An Amish Mennonite pastor charged with helping a woman kidnap her daughter from her lesbian partner may have had help from a network of groups with roots in the Christian and missionary world including Jerry Falwell's Liberty University, according to court documents.

The pastor, Timothy Miller, was arrested last week in Alexandria, Va. A criminal complaint filed by the FBI in a federal court in Vermont alleges that the Amish Mennonite pastor aided in the "international parental kidnapping" of Isabella Miller Jenkins, the daughter of the former lesbian couple Lisa Miller and Janet Jenkins. Isabella is now 9.

Timothy Miller, who is no relation to Lisa Miller, appeared in court Monday and posted a $25,000 bond and is now in the custody of a friend.

Court documents claim that Timothy Miller, 34, left a computer trail that shows family members as well as friends and associates were discussing Lisa Miller's flight to Nicaragua on emails both before and after she disappeared nearly two years ago.

2. weird to think of the Amish involved.

4. yeah -- that jumped out at me too.

especially liberty uni -- isn't that unaffiliated evangelical?

i don't usually think of something like the amish and those guys having anything to do with each other.

6. strange, er, bedfellows indeed, but I'm really, really glad that

the FBI and U.S. attorney Tristam Coffin are pursuing this so strongly. I've heard that Coffin is a very good guy.

9. "Social issues" make for strange bedfellows

That's the point of "social issues". It's really harmed our entire country.

5. AND computers!

My world-view has crumbled!

3. There we go.

7. What did the partner they are helping promise?

I wonder what the partner they aided in kidnapping the child promised them? To marry a man? She had to have given them some piece of herself in order for them to help her. They do nothing without control. That's the ubber-Christian way. Control and own.

8. oh, I think it's enough for them just to keep the child away from Janet.

10. These are some sick fucks

Really, really sick.
