John Of God Arrested

[Cannon Bullrun]

I find your lack of faith and eagerness to judge unsavory. At the hands of John of God, I was personally cured of erectional dysfunction.

Explain that.

No thanks.

And Oprah - who some want to see as president of the US - uncritically promoted this deplorable character. Fortunately, it seems she isn't interested in running.

She's well meaning, but doesn't have the critical thinking ability of a gnat.

No, she doesn't.

Really? No one? Hands? Erectile dysfunction?

Fine.



Does that help? Smiley smiley.

Long time lurker, first time poster!

Anyway, i was reading some archived Swift newsletters (specifically February 18, 2005) and did teh Googlez on this *ahem* person.

Most recent update is that he's going to trial. From w w w.theguardian.com/world/2019/jan/09/brazil-faith-healer-joao-de-teixeira-de-faria-trial-rape-sex-abuse:

...On Wednesday, Rosângela Rodrigues dos Santos, a judge in Abadiânia, the small town in central Brazil where Faria’s spiritual center is located, accepted the charges brought against him by four women, and said he must face trial.

Good. Hope he gets prison.

In fact, I think it's a shame that he's just going to trial for sexual abuse. I'd like to see him charged with medical fraud as well.

If there's one thing I've learned from all the sex scandals of the last few years, not just the ones involving the churches, it's that the percentage of men who will eagerly abuse vulnerable women and children - if given the opportunity, and a reasonable certainty of getting away with it - is disgustingly high.

What is the percentage of men who eagerly abuse vulnerable women and children and how could you possibly know this or any of the highlighted?

A number greater than 0 is disgustingly high. We know it happens. So the original quote is correct.

Operation Yewtree and subsequent investigations revealed that six prominent entertainers, people I grew up watching on TV and listening to on the radio, were taking advantage of the opportunities and protection their fame gave them to abuse women and children. I would estimate that there were perhaps 30 entertainers of equal prominence at the time, so Jimmy Saville, Rolf Harris, Gary Glitter, Stuart Hall, Clement Freud and Jonathon King comprised about 20% of them. That seems a disgustingly high percentage to me.
