This story is absolutely chilling. Look at pastor Tiffanie Irwin. Look at her face! Imagine if that face, filled with Biblical rage, were the last face you ever saw.
Tiffanie Irwin asked the Leonard family and some others to stay behind for a meeting after an eight-hour Sunday service. Over what he estimated was six or more hours, he said he was pummelled with fists and whipped with a 4-foot (1.2-metre), folded electrical cord on the back and elsewhere, suffering injuries to his torso and genitals.
Authorities said the meeting was called because Lucas Leonard had indicated he wanted to leave the church.
An eight-hour service? Jesus Christ. Irwin is not the only person to be charged—six other people were charged too, including Tiffanie's mom, Traci. The fatal “spiritual counselling” session occurred at Word of Life Church in Chadwicks, New York. The religious fanatics charged with these crimes have pleaded not guilty.
