I searched a bit and Baptist views on tattoos are mixed. I suppose in modern times, congregations need to be inclusive and accepting to keep their churches going. I know some old Baptist churches that might collapse in the mere presence of scorpion tattoos.
The tail gets blurry toward the end, I tried to count but wasn't willing to press my luck with the migraines. Could be 7 .... so not counting who, KR? Pure speculation.
I know some of those churches too.
They seemed so involved with that pastor and his family that maybe they were just friends especially due to the sons ages.
I wouldn't travel 4000 miles (in a car) to visit anyone much less go 3x in 10 years. The pastor and family visit Ohio too so why drive to Alaska. Plenty of fishing in the South. How much hunting did they do in Alaska if BW didn't know that the kids were in danger in the outdoor playhouses?
