Pastor beats boy purple

• Christian Fundamentalism

Another pastor in trouble for beating a child. Remeber - Jesus is love.

Guerrero testified earlier that the beating lasted longer that an hour and that Joshua Thompson used two tree branches, forcing him to pick up the pieces of the first one when it disintegrated. He said Joshua Thompson told him the beating was to "get the devil out" of him.

Joshua Thompson said the boy appeared normal after the punishment was finished and that he saw no signs of injury. Jurors last week saw graphic photos with red and purple marks across most of the boy's back and blood splotches that appeared to come from scrapes and puncture wounds.

Guerrero's family members have said they did not give anyone outside the family permission to physically discipline they boy and that they called 911 after discovering his injuries

Although Joshua Thompson admitted striking the boy, defense attorneys have suggested the most serious injuries were caused by someone else.

Pastor says he hit boy at Bible study, but not 100 times

Followup: The pastor was sentenced to 26 years in prison.

A rapist gets less than ten years. 26 years is jail is too much. The damage would be terminal is these preachers really beat on the kid for that long. Sounds like some judical bias has crept into the system

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Pastor beats boy purple. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
