note: The 40th paragraph of this article was edited at 7 p.m. on May 14th, after editors' review of a video recording, to more accurately describe a reporter's exchange with the pastor. Video review of the exchange revealed that Pastor Philip Derber approached the reporter and pointed to her press pass but did not appear to touch it. The reporter was seated during the exchange and did not take a step back from the pastor. We apologize for the inaccurate description.
With a federal court order on its side, Faith Victory Church World Distribution Center opened its doors for a worship service Sunday morning.
Hats off to Jordan Hensley (and The State Journal) for pursuing this story.
And re Senior Pastor Dr. Derber and his reported exclamation of “You don’t vote for a baby killer!”, suffice it to say that the Coronavirus pandemic has laid bare the hypocrisy of so many who purport to be pro-life when it comes to forcing women to carry all fetuses to term...but are shockingly not pro-life when it comes to their glib ease at risking the very lives of innocent people that social distancing would otherwise protect.
Jordan found her a humdinger of a cult leader, right here in little ole’ Frankfort.
I’ve heard of Derber, he likes fancy cars , expensive suits and his country club house.
They call what he has Traumatizing Narcissism, he swindles , deceives and controls his cult ,( he likely grew up in that life style) his high demand group fanatically embrace’s his ideology dictated by this cult leader. He’s trying to avoid public attention by not speaking to the SJ because he knows he’s a scam . The pandemic has put a kink in his $$$ gravy train from his Koolaid drinking followers.
State-Journal.com’s comments forum is for civil, constructive dialogue about news topics in our community, state, nation and world. We emphasize “civil” at a time when Americans, in the words of the current president, need to “turn down the temperature” of political debates. The State Journal will do its part by more carefully policing this forum. Here are some rules that all commenters must agree to follow:
Absolutely no attacks on other commenters, on guest columnists or on authors of letters to the editor. Our print and online opinion pages are sacred marketplaces of ideas where diverse viewpoints are welcome without fear of retribution. You may constructively critique the ideas and opinions of others, but name-calling, stereotyping and similar attacks are strictly prohibited.
Leeway will be given for criticism of elected officials and other public figures, but civility is essential. If you focus your criticism on ideas, opinions and viewpoints, you will be less likely to run afoul of our commenting rules.
Keep comments focused on the article or commentary in question. Don’t use an article about the Frankfort City Commission, for example, to rant about national politics.
Hyperpartisanship that suggests anyone on the other side of an issue or anyone in a particular particular party is evil is not welcome. If you believe that all Democrats are socialists intent on destroying America or that all Republicans are racists, there are lots of places on the internet for you to espouse those views. State-Journal.com is not one.
No sophomoric banter. This isn’t a third-grade classroom but rather a place for serious consumers of news to offer their reactions and opinions on news stories and published commentary.
No consumer complaints about individual businesses. If you’ve had a bad experience with a private business or organization, contact the Better Business Bureau or the government agency that regulates that business. If you believe the actions of a private business are newsworthy, contact us at news@state-journal.com and we will consider whether news coverage is merited.
Absolutely no jokes or comments about a person’s physical appearance.
No promotion of commercial goods or services. Our outstanding staff of marketing consultants stands ready to help businesses with effective advertising solutions.
If you state facts that have not been previously reported by The State Journal, be sure to include the source of your information.
No attacks on State Journal staff members or contributing writers. We welcome questions about, and criticism of, our news stories and commentary but not of the writers who work tirelessly to keep their community informed. Corrections of inaccurate information in news stories should be sent to news@state-journal.com rather than posted in the comments section.

We see y'all. Clearly.
