UPDATE: 8/18/07 – “Apostle Griffith” pleads GUILTY

 I have reported about Gerald Griffith’s sexual abuse of children.  I talked about how he took those innocent children into his office to “counsel” them, but instead sodomized and/or raped and/or assaulted them. I even reported on one of the Apostle’s members who wrote to this blog, cursing me out. I actually only posted half of her vile letter—just enough to show everyone the level of filth his church produces.

The sexual abuse of male and female children went on for years.  In fact, the “Great Apostle” was so mentally ill, sick, and pompous that he had the gall to continue abusing children even after the accusations against him began. He was, in fact, so arrogant—believing his own hype and his church members’ delusion that he was God, that he obviously believed that he was above and beyond reproach.

Maryland citizens have been on pins and needles since June, awaiting the “Apostle’s” sentencing. The bible says that a man reaps what he sows and Gerald Griffith’s reaping has just begun, as not only did he receive FIFTEEN years for what he did to those trusting children in his Baltimore church, but in August, 2007, he has to go back to court for abusing FIVE more children—this group in Howard County!

Even in defeat, Griffith was too high minded to admit guilt. Instead, he sat there and cried like a little girl, while asking the judge to give him “house arrest” so that he could continue preaching. Huh?! Can you believe the nerve of that man? He sodomized, assaulted, raped, and threatened children. He told one little girl that telling on him was equal to telling on God and that she would die if she reported him. And for all the abuse of all those children, he wants house arrest?

Griffith also spoke, asking through tears and a cracking voice for a home incarceration that would allow him to continue preaching. He was largely inaudible from the gallery, where supporters cried as he talked.

“I’ve given my life to save other lives,” he said.

He looked at the victim. “I care for him, and I still do,” he said, as the younger man shook his head. BaltimoreSun

I believe that what Griffith truly is upset about is the fact that his reign of terror on young children has come to an end. No longer can he look parents in the eyes, tell them he will counsel their troubled children, take the children back in his office alone, and sexually assault them. It’s over. And not only is it over, there is more to come after this Howard County trial ends.

Well Apostle Griffith, the wheels of God do grind exceedingly slow—but it grinds for certain.
