The Post reports that Orand recorded a conversation in which the rabbi urged her to have sex and participate in phone sex with his friends including an individual called “the Satmar guy.” He purportedly told the woman, who he called “darling” and “cutie pie,” that he “could role-play a rape…but I couldn’t actually rape you — you know what I’m saying, darling — does that make sense?”

On the recordings, the rabbi talks paying the woman money for a lawyer and a stipend of $1,300 per month, and discusses putting that agreement in writing. Orand told the Post she didn’t mean for the recordings to become public. “It was only supposed to go to a few leading rabbis.” She added in a written statement:

While an individual ‘rabbi’ acted in an inappropriate manner, my desire to become a bona fide Jew is undeterred. I remain inspired by the beauty and wholesomeness of authentic Judaism. One unhealthy person cannot and will not interfere with my quest to become a fully committed observant Jew. I want nothing more than to focus on my family at this time.

Orand’s conversion was supposed to be finalized last week, but a religious court apparently canceled it at the last minute. Tropper wouldn’t comment for the Post, but he resigned on Dec. 12 from Eternal Jewish Family, a Monsey-based organization he founded that tries to convert gentiles in interfaith marriages to Judaism.

David Dueppen wants his Epiphany....No seriously, that's the kid's name

In court documents filed this week in Miami-Dade family court, Dueppen said he wants majority custody of baby Marilyn Epiphany.

“He has never denied paternity for the child and he would like to be very involved in the child’s life,” his attorney, Raymon Rafool, said on Wednesday.

Rafool said Dueppen, 42, should have custody of the child at least 70 percent of the time.

The former stripper, Beatrice Hernandez, 42, came forward last month to claim that she had been Dueppen’s on-again, off-again girlfriend since meeting him at Porky’s strip club about seven years ago.

Dueppen joined the priesthood in 1999 and was last assigned to St. Maximilian Kolbe Church in Pembroke Pines. He took an indefinite leave of absence in August, after Hernandez reported the baby to the Archdiocese.

In court papers, Hernandez said Dueppen choked her during an argument over paternity and child support. Miami-Dade’s family court has issued a temporary restraining order.

Dueppen denied the domestic abuse allegations and is now looking for a job outside the priesthood, Rafool said.

Hernandez’s attorney, Michael Feiler, said Hernandez is “pleased Dueppen has acknowledged paternity” but wants sole custody of the child.

“Given the history between the parties and the allegations of violence, my client does not believe it is appropriate or healthy for him to be around the child,” Feiler said.

The device has a small pouch of blood that is punctured by the penis at the time of intercourse, and simulated the breaking of the hymen, reports say.

The website claims “No more worry about losing your virginity. With this product, you can have your first night back anytime.”

While many have said it is a strong social statement against hypocrites who state that women must remain pure while male sexual relations are ignored, Sheik Sayed Aska, member of the Muslim Brotherhood, said that it ‘encourages illicit sexual relations. Islamic culture forbids these relations except within the confines of marriage.’

The kit is significantly more simple and less expensive that hymen reconstructive surgery, which is commonly performed at secret clinics in the Middle East, where honor killings are more frequent than many would expect.

Store selling chametz on Pesach?

During Passover of last year, Yerushalmi entered a non-kosher supermarket chain store and stripped in protest of the store’s policy to continue selling leavened food during the holidays. Yerushalmi claimed that according to the verdict given by the court in Jerusalem, the supermarket was not declared a public domain for the sale of matzot, and therefore his acts did not take place in a public domain either.

MIAMI, FLORIDA – Stop us if you’ve heard this one.

So a priest goes into a strip club one day and tells a stripper she has demons in her and he was sent by God to help. He then takes her home, has sex with her and takes her to swingers clubs before impregnating the stripper.

After it all the priest says, “I think God gave me the wrong message. See ya.”

Unfortunately for a Miami woman, the joke was on her, and now she is going to court to flip the script.

Beatrice Hernandez spoke with the media Tuesday to tell her side of a twisted story that is sure to cast more dispersions on the Archdiocese of Miami, which is still reeling from the Alberto Cutié drama just a few months ago.

Hernandez claims Father David Dueppen had a long-standing affair with the ex-stripper that introduced her to the life of a swinger and nudist colonies. The two met at Porky’s on, of all days, a Sunday, in 2003.

The stripper and the priest lived together all while Dueppen continued to conduct mass and minister at St. Francis de Sales on Miami Beach, the same parish once manned by Cutié.

Her proof of the affair: a 9-month old daughter, which her attorney claims DNA evidence proves the priest is the father.

“He can wrap you up so good. He can speak to you so good,” said Hernandez, who is seeking a permanent restraining order against her unholy baby daddy. “He told me I had evil spirits and he was going to relieve me of those evil spirits.”

Officials for the Archdiocese have said they knew of Father Dueppen’s indiscretions in 2005 and paid Hernandez a settlement to keep quiet about the affair.

Dueppen was reprimanded and punished by going to spiritual counseling, similar to what Cutié allegedly was ordered to do after pictures leaked of him with his hands down his now-wife’s bikini.

At least Cutié decided to say to hell with the celibate life and left the Catholic Church. Dueppen, however, decided to keep the faith and was transferred from his parish in Miami Beach to Broward, according to CBS4.

But that didn’t stop him from going back to Hernandez and the couple eventually got pregnant. Hernandez also alleges Dueppen choked her and threatened to take the baby if she opened her mouth.

Now Hernandez is looking for child support, while Father Dueppen and the Archdiocese are looking for a miracle to make this scandal go away.

“It was like he was making fun of God,” Hernandez said. “This is about protection for my daughter.”

The two could square off in court on Thursday about the restraining order.

Coburn

Schwartz, a longtime conservative activist who has been with Oklahoma Republican for 15 years, first claimed that homosexuality is wrong because most 10-year-old boys have an innate hatred for it.

Then he began discoursing on the evils of pornography, echoing a friend who once told him that all porn was gay porn because it turned men “inwards.”

His conclusion: If you told 10-year-old boys that looking at naked pictures of women would make them gay, then they wouldn’t be buying Playboy.

“Pornography is a blight… It is a disaster. It is one of those silent diseases in our society that we haven’t been able to overcome very well. Now, I may be getting politically incorrect here. And it’s been a few years, but not that many, since I was closely associated with pre-adolescent boys, boys around 10 years of age. But it is my observation that boys of that age have less tolerance for homosexuality than just about any other class of people. They speak badly about homosexuality. And that’s because they don’t want to be that way. They don’t want to fall into it.”

Schwartz told the crowd about Jim Johnson, a friend of his who turned an old hotel into a hospice for gay men dying of AIDS. “One of the things he said to me,” said Schwartz, “that I think is an astonishingly insightful remark… he said ‘All pornography is homosexual pornography, because all pornography turns your sexual drive inwards.”

There were murmurs and gasps from the crowd. “Now, think about that,” said Schwartz. “And if you tell an 11-year-old boy about that, do you think he’s going to want to get a copy of Playboy? I’m pretty sure he’ll lose interest. That’s the last thing he wants! You know, that’s a good comment, it’s a good point, and it’s a good thing to teach young people.”

Soy Beans Make you Gay

Underneath many layers of paint, she found that … Priapus has an erect penis that’s, well, basically porn-star sized. The restoration team thinks that the peen was probably in the original work and that, years later, another artist covered it up after getting complaints from the Catholic Church.

An alternate theory is that, back in the day, artists would paint their subjects nude and then paint clothes on top so as to make them as realistic as possible. Who knows which theory is right, but if you happen to be in Brazil next week, go check out the unveiling of the restored painting at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo.

Hackers defaced a Facebook page by posting the message “If he dies can I have some of his stuff?” on a note that was asking people to pray for a sick relative .

The hackers stole login details and passwords from an unnamed Christian dating site and used them to break into Facebook accounts.

In one instance, they superimposed a target’s face on to a picture of a naked woman and published it on her Facebook page, pretending they had uploaded the wrong picture by mistake.

Posing as one devout Christian woman who had committed to no sex before marriage, they published a status update on her page thanking “Michael” for sex the night before.

To make it more believable, they then posted an update that it was actually intended to be a private message and had been published by mistake.

Status updates posted on other hacked Christians’ Facebook profiles included racist hate messages and messages pretending that the poster had contemplated suicide or had accidentally killed a homeless person.

The hackers also caused trouble between the users and their friends, writing on one user’s photo that their baby was “ugly” and on another woman’s photo that her teeth matched her skin.

One user posted a note asking people to pray for a sick relative, and the 4chan hackers, posing as one of their friends, wrote: “If he dies can I have some of his stuff?”

It’s not clear exactly how many users’ accounts were compromised. However, a blog called The Coffee Desk has published screenshots showing some of the hackers’ handywork.

The screenshots were published on the 4chan message board by the triumphant hackers.

It is believed that the hackers were able to break into the Facebook accounts because some users had the same password they used on the Christian website.

In other instances, the stolen login details allowed the hackers to access the targets’ email accounts and obtain passwords for a host of their online accounts from there, including PayPal and Amazon.

In July, just after the deaths of Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson, 4chan members were also responsible for widespread rumours that other celebrities including Jeff Goldblum, Britney Spears, Harrison Ford, Ellen DeGeneres, Miley Cyrus and P. Diddy had also died.

The rumours were so convincing that some news sites picked up the stories as genuine news. On of those who were duped was Richard Wilkins on Nine’s Today show, who reported that Goldblum had fallen off a cliff in New Zealand.

In October last year, Apple’s share price tanked after 4chan users spread a false report claiming chief executive office Steve Jobs had suffered a major heart attack.

The 4chan community was also responsible for hacking into Palin’s email account and publishing private messages on the web.

The site and its members are rarely held responsible for their actions because there is no search feature on the 4chan websites, and pages expire after a certain period of time.

Most of the comments are too graphic or obscene to republish here.

Want to meet Kali?

A cult of sorts is forming in the country, with their beliefs centered around the Godess, Radha. Apparently, men are dressing up and living as women to be more like Radha, the goddess lover of Krishna.

One of those men is retired railway worker from New Delhi. V K Saxena, 72, said:

“I can’t put it into words properly but I feel more holy dressed as a woman. The Lord told me he wanted me as his bride.”

When asked what he thought of the new practice of dressing in women’s clothing to be closer to God, Senior priest Mohammad Ahangar replied: “There are many ways to be closer to the Lord without trying to be his girlfriend.”

Bunny Annette Byington

How about the Lutheran pastor quit paying her and they consider their relationship an affair instead?

But it wouldn’t be long before Byington’s need for cash allegedly forced her to extort $7,000 from him in exchange for her concealing their escapades from his wife and church.

Now Ostgarden’s 19 years as a Lutheran clergyman in Valley City, N.D., have come to a quick end after he felt forced to tell police in Moorhead, Minn., about 46-year-old Byington’s extortion of money from him to keep quiet about their relationship.

He paid her the money in two installments this spring, slipping the cash under the door of Byington’s Moorhead apartment. On June 5, Byington said she wanted still more money. When the pastor said he couldn’t meet her demand, Byington made good on her threat and exposed the relationship to his wife and church.

She also sent the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America bishop a photo of the pastor on a bed wearing only his underwear and a T-shirt, according to charges filed against Byington last week in Clay County District Court.

Ostgarden, 52, resigned as associate pastor of Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Valley City, on June 5, the same day he called police about Byington.

“I know I’ve hurt a lot of friends and family,” Ostgarden said in a phone interview Tuesday.

Despite the sex scandal, he said, he hopes to someday again be a faith leader for a church. “If I am able to get the right counseling and help, that’s something I’d like to do,” said Ostgarden, who grew up in Moorhead and attended Luther Seminary in St. Paul.

The Rev. Randall Schlecht, senior pastor for Our Savior’s, said feelings among congregants at the 127-year-old church have “run from sadness to embarrassment to being stunned — all of those.”

Schlecht said he spoke with Ostgarden twice after word of the scandal surfaced, conveying that “he and his family are in our prayers.”

Hoping for forgiveness

According to the charges, Ostgarden first contacted Byington about three years ago by answering an ad for an exotic dancer. He began seeing her at her home in Fargo for dance shows. Eventually, the pastor started paying Byington for sex.

In March, Byington said she wanted him to stop paying her and hoped they could consider their relationship an affair.

But on May 14, she told the pastor that he had to give her $6,000 for her to stay silent. About two weeks later, she demanded another $3,000, but he persuaded her to accept $1,000.

Six days later, the pastor went to police to report the extortion.

Ostgarden said Tuesday that church money was “absolutely not” used for the alleged payments.

He said he now hopes for “privacy for a family as we heal and work through this.” Ostgarden and his wife have two adult children.

“With God’s help, we continue, we move on and ask for forgiveness and grace,” he said.
