A New Jersey minister accused of sexually assaulting his parishioners has launched a creative defense: he claims he was sucking demons out of them by performing fellatio.
69-year-old Rev. Dr. William Weaver faces a lawsuit by four former parishioners–three men, one woman–who claim that the Presbyterian minister sexually assaulted them when they came to him for spiritual counseling. Documents obtained by Newsweek reveal that during counseling sessions Weaver asked the three men to strip naked and lay down. He would then place an angel coin on their heads, as well as sacred stones on their hands and ankles, before performing oral sex on them.
Weaver allegedly told his victims that he needed to “suck” the demons out through their semen and that the ritual had come from Native American lore. At least one victim also reported Weaver kissing him on the mouth during the “ceremony.”

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“I refuse to stay silent any longer,” accuser AJ Meeker wrote in his statement. “I need to make sure that this never happens to anyone else ever again.”
Weaver served 39 years as minister at Linden Presbyterian Church. A subsequent investigation by the Presbytery has already found ample evidence of misconduct, enough so that it removed Weaver from his post at Linden and relocated him to a retirement community. Church officials also revealed that investigators also found gay porn on Weaver’s church computer.
The lawsuit filed by the four former parishioners remains pending. Church officials have said they will continue the investigation, and suspect Weaver has more victims that will come forward.

Uuummm….I don’t understand what the problem is? The man is doing gods work and performing community service at the same time. Jesus..people are so ungrateful. Pastor..you may suck the demons from me anyday. Mmmkkkaayyy….

I was going to say close to the same thing except that I would happily serve as his replacement/partner on our knees. ?
Michael007
I’m with you both on this. I’m ready to go have the gay sucked out of me!
stvrsnbrgr
How noble of you, Michael007. But don’t worry — you can’t spray away the gay. 😉

All I can think of in connection with this is …. Exorcist 2 “coming” soon in your local XXX cinema!

Totally Agree, David! Works for me!
Koko12
I think it’s possible. God Works the mysterious ways.

I think it’s possible.

Seems to me that if you let someone blow you to orgasm that would negate the sexual assault part.
I’m just shocked that they were actual adults.
patricklee5150
I know, right.
mystrallan
Well, he’s not Catholic.
Michael007
I’ve often said that when a man lays still and allows another man to ‘work on’ his privates and does not jump up and run away or slug him, then he is a willing and consenting partner.
Tosco
I’m with you

They were all people in serious psychological distress after horrible experiences (one had just watched a child die and another had experienced a nervous breakdown) who he manipulated into believing that their psychological problems were caused by demons. He may not have broken the law (which is why he isn’t in jail) but he’s definitely a predatory shit who shouldn’t be in a position to do anything like this ever again. He also deserves to have his name plastered all over the internet as it is being now.
Koko12
Anything is possible. And I do believe, things happen. I hope He did get the Demons out of those poor,suffering Men.

It’s why Mike Pence is so pure…

OH, I was having a fun time then RIGay mentions Mike Pence. OMG, that man scares me. I hope Trump finishes his term, and then is indicted. Trump is an oaf, but Pence is scary crazy! (sorry not a dig at you RIGay)

these people can be parents and vote?

Religious people are brainwashed. They will go along with anything.

I’m starting to wonder if the Catholic Priest that told me that I was guaranteed a ticket into the pearly gates if I swallowed was just putting me on…………..
patricklee5150
No, that’s actually true.

Haven’t YOU read Scripture? “Heavy is the load I place unto Thee and must bare”

Why you just try, my Child?
randile
Does he do house calls?
Kangol2
Why use the stock photo? This hypocrite’s face appears in many of the original news articles. Also, why didn’t he just go hook up with people without the religious shenanigans, or was this one of his fetishes? He was a Presbyterian minister, not a Catholic priest, so he didn’t take a vow of celibacy, and there are many sex venues in and around New York and New Jersey. On second thought, he was probably patronizing those too.
kevininbuffalo
Some Presbyterian clergy do wear the collar but they are Reformed Protestants, they don’t pray the rosary.
bivector
The stock photo is obviously to make this seem more like a porn fantasy, and judging from the comments here it worked.
GayEGO
Oh my! What an excuse! How about the woman, did he such the eggs out of her?
Brian
Ok, I can’t even be mad at this. If you can come up with a reason like this, and find adults who willingly let you do it to them, more power to you.
Michael007
Right, Brian!
Tosco
Fully agree
bivector
Even more power to the folks who successfully took his job and reputation, exposed his face on the internet, and hopefully sue the daylights out of him and anyone who protected him.
Doug
Totally. Most people would have known something funny was going on when he first asked them to strip. If they managed to reach an orgasm while he was blowing them, they must have been enjoying something about it.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Did he spit or swallow the demons?
Michael007
Haaaaa! I was thinking the same thing! If he swallowed all those demons he will be able to blow fire onto the police if and when they come to get him.
paul dorian lord fredine
i guess he’ll claim the power of christ cum-pelled him.

So many glib, flippant remarks on this… Yes, it’s absurd, but it’s also, believe it or not, one of the more common seduction techniques used by priests, typically on young, under-age boys. The “suck the demons out” ploy came up often during the recent Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. And it’s a ploy that’s been used by priests from Ireland to the Philippines. I guess they shared techniques that got results. It’s not really funny when you consider how many boys were assaulted and raped as a result.
jayceecook
These were adults not children. They were able to consent. If an adult is told by anybody, religious leaders or not, that they can suck demons from your pee pee hole while they place a coin on your head and rocks on your hands and feet and don’t walk away but run, they deserve every glib and flippant remark people can muster.
These people were told in advance what he was going to do. Unless these people were mentally disabled or had a diminished mental capacity from drugs/alcohol then consent was given the second they laid down. This is nothing comparable to the heinous sexual abuse by various priests, pastors, Reverends, deacons, etc.
bivector
Drugs aren’t the only way to have diminished capacity. These people were in serious psychological crises when they came to him.
edfu
Queerty, why are you using a photo of a Roman collar, which is worn by Roman Catholic priests??? Presbyterian ministers don’t wear them.
Josh447
Bullseye
Michael007
I thought the same thing. The Catholic Church has taken a lot of rap with the sexual violations. They don’t need to unfairly have more insult put upon them.
ingyaom
Actually, if you look up the news stories, the rev. doctor is shown wearing the “Roman collar” in the accompanying photos, so I guess the Prebs wear them, too.
Diplomat-G
@edfu,
Well, actually they do…..
OzJosh
Catholic priests used this ploy too. It’s well documented.
bivector
They wanted a photo that looked more like a porn scene than an old rapist.
nm4047
Presbyterian ministers do wear a collar but they don’t use the rosaries
mz.sam
What does he look like?…need proof. Queerity need to EXPOSE THE OLD FART!
Gary Q VV
Disagree. He’s obviously quite mentally ill and is in need of psychiatric medication and psychological counseling.
lovethyneighbor
I am laughing my ass over this article. I guess this is why many gay men and women perform oral sex. I’m wondering if the guy went further because demons are usually stuck up the ass. I would type more, but I can stop laughing because this has one of the most insane and absurd excuses. God help us all.
zunelander
Indeed. It’s very ridiculous.
Yardieman
Ha, ha, haha, ha
masterwill7
Indeed, I have never read anything this stupid! Hahahaha People truly lay down and let this priest do this to them!!! These idiots should be sued for slander or something, who in his/her right mind would let this happen to them if they didn’t want it? They just had remorse afterwards, but it doesn’t mean they didn’t consent…
zunelander

Eugene Boy
I enjoy this publication but I found this article offensive. I’m a cradle Catholic and and continue to participate in my faith. I’m not the humor in it that others are. Perhaps Queerty needs to focus on more creative topics
OzJosh
Or perhaps you need to be more aware of the centuries of sexual assault committed by the Catholic Church under the cover of their religion. In Australia we’ve just had an extensive Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. The Catholic Church was the worst offender by a huge margin; none of the other institutions even came close to the numbers of abusers within the Catholic Church, or the extent of known abuse within Catholic orders, or the obscene way the Catholic hierarchy covered up abuse, generally enabling known abusers to continue offending for decades. There are a number of cases in which entire orders virtually existed for the purpose of sexually abusing children, with every single member of the order culpable. And when they were finally exposed the church hierarchy – which had known what was going on for decades – dissolved the order and disposed of financial assets specifically so victims would not be able to claim compensation. Utterly despicable. Anyone who still supports a Church that would do such a thing is supporting one of the most evil institutions in human history.
radiooutmike
I can appreciate your bond to your faith.
But there are a number of churches that would be happy to have you as a parishioner. If you crave the Catholic Mass, I’d suggest an Episcopalian/Anglican church. A Universalist Unitarian Church are great too.
Yardieman
You don’t see the humor that a 69 year closet idiot tricked four grown ass bigger idiots into sucking them off…..seriously you really don’t see the humor?
Gary Q VV
Crazy is as crazy does. Thinking along the lines of this demon slurping dude, one should consider from where those demons preside? Now, I don’t believe that demonic entities operate from the prostatic gland. Rather, they most likely are in the brain, therefore his point of entry should’ve been through the nasal passages, and although there’s a bone-plate protecting the brain his modus should’ve been sucking these men’s noses as this would’ve been a good symbolic path. As previously stated, crazy is as crazy does.
CurtisIsTheOne
It is well known that during the “Middle Ages”, in Wales and parts of Ireland, there were traveling “preachers” whose job it was was to suck demons out of young men. They did this by fellating young men to orgasm and swallowing their seed. This was often, but not always, done before a village boy was to be married. The idea was to purge all the “devils” so that what came from their loins was pure and capable of producing “good and pure” children. It is also known that occasionally a young lad would pretend to be engaged over and over to be married to avail himself of the “purging ceremony”. Those who kept coming back over and over were said to be in Purgatory and that is how the place known as Purgatory came to be.
jayceecook
That is not how purgatory came to be. But cute story.
Yardieman
Admit it …you just made this up, lol?
CurtisIsTheOne
Oh, c’mon YEE of little faith and huge loads? Doubt me if thy wish, but please don’t destroy my career as a “traveling preacher” whose only aim is to purge demons from thy loins. Be gone, thou seed of demons! I swallow you and your kind. Several times, if need there be.
Al
All this time I’ve been an exorcist and I didn’t know it!
Little Pooky
Did he swallow?
LilMesican
Swallow for God??? ?
MikalC
This man was just wrong
Norm
Wrong? No, he was right. I felt pretty good after I had my demons sucked out of me. I felt purged. Thank you for purging me father.
trsxyz
You’ve got to hand it to his guy… It’s pretty creative thinking, “Suck the demons out” LOL!
blackhook
lol, in the 21st century, who is DUMB enough to $upport the Christian Babushka of Bullshit™ & its medieval voodoo, superstitions & fairy tales…not to mention, molesting priests & pastors that just get shuffled around to ‘retirement communities.’ [“How many times do I gotta tell ya…IT’S NOT A NURSING HOME, IT’S A RETIREMENT COMMUNITY!”

wikidBSTN
Why a picture of a Catholic priest when this is about a Presbyterian minister?
bivector
Queerty wanted an image that made the sexual assault seem sexier, so they used the first young model in a priest’s robe they could find.
Jim
I’m assuming Evangelicals are in full support of this man. And his constitutional right to practice he’s sincerely held religious beliefs.
Heywood Jablowme
The great thing about demons is that no matter good you get at sucking them out, there’s always another big load of demons in another day or so!
southernscot
So about this Native American ritual lore thing, where is my nearest……
radiooutmike
Yeah, he sucked out about 300 million little ones!
bivector
I swear sometime us gays are bigger sex assault apologists than straight men. These were all people having serious psychological crises–watching the drowning death of his girlfriend’s child in one case and experiencing a nervous breakdown in another. They were manipulated into believing that their psychological problems were caused by demons. Also, Queerty is pulling a fast one on you with the photo they picked.
rickywintour
Well then that just goes to show how detrimental religion is to people. But still I don’t know how much psychological stress you have to be in to endure fellatio until ejaculation lol.
SinthiaDoom
I got to the end of the article where it said prisoners and scroll back to the top to confirm that they actually meant parishioners lol confused me for a second. And indeed if grown ass men fell for that, regardless of their trauma well they knew what was up.

Well, I’ll say that he was more inventive than my parish priest was. Good ole Father Haggarty caught me in church during lunch saying the stations of the cross, and told me to come over to his house so he could wash away my sins in his bathtub at the rectory and I was to also clean the tub as well for penance. After I was nice and soapy he took his cross and blessed my body by touching the cross to various body parts until he discovered my penis was filled with the blood of Satan. Well you know there is only one way to get rid of Satan and that was to suck satan out of me as he explained it was like sucking the venom out when a snake bit you. As it turns out Satan was also parked just inside my rectum as well. I said he was tickling me and he said that is satan touching me inside my soul and that it would soon start feeling good. He found Satan with his tongue as he was very thorough and quite the expert. After he was finished exorcising the devil out of me, he blessed me again with holy water and told me to dress and go back to class. He also told me that this was to be kept between him Jesus and me or the devil would surely invade me again, and to say an Act Of Contrition, three Hail Mary’s and one Our Father. I must have talked in my sleep because he found Satan again two weeks later. I can now report no sign of Satan. Father Haggarty has long since gone to his reward. Yes he did get away with it as I was young (11) and naive. I was ashamed that Satan had entered my soul and was willing to do anything to make him go away. I was devout at that time and believed a priest would only do what was good for me, and suppressed it deep inside me. and didn’t fully recall the details until I was in my twenties, and by that time… well I was a devout Catholic and now I am not.

I too suffered because of three disgusting, perverted priests. See if your state has opened a window for victims to go after the church. If so? Do so.
Joshua333
I’m guessing he never swallowed then.
lambchopp59
Oh my now I discover I’ve been in the wrong profession all along, should have followed my “calling” to perform many, many exorcisms.
Onecaddy13
I really can’t believe I’m reading this & looking at all the comments from the comics. You have all truly made my day with this one. Can’t stop laughing.

I was raped by three priests at St Thomas More in Durham NH when I was 15. This is exactly what the first priest did to me. See? I had done something really stupid and I do regret to this day, I stole a check from my father and cashed it. I got into trouble for it, but I sure did not deserve the “punishment” these sick and twisted pedo priests did to me.
He told me I had broken two of the ten commandments, dishonoring my father and stealing and unless I did exactly what he said? I would burn in hell for all eternity. So? He had to first? Suck the demons out of me, then? I had to suck his “sacred sacrament” from him, and? Despite my puking in a wastebasket after? He then raped me anally, forcing me to say the Our Fathers and Hail Mary’s as penance. And then? He freaking drugged me with a glass of water, two more priests joined in, they basically did a porn video of what they were doing to me, I could hear the camera going and they saying, move this way, we cannot see you doing that. Then? They took me into the church itself and took turns raping me on the altar while I kept hearing the name Asmodeus.
Come to find out? Asmodeus is The First One, the Lord of Hell and the Demon Lord of Lust.
They also called me a liar, a vile, hateful, malicious liar. They said the bedroom I claimed the rape took place in? Did not exist. They claimed one of the priests I accused died in 1972. They claimed no police officer ever drops off a child to a church who just got into trouble with the law.
Well? I just got the blueprints of the place and guess what? The bedroom is exactly where I said it was. One of those perverts are still alive the last we knew, one died in 2015 and one died in 2018, according to the churches own obituary blogs. And? I am obtaining next week? A court/police file which not only proves a police officer had to bring me there after he witnessed my father punch me in the face but also the priest he left me with and a notation that when he picked me up the next morning for court? It seemed as if I was drunk.
Let’s see them try to lie their way out of this now, or dare call me a liar again.
ZoltanPepper
These comments are surreal…laughing and crying at the same time! GaryQV — your last post was hysterical!
Overall, tho, we can’t demonize all priests. That kind of unfair generalization contributes precisely to the unfair generalizations hurled against any person or group, especially, gay men. The effect? Well-intended and good natured people get hurt. We know that all too well. A little nuanced thinking militates against this unfair discrimination on all sides, plus, it’s the right thing to do.
