A growing group of men and women trying NORMALIZE pedophilia

I'd bet money on it.

There is quite a bit of talk amongst mental health professionals about Pedophilia being a sexual orientation that one is born with.  That is not to say that they are advocating letting pedophiles abuse children, but highlighting the fact that they will not be rehabilitated any more than one can “pray the gay away.”  

If one looks at pedophilia as incurable - which statistics bear out - it changes how one looks at prison sentences, registries, etc.  I just brought up that point on a recent thread regarding an article where the writer was talking about the damage sex offender registries causes for people who have “paid their time.”  

Viewing pedophilia as an orientation by people in mental health has not be to normalize it, any more than saying that schizophrenia, which has a large genetic component, is normal. Or any number of other mental illnesses that are inborn/genetic in nature.  Only when society is able to come to grips with the fact that we have not, to date, found a “cure” for pedophilia (and may never), will we be able to take the necessary steps to keep our children safe.  

It is something fake to fear-monger (she hears in Ron Howard's voice).

Just because someone decides to give something a name doesn't mean it's a movement or something new. These types of people have always been around. If celebrities and others are trying to normalize it, where are the sources citing their support? It's bullshit.


Besides, any hope of credibility flies out the window when posted in purple Comic Sans.

If that's the case, we need to have better ways to protect children beforehand. In other words, if they are born that way to find children attractive and cannot be cured, then they should be able to come forward BEFORE acting on it for help. But this thread demonstrates that just feeling that way is reprehensible, so I doubt many would admit they're wired wrong. But just like you can't pray away the gay, how would one seek help? Is there anything?

Your kid-friendly font isn't appropriate for the topic, BTW. Source? Facebook isn't a source.

"A New Jersey pastor who founded the Creation Festival, the largest Christian music gathering in the U.S., was sentenced to 18 years in prison for sexually abusing several young girls, including at least one who was just seven years old....

As part of a plea agreement earlier this year, Thomas acknowledged sexually assaulting a 9-year-old in 2005, having sexual contact with three girls ages 7 to 9 in 2000 and 2010 and exposing himself to a girl between 2008 and 2010."

"Sweeney, 75, is the first priest convicted as a result of the 40th Statewide Investigating Grand Jury, which recently concluded an investigation into sexually abusive priests and clergy in six of the state’s eight Catholic dioceses, including the Diocese of Greensburg.

…

The report, which remains under seal, is expected to be the most comprehensive look at clergy sex abuse in the world. The report identifies by name more than 300 priests who face credible accusations of child sex crimes."

Also not what the OP had in mind, I'm guessing.

Funny how there are examples of pedophilia ALL AROUND US and instances that have been GOING ON FOR DECADES. Yet the perpetrators are not in secret underground pizza lairs, nor in QAnons' sicko fantasies, but right in gymnast exam rooms and pulpits and wrestling and football locker rooms. Curious.

I sure am glad there's this handy thread to keep track of all the REAL people involved in pedophilia.


Local Pastor Arrested After Trying To Meet Teen For Sex

5newsonline.com/2018/08/07/local-pastor-arrested-for-trying-to-meet-teen-for-sex/

"A local pastor convicted in 2000 for possessing child pornography has been arrested for trying to meet who he thought was a 14-year-old boy for sex.

Timothy Lee Reddin, 67, was arrested Thursday (Aug. 3) in connection with attempted coercion and enticement of a minor, according to a complaint unsealed Monday (Aug. 6) in federal court.

Reddin, who served as a part-time pastor at Turner Street Baptist Church in Springdale, messaged an undercover Homeland Security Investigations agent in July about meeting to have sex."

Exactly.  So perhaps it's time to stop spending all that time and billions upon billions of dollars spent for centuries on tithing, churching, proselytizing, buildings, jets, etc. doesn't magically make them any more moral or righteous than anyone else.  IT MAKES THEM JUST THE SAME.
