Saying all white people going
to hell is like saying all black
folk going to heaven. Who ap
pointed you God Rev Lowery?
No matter what color you are
there are good folk and bad
folk. I think you better re-think
that statement! rank: 46
After reading Rev. Lowery's
words, I cannot believe that a
church would condone such
hatred. Rev. Adolph Parsons,
we truly miss your leadership!

Dear Rev Lowery-With all due
respect, as a white man I think
I'll wait for my ultimate destina

not you. rank: 23
America is still a racist nation.
Simply because we elected a
black president has not
changed a thing. As long as
bigots teach their craft to their
children, nothing will change,

Is "Rev Lowery" trying to start
a riot? Who is he to say all
white people are going to hell?
Who died and made him God?
REALLY? rank: 18

Foreclosure proceedings
have begun on $13 mil
lion of Monroe County
property owned by the
corporation of a
Stockbridge banker who's
now serving 12 years in
federal prison.
Advertising has begun
this week in the Reporter
as State Bank & Trust
prepares to foreclose on
40-70-acre farm tracts
along the Butts-Monroe
county line that were
part of the Rose Hill
development. That prop
erty is owned by Butts
County Holdings LLC, a
corporation now dis
solved, but one that had
been registered to former
Stockbridge banker Mark
Conner. Owners had
planned in the mid-2000s
to convert the property
into a self-contained
Peachtree City-style resi
dential community until
the real estate bubble
popped in 2008.
Conner was sentenced
to 12 years in federal
prison in August after
being convicted of con
spiracy to defraud the
bank, hiding assets in the
Cayman Islands and
lying about it in his per
sonal bankruptcy case,
according to federal offi
cials.
Conner, 46, was former
ly the president of
FirstCity Bank of
Stockbridge.
U.S. District Court
Judge Steve Jones
banned Conner from the
banking industry for life,
and ordered him “to pay
restitution in the amount
of $19.5 million to the
Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation,
and victim banks.”
Conner, formerly of
Canton, Ga., and
Tallahassee, Fla., also
consented to forfeit $7
million. He agreed to for
feit $1.7 million in cash
and interests in multiple
pieces of property in
Georgia and Virginia,
added federal officials.
