By: Fredric Rice Re: Christian Dating Service I heard today that Ted "Yawn-so" (I've spelled it the way it sounds; I heard it on the radio) killed himself on the 30'th of December. He's the Christian who was accused of 38 counts of child sexual molestation and rape over the course of some 28 years and 5 different churches. His masters had known he was a pedophile and yet they did nothing but send him to "counciling" afterwhich he was reinstated at another church and given access to more children. After the 38 counts were tossed out due to statute of limitations, there remained six civil cases to be held. During this time the guy was shipped to a Washington, DC neighborhood -- a family neighborhood, I might add -- by his masters where he took up a job in a book store. KFI AM 640 Los Angeles talk radio with "Ken and Bob" covered this guy and the epidemic problem of Christian masters rapeing and sexually mollesting children. The fact that the Christian higher-ups do little to solve the problem was questioned. One of the people who came onto the show was the mother of one of the victims of this Ted guy. She had, at the time, not paid much attention to the accusations her son had made when he was being mollested by this Christian master; she didn't ask her son for the details and simply places a complaint with her priesthood which assured her that the issue would be looked into. After Ted made the newspapers she was shocked to realize that her son was probably subjected to a great deal more than she thought. She mentioned that she hadn't bothered to check back with her priesthood to see if the problem was taken care of because she trusted her priesthood and thought that it would have been taken care of. She later learned that her priesthood had taken her complaint and those of several others and simply shipped Ted off to another church rather than (as any NORMAL person would have) shot the bastard or taken him to jail -- the moral and right thing to do. On the 30'th of December the guy killed himself and in a letter demanded he was innocent (never mind the fact that he had previously confessed to his priesthood repeatedly and was shipped from place to place because of his "problem.") One called tried to pretend that the Christian religion wasn't the problem; that there are bound to be a few bad apples in any profession and that this type of thing was aborational. The talk show hosts wouldn't let that claim lie without being challanged and pointed out that _by_profession_ the Christian priesthood is a heaven for this kind of thing and that _possibly_ peple join the Christian priesthood because they harbor pedophile feelings and hope that the temptation to rape children will be stopped by taking a vow of non- sexuality. Over all the show covered all the bases of Christian masters using their posistions of mock authority to violate everything the rest of us hold moral and right while also underscoreing again and again the fact that Christian leaders do little to nothing to solve the problem, in effect making the Christian priesthood a dating service for pedophiles. --- * Origin: Xians aren't forgiven 'til their victims forgive them (1:218/890)
