Oh look another "Christian" fucking children for god. Too harsh? Well if one reads the bile, it's incredibly easy to justify this sort of bullshit. We wonder why so many people continue to draw inspiration and guidance from it.
Oh you've never read that part! Shame, shame. You know the part, where Moses commanded the Israelites to keep the female children of their defeated enemies as spoils of war? Or my personal favorite the time two kids made fun of the prophet Elisha for being bald, so god sent some bears to kill them and forty other kids who I guess just happened to be nearby?
What is even more sickening, this wouldn't have happened without the willful indoctrination of the children by their parents. They should be convicted of child abuse for bringing their kids into contact with this monster. These girls can assign a lot of blame to their ignorant parents who bought that religious crap from a snake doctor. It is their poor judgement that abetted this predator.

Lindsay Tornambe was just 13 years old when she was chosen to be “sacrificed to God,” she remembers.
That announcement in July 2000 came from a minister who led an insular faith community that included her family in central Minnesota. As Tornambe sat in the congregation with her parents, she remembers the minister calling out a list of 10 girls for a position of honor. He would later call them “maidens.”
Soon, her parents dutifully dropped her off at his isolated camp, where what she now calls a nightmare of sexual abuse went on for about nine years.
Pine County authorities announced Tuesday that the minister, 52-year-old Victor A. Barnard, is now facing 59 counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct involving his chosen maidens.

Tornambe said she first met Barnard when she was 9. Living in Pennsylvania, her parents had been following his ministry and home schooling their children. The family visited Minnesota a lot, she said, and eventually moved to join the congregation near Finlayson when she was 11.
They lived and worked there and had little contact with the outside world, she said.
It became clear sometime after her name was called at the meeting with the congregation that her move to live with Barnard was intended to be permanent. “My parents dropped me off July 23, 2000,” Tornambe said. “Victor had us celebrate it every year, it was like our anniversary.”
Within about a month of the move, she said, Barnard talked to her about sex. He used terms she didn’t understand, and he grew angry about it, thinking she was lying about not understanding. She said he raped her for the first time then and continued sexually assaulting her over the course of nine years. The frequency varied from about once a month to about five times a month, she said.
“If I wasn’t being spiritual or following his orders, he wouldn’t have sex with us,” she said. “If we were doing well, it was almost like he rewarded us.” She rarely saw her parents, though they lived only about 5 miles away, she said.
