Member of LBC where Austin pastored

This is a witness testimony from when Austin was pastoring Liberty Baptist Church in Cartersville, GA. It was found on the Survivors of Austin Gardner Facebook page in reference to allegations made against Austin Gardner.

"I was a member of Liberty and a teenager in the school. My first introduction to austin was on Benham Cir. Cartersville. That day Austin entered the house destructively and yelling, went up the stairs into a young lady's bedroom. I heard items banging around like someone being pushed, and yelling over and over it was her fault, he did not care, and she would get the procedure done. Soon after, I found out this young lady had an inappropriate relationship with an adult church member. Weeks later she was gone for about a month. When returning she was never the same happy go lucky person she once was.

While a member of the church there were four such incidents between adults and teenagers during Austin's tenure. Every time we were all assured, by Austin, it would be investigated and be made right. Weeks ago I was contacted to watch a video Survivors of Austin Gardner. WOW!! My first thought at the end was, at Liberty local authorities were never involved, the church never scrutinized them, and an independent investigation was never conducted. WHY? My conclusion is the four men we knew about must have known their was a fifth."
