Iowa Rev. Brent Girouex had sex with boys to cure them of homosexual urges

Brent Girouex

Rev. Brent Girouex was a dedicated youth pastor at Victory Fellowship Ministries in Council Bluffs, Iowa. He was especially interested in helping the boys in his charge with their developing sexuality. And that included a very curious method of curbing their gay urges…

Last month, four parishioners came forward to say that Girouex had gone perv on them while they were minors. The worse case involved a boy who became intimate with the pastor beginning at age 14. Their relationship would last four years, during which they had sex 50-100 times.

Three other boys say they went to Girouex’s home to be “sexually purified.”

How did he accomplish this? By going perv on the kids, of course. In his confession to police, the reverend says he prayed for the kids while they had sex with him. “When they would ejaculate, they would be getting rid of the evil thoughts in their mind,” he told police.

Since the original four came forward, four other men have said they had sex with Girouex  while they were juveniles. The pervert pastor is now charged with 60 counts of suspicion of sexual exploitation by a counselor or therapist.

    The minister knows exactly what he was doin- he was satisfyin his fantasy:

    Can u believe his statement:
    the reverend says “he prayed for the kids while they had sex with him. “When they would ejaculate, they would be getting rid of the evil thoughts in their mind.”

    That’s a sick prick– castrate him.

    What is not surprising here is that the bible does prophesy about the increase of “false prophets” in the end times.

    When they would ejaculate, they would be getting rid of the evil thoughts in their mind?

    What about the actions leading to them actually ejaculating???? Some of these hypocrites who bestow the name of God unto themselves…. I don’t judge people but sometimes I have to sit and wonder what goes on through their minds… Now I’ll be following this case to analyze how the justice system responds the immoral actions of the reverend! :-|

    for god be the gorly man have found a new way of pleasing themselves, so men say that i was born this way to love a man i dont see myself having a women as my lover all these no sense, if the lord wanted a man to seelp with a man why did he not put adam and steve instead of adam and eve, so women that sleep with women think that they are better the men which sleep with men but its the same no matter how you look at it i pray for them all to see the wrong that they are doing i do hope that they will see the right way and change these nasty ways.

    Right on. Even though the church is run by perverts, probably from the pope on down, good people still have to follow God’s laws. So attend church and do good. Don’t pay any attention to or hang around the bugger clergy.

    Anytime you hear them preaching against homosexuality including some of the commentators here, it’s because they have their personal issues re their sexual urges & sexuality. The anti gay thing is a cover up for their guilt.

    Well well well, what a world we live in; it gets worse by the minute. This madness goes on in all walks of life.

    I am not going to talk about capital punishment again. I am not going to speak out against these things anymore because our people’s hearts are hard and they fail to reason.

    God says both in the bible and Islam to kill the homosexual – Man says this is against ‘human rights’

    God says the hand of the thief should be cut off – Man says this is barbaric

    God says to stone the adulterer – Man says these laws are old laws

    God says to flog the alcoholic and slanderer – Man says freedom to say as you please and advertise alcohol for ‘responsible drinking.’

    God says to kill the witch and every voodoo practitioner – Man says everyone has a right to freely practice their beliefs even the satanist.

    God says to kill the murderer – Man says send him to prison.

    God says to rule by His law – Man says democracy, socialism and other isms are the way to go.

    Jesus says to obey the commandments, the one who ignores the commandments will be called least in the kingdom of heaven – Man says Paul said to abolish the law.

    Man today has clearly gone against God in every aspect of his life.

    Enjoy papa, enjoy your homosexual friend Mr. Brent Girouex. Count me out, I finish talk! 8)

      i agree wit you that it is wrong, but no where in my bible has the lord told me to go kill homosexuals, so i not sure which copy of de bible you have, and at sunday school the pastor never sit there showing us the best way to kill a gay!! and if that de case half de arab world would have to die, as they practise homosexuality de most.

      this man should be punished to the higest degree but with in the eyes of the LAW, we are not above the law cos we catholic or muslium, or any other religion [even though the musliums think they are], he should be made to pay for his crimes against these poor boys and there families with a life rotting in jail, or if the state he has committed the crimes have the death penalty then it is down to a jury and a judge this mans fate, the crime is rape and sexual abuse, it is not that he is gay, there are lots of gay men in the world that do not commit these sort of crimes to people against there will

      o and my dear muslim if you could let me know where in my bible i might find it where we are asked to kill homosexuals i will apologise

        Here is your proof: If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.(Leviticus 20:13 KJV)

        Second, homosexuals exists everywhere in the world, the question is when they are found guilty what laws are applied to them in muslim countries? :-D

          Death is sometimes required by the Hebrew Scriptures as the punishment for ritual transgressions. These included the worshiping of other Gods, gathering sticks on the Sabbath (Numbers 15:32-36), improper eating of ritual offerings (Numbers 18:32), ineligible persons acting as priests (Num 3:10).

          Over the last few centuries, most Christians and Jews have rejected Leviticus 20:13. They no longer call on the death penalty for homosexuals. Only Christian Reconstructionists and a few Christian hate groups wish to revert to mass executions of gays and lesbians today.

          found this for ya xx 8-O

        • Muslim_Always
          March 29, 2011

          If most Christians and Jews have rejected Leviticus 20:13, on what basis did they reject the verse they are supposed to believe in? Isn’t that similiar to believing in some of the book not all? Can people pick and choose what to believe in and reject the rest?

          That is really true what Allah says in the Holy Quran 5:13-15: So for their breaking of the covenant We cursed them and made their hearts hardened. They distort words from their proper places and have forgotten a portion of that which they were reminded. And you will sill oserve deceit among them, except a few of them. But pardon them and overlook their misdeeds. Indeed, Allah loves the doers of good. And from those who say, ‘We are Christians’ we took their covenant; but they forgot a portion of that which they were reminded. So we caused among them animosity and hatred until the Day of Resurrection. And Allah is going to inform them about what they used to do. O People of the Scripture, there has come to you Our Messenger (Muhammad) making clear to you much of what you used to conceal of the scripture and overlooking much. There has come to you from Allah a ligh and a clear book.

          Also, capital punishments such as executing homosexuals is not for the citizen to do, this has to go through a court system, if found guilty then the law is applied.

      i am in agreement with you,is time we understand that these religious institutions are part and parcle of the education system that was put in place primerily, to keep the black people and others they were enslaving in check and in fare,along with other educational institution, which continue to keep us in line.However God is real, and God is in all of us,that is the reason why we have a mind when cultivated properly,is the strongest instrument of the human being. And we must always call on God frist and always, where ever we are, cause God is everywhere, and not rely on the so call fishers of men, who flashes their books of God, whatever name they call it.Nothing wrong in looking in these books for guidance, if one goes there with a spiritual mind, there is lots more one can find, than if one goes there with a religious mind.Trust in the lord and never give up. God is Good All the Time, Don’t put your trust in man .Manage yourself properly and you will forever be free.

    If these children were secure in an environment that understands that the world is not just made up of black and white, male or female, holy and sinful, but all the conditions inbetween; they would not have needed ‘counseling’ to purge them of their natural state of being. Until hypocracy stops being a substiute for truth, this is what will happen. Evil breeds evil.
