He killed himself?

Outside of…you know…compiling the actual Bible itself. The Bible was first compiled in 382 at the Council of Rome. The biblical canon was later reaffirmed by two councils: Hippo, in 393, and Carthage, 397. It was then again reaffirmed at the Council of Florence in 1442. The Council of Trent definitively affirmed the canon in 1546, after the Reformation heretics.

The 1610 King James version, on which most of the current Protestant translations are based, was a complete new translation from the original Greek and Hebrew. It left out several books that are included in the Catholic Bible.

Like I said, Lutheran, Anglican, sure. Direct Catholics descendants. The other, more Evangelical sects pointedly disagree with the RCC on many if not most of its doctrine and were founded as complete rejections of Catholicism.

Really hate to see anyone feel like they have no alternative but to take their own life.

It is definitely unfortunate that he painted himself into a corner he saw no way out of.

It actually got much worse than what was posted in the OP.

These revelations of his outrageous, and possibly criminal, actions are more likely why he killed himself:

Recently uncovered information shows Smiths Station Mayor F.L. "Bubba" Copeland wrote erotic fiction about murdering a real-life local business owner to steal her life, as well as posting pictures of other locals with explicit commentary without their consent.

Copeland posted at least four pieces of fiction to a website over time. After 1819 News spoke with Copeland, the profile responsible for publishing the stories was deleted. However, former posts can still be viewed using online software.

In one short story, Copeland, who owns a local grocery store, wrote about watching women in-store security cameras and saving the videos for this "private collection."

In another long-form fictional story posted under Copeland's pseudonym, Brittini Blaire, the narrator becomes obsessed with a real-life local business owner, who he ultimately murders to assume her identity. For the sake of the woman's privacy, 1819 News has provided a copy of the fictional story with names and other identifying information redacted.

The story then goes into a graphic description of the narrator seducing the woman's husband after fully assuming his female identity. It concludes with the narrator assailing the woman on a cruise ship, taking her wedding and engagement rings, and finally throwing her to her death.

"This life is all I have ever wanted, and finally, it was all mine!" the author writes.

The character in the story is a real person, local to the area. Copeland's story names her and her local business in the fictional story.

Copeland frequently used pictures and details from local residents in his online life. On his Reddit page and elsewhere, he would often post fictional memes featuring young boys and girls with the illusion that the young people in the memes were one person who had undergone a gender transition.

One meme featured a local brother and sister, at least one of which is a minor, with the caption, "Take the shots, get implants, become the whore." The meme was designed to give the impression that the young boy had transitioned into a young girl.

The images are blocked out, but remember he used actual pictures of a local brother and sister to make this meme:

After the initial story ran, the father of the two children contacted 1819 News, asking the picture to be removed to protect the children's privacy. The image of the minor boy appears to have been taken from the father's social media, as it is currently featured there.

One featured picture is a meme, once again created with the illusion that the two people in the picture are one and the same, having undergone a gender change.

One woman contacted 1819 News saying she had discovered her social media postings on one such porn site. The woman, whose name is being withheld for privacy, said that she knew Copeland from when she was young and living in the area but had not seen him in years.

"[S]omeone came across one of his sites that he posts on, and he's posted photos of myself! Now my photos (from Facebook) are on all of these nude/porn sites," she said.

The fact he killed himself makes me wonder if more secrets are yet to be discovered.

---

I think that is a near certainty at this point. Killed himself because he was scared of what further scrutiny would uncover.

ETA: My in-laws attend church in Smiths Station. It just hit me that maybe I should see if any of my kids' pictures were used by this sicko...

Dude sounds like a major sicko.

No doubt. I wonder if there will still be people who defend him.

This goes far beyond being a "tranny," which he was not.

He was Mayor, local pastor, owner of a convenience store and married with children...

How in the hell did he have the time for this secret life?
They say, "an idle mind is the devil's workshop". Well, he proved that is false. His sick fetish aside, I'm impressed with his time management skills.
