Pastor had sex with teens to cure their homosexuality

A former youth pastor in Council Bluffs, Iowa, says he had sex with teenage boys because it was his pastoral duty “to help (the teen) with homosexual urges - praying while he had sexual contact with him.”

But law enforcement has a different view of his actions. Earlier this month, Brent Girouex, 31, was arrested on 60 counts of suspicion of sexual exploitation by a counselor or therapist, reported The Daily Nonpareil.

In February, Girouex told Council Bluffs police detectives that he had sexual contact with four young men starting in 2007 in order to help them gain “sexual purity in the eyes of God.”

But Pottawattamie County Attorney Matt Wilber told the Nonpareil that at least eight men have come forward with complaints that Girouex molested them.

1. This guy was praying to the wrong god
Ever notice how by changing one letter you can really get to the true meaning

praying : change the 'a' to 'e' = preying
all these years perhaps the word has been misspelled

2. Yeah, that's the ticket...
A similar thing happened in the church I attended as a teenager. The youth minister was caught in flagrante delicto with a 14 year old girl. From what I heard from friends of the girl, he told her that "god" wanted him to help her with her problem of shyness. They've all got a story, those teen molesters.

4. OMG. I'm just sick of this shit.
Sexual purity?

"“When they would ejaculate, they would be getting rid of the evil thoughts in their mind,” Girouex allegedly told detectives."
:puke:


DAMN these predators.
:mad:

6. I think he may have misinterpreted Proverbs 13:24
He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

8. Amazing the lies these people will tell themselves to enable their sick fantasies
I hope this man is locked up for a long, long time. Of course, I'm sure he will be cured in a month with some good prayer time. (Do I need the sarcasm thingy?)

12. They probably won't.
They'll say the victims "tempted" the "pastor".
