Christian Newswire: Child molesters try to RELIVE THE PLEASURE of it all
I don't know that I have ever read such CRAP. :mad:

====



HUNTINGTON, Conn., Oct. 4 /Christian Newswire/ -- Stephen Bennett, a former homosexual man for 11 years is now married to his wife of 13 years. He is the birth father of the couple's two little children - a boy and a girl.

Bennett is the founder of a national organization - Stephen Bennett Ministries - helping homosexual men and women - and their families, including those who have suffered molestation as children.

Bennett, 43, offered the following comments today on the news that Rep. Foley was molested as a child:

"My heart breaks for this man who has been living a double life for all of these years due to homosexual molestation. We deal with situations like this every day here at SBM. What is sad to say, is many times the child who is molested by another individual of the same sex -- becomes the 'molester' later on in life. He or she tries to relive those sexual experiences, even as traumatic as the may have been, because of the pleasure. :wtf: When fantasy and pornography in their adult life no longer satisfies, these individuals feel the need to go for the real thing: children and teens."

Stephen continued, "Former Rep. Foley's story is so tragically typical - the molested can become the molester. Yes, there are those who can deal with the trauma and make it through. However, we have to stop worrying about being 'politically correct' in the media regarding homosexuality and finally deal with the truths and facts that homosexual molestation (and heterosexual) of children can and does produce future homosexual men and women. It robs children of their childhood and in many cases, destroys their lives. I've personally dealt with so many homosexual individuals whose lives have been ruined because of childhood molestation - but the great news is they don't have to be 'by-products' or victims of their childhood. These individuals can be 'victors' and not 'victims.' Change IS completely possible. For former Rep. Foley and so many others, there is help -- and there is HOPE."

Stephen is available to provide expert commentary on the Foley story in regard to homosexual molestation, as well as former NJ Governor McGreevey and share many other true accounts - even the story of a man molested who was jailed for molesting little boys, and hanged himself. He could no longer control his desires to molest boys and instead took his own life.

This asshole is suggesting that victims actually enjoy the experience? :puke:

Are adult rape victims having a good time, too ... or is it just the children? :grr: :grr: :grr:

3. A psychologist on Nancy Grace was saying the same thing.
Or something similar. She used a technical term for it, forgot what is was, but in essence it meant identifying with offender.

4. OK, "He is the birth father of the couple's two
children - a boy and a girl." Does this sound strange to anyone else? Um, weird.

5. Actually, he's right about one thing. Molestation often leads to sexual
Edited on Wed Oct-04-06 12:51 PM by Danieljay
addiction and compulsion issues later in life. Whether it's homosexual or heterosexual molestation however has NOTHING to do with it.

Most child molesters have been sexually abused as children themselves. It's not an excuse, but there is a correlation. Ask any psychotherapist dealing with the issue. Over 80% of those with sexual addiction and compulsion issues ( pornography, prostitution, voyeurism, infidelity due to intimacy disorders, etc. ) have been physically or sexually abused as children. Not all become child molesters themselves but there is often a correlation.

Now, that being said. I DON'T think being homosexual or heterosexual has ANYTHING to do with it. Molestation is molestation no matter WHO is committing it OR to whom. Most child molesters are self identified 'straight' white males.

I read somewhere that nearly 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men have been molested, often by a close or extended family member. I am constantly saddened by the number of women and some men I know personally that have been molested as children.

9. Correlation yes, but not because they are fondly remembering it
Also. He claims he is an "expert" in the field by way of being supposedly "ex-gay".

11. I can't say whether he is or not. Perhaps he was Bi and chose to marry
a woman and raise children and out of some religious guilt SAYS he used to be 'gay' when he was really bisexual.

I guess thats his perogative.

19. He probably was, like Freud and the Oedipal complex
Although Freud was not exactly wrong about that.

17. Stephen Bennett would know all about
living a "double life for all these years", seeing as how he's probably living one himself.

18. One thing that gets lost in here....
is the collusive force of religion in all this. Many people have gullt feelings surrounding isues of homosexuality and child molestation that religion tends to reinforce. Generally, the molested child will feel guilt, because they cannot comprehend that the one who molested them would break their trust, so it must be their fault. Perhaps the most psychologically damaging aspect is the inability to discuss one's sexuality openly in a Puritanically repressive society. Repressed feelings tend to get acted out in societally unnaceptable ways. The right fears unapologetic gays because those people have thrown off the shackles of guilt and repression that the religious control freaks have so long felt they had over society.

And, of course, people like this idiot, who are "cured" and "forgiven," become "experts" among the wingnuts, most of whom will label all other child molesters as incurable perverts who must be isolated and tracked for the good of society. This is the right wing double standard written LARGE. As usual, they gloss over actions by their own, while reviling anyone outside the fold. Their religious folderol is sacred, while real psychology is demonized as a tool of the devil.

BTW, has their been DNA testing to verify that he really is the biological father of those kids? ;)

21. IIRC Birthfather means he was present at the birth
It does not mean that he is genetically the parent.
