Please Refrain from Speculation
Healing process underway. Strong arm of Jesus has its work cut out. Smoking Gun re dead reverend’s rubber fetish:
OCTOBER 8–An Alabama minister who died in June of “accidental mechanical asphyxia” was found hogtied and wearing two complete wet suits, including a face mask, diving gloves and slippers, rubberized underwear, and a head mask, according to an autopsy report. Investigators determined that Rev. Gary Aldridge’s death was not caused by foul play and that the 51-year-old pastor of Montgomery’s Thorington Road Baptist Church was alone in his home at the time he died (while apparently in the midst of some autoerotic undertaking). While the Montgomery Advertiser, which first obtained the autopsy records, reported on Aldridge’s two wet suits, the family newspaper chose not to mention what police discovered inside the minister’s rubber briefs. Aldridge served as the church’s pastor for 16 years. Immediately following his death, church officials issued a press release asking community members to “please refrain from speculation” about what led to Aldridge’s demise, adding that, “we will begin the healing process under the strong arm of our Savior, Jesus Christ.” (5 pages)
Maybe it was a modern hairshirt variant. I wouldn’t advise clicking that ”what police discovered” link, however. I’ll just like to know, if this was autoeroticism and he was alone, how the heck he managed all that. OK, I don’t really want to know.

“The family newspaper chose not to mention what police discovered inside the minister’s rubber briefs.”
For this sort of activity, there needs to be a hole cut out in that part of the garment. It ain’t rocket science.
“We will begin the healing process under the strong arm of our Savior.”
I doubt His arm is as strong as the pastor’s was.
