The Rev. John F. Fiedler, a former minister at the nearly 15,000-member Highland Park United Methodist Church in Dallas, Texas, retired last month following an arrest for solicitation of prostitution at a massage parlor whose new owner was known by authorities for promoting prostitution, according to police and court records.
Fiedler, 72, had been a pastor at HPUMC from 2013 until his retirement on Dec. 31, 2024. Church records show Fiedler joined the megachurch in 2013, where he preached at the 11 a.m. sanctuary service until he was chosen to direct the Mark Craig Leadership Network to train servant leaders.

“The Mark Craig Leadership Network empowers servant leaders working in the church and in the public sector to integrate faith into their work. Through the Networkʼs two-track program, our goal is to expand spiritual influence by sending servant leaders into the community,” a document about the program explains.
From September to May, fellows in the program under Fiedler’s leadership honed their preaching skills as well as the finer points of pastoral care, church administration, and worship logistics.
Police records first cited by The Roys Report, said Fiedler, who is married with three adult children, was caught up in a prostitution bust carried out on Oct. 2, 2024, at Massage Ease located at 3400 E Hebron Parkway in Carrollton, Collin County. […]

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
Every mega church pastor and for profit preachers and their foundations need to be audited
Catholics…this is how it’s done. When you learn you have a demon in leadership, dragging the name of Christ in the mud, you throw that demon OUT. You know your pope is satanic and is falsely holding the seat of Peter. Why aren’t you fighting for your faith?
He came in 2013 and I’m betting the board of elders knew of his indiscretions and instead of firing him, did the typical…covered it up and moved him to position under less scrutiny. Hell will be hot for these miserable demons…including those who cover up for predators.
Vilify him for the rest of his life and let him explain it go God jehovah/Yahweh, at their after life meeting.
