Overly obvious wig man televangelist |
If you ever need a story to illustrate that fundamentalist Christianity is completely nuts, then this is it. You just couldn't make this shit up.
A US pastor is suing a US televangelist because he made him get a vasectomy at 18, got him to masturbate in front of him "to make sure he was ejaculating correctly", and was given multiple naked massages by the televangelist. All the while the man trusting the televangelist because he was a "man of god".
Honestly, there must surely have been a point where a normal man on the street sort of guy would have realised what was happening was wrong; specifically at the first order of getting sterilised at only bloody 18? What sane person would agree to that?
Miller also alleges that Angley, who is now 97, forced him "to undergo a vasectomy — to ensure that he was never able to have children" as a condition of his employment at Grace Cathedral in January 2004. Miller was 18 at the time.
At the time of his employment, Miller lived across the street from Angley. A few months into his employment, Miller invited Angley to his house because he wanted to ask the preacher questions about his upcoming marriage. Some of those questions were sexual in nature but Miller says he felt comfortable asking them "because he (Angley) was a man of God and a father figure to him."
During that conversation, Angley allegedly asked Miller to masturbate in front of him to "make sure he was ejaculating correctly."
"Plaintiff, a heterosexual male, was terrified and uncomfortable during the situation, but he reluctantly agreed because Angley was not only his boss, but more importantly was a man of God and he trusted him at that time," the lawsuit says.
Following the incident, Angley allegedly told Miller not to reveal what happened to anyone else.
Over the following years, Miller claims that Angley would "frequently" ask him about his sex life and his body.
He also alleges that he was invited to Angley's home for a "special annointing," where he was massaged by Angley while naked. That occurred "at least a dozen times."
While "physical assaults" ended in 2012, verbal harassment continued until Miller resigned in 2014, he claims. The Christian Post
