Dale giffin raped and abused poor church girls With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ring finger At a Lutheren Church society gath'rin'. And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him As they rode him in custody down to the station And booked Dale Giffin for first degree rape and molestation But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears, Take the rag away from your face. Now ain't the time for your tears.
Dale Giffin, who at about fifty years Owns an apartment building an of six hundred rooms With a rich wealthy family who provide and protect him And high office relations in the politics of Ohio, Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders And swear words and sneering, and his tongue it was snarling, In a matter of minutes on bail was out walking. But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears, Take the rag away from your face. Now ain't the time for your tears.
The victims were young maidens of the church. They were fifteen years old and went to church for confirmation They carried the bibles and took out the communion And never stood once at the head of the pulpit And silently walked among the people at the congregation Who just cleaned up the wine from the sacrifical table And emptied the pews on a whole other level, Got raped by a blow, lay slain by sexs act That sailed through the air and came down through the room, Doomed and determined to destroy all the gentle. And they never done nothing to Dale Giffin. But you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears, Take the rag away from your face. Now ain't the time for your tears.
In the courtroom of honor, the judge pounded his gavel To show that all's equal and that the courts are on the level And that the strings in the books ain't pulled and persuaded And that even the nobles get properly handled Once that the cops have chased after and caught 'em And that the ladder of law has no top and no bottom, Stared at the person who raped for no reason Who just happened to be feelin' that way without warnin'. And he spoke through his cloak, most deep and distinguished, And handed out strongly, for penalty and repentance...
Dale Giffin without a six-month sentence. Oh, but you who philosophize disgrace and criticize all fears, Bury the rag deep in your face For now's the time for your tears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone knows how easy it is for criminals to get off of what they deserve in this town. Escpecially with Igrahm as your attorney. How does he sleep at night? How does his mother live knowing her son's life is dedicated to letting sex offenders murderers and criminals walk out of the court room doors just so he can make a buck? my friend is left with cuts on her arms and all Mr. giffin gets is a slap on the wrist? He has been totally inappropriate with so many young girls and it's thier word against his. Do people acutally think he would do this in the daylight???!!! Dale is a sociopath. He has no remorse for what terror he has caused all of these girls forced into silence. Did any one read what I wrote before? There are more women. There are girls. My best friend is one of them. She was on a mission trip and when the detectives went through the church's documents guess which year they had NO RECORD of the trip???? The year he decided he wanted to RUIN HER LIFE. Starting 20 years ago through today Dale has been touching little children. Do you get it now? He preys on them. He councels thier unknowing dysfunctional families, knows the father is absent in the childs life and PREYS ON HER. He had a secret apartment building next to the church. When these charges were brought to him - where did half of his stuff go?? Don't be so ignorent about the workings of evil. We were told there would be satan's puppets dressed up as an angel of light. He is nothing but a coward. HIS LIFE IS MEANINGLESS. HE IS A LIE. HIS WHOLE LIFE IS A LIE. He is a SICK MAN. If anyone in this town gave a damn about the well being of children he would of been put away by now. But they don't. There is no hope in people of position. Look at the judge. Not even a registration as a SEX offender!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My friend and I pray together daily. We pray for HIS NEXT VICTIM BECAUSE THERE WILL BE ONE. We know his real day will come because we know he will not be able to control himself and one of these days hes going to pick the wrong girl and the wrong family to mess with. Keep your daughters and young girls by your side they could be next.
You know how us Luthren girls can be We make up for so much time a little too late I never forgot it, confusing as it was No fun with no guilt feelings The sinners, the saviors, the loverless priests I'll see you next Sunday
We all had our reasons to be there We all had a thing or two to learn We all needed something to cling to So we did
I sang Alleluia in the choir I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man My brother they never went blind for what he did But I may as well have In the name of the Father, the Skeptic and the Son I had one more stupid question
We all had our reasons to be there We all had a thing or two to learn We all needed something to cling to So we did
What I learned I rejected but I believe again I will suffer the consequence of this inquisition If I jump in this fountain, will I be forgiven We all had our reasons to be there We all had a thing or two to learn We all needed something to cling to So we did
We all had delusions in our head We all had our minds made up for us We had to believe in something So we did
A vial of hope and a vial of pain, In the light they both looked the same. Poured them out on into the world, On every boy and every girl singing

My best friend is one of the victims. She was a minor. Very much a minor. There have been more than 15 women come forward. Obviously, not much has been stated to release information of the case because Dale has not been sentenced yet. My friend was told not to tell any one or share her story until everything is finalized. Knowing Dales control of the council the two women contacted the FEMALE Bishop Eaton, once she was contacted many other women came forward to bishop Eaton. And she was the rock in all of this. I give praise to her strength in helping to lead all of this. One of the victims was not from the past, but one was a girl Dale was working on before the two women came forward. Women HAVE come forward (including my friend) to the church counsel, but like it was stated before, they were told to leave, by Dale and by the counsel. When I went through this with my friend, it was clear the "church counsel" was like a cult, following any word dripping off dale's tounge. Dale used what he knew about people's personal and private lives to keep those that knew about his sexual abuse quiet. It's clear Pastor Williams did leave because of it. I suppose he felt he was up against too much. Just as the women felt. My friend missed about a year of high school, and went through intense counciling because of her cutting herself because of this creep. Don't forget the terror he has caused in the dreams of these women. my friend lost her innocence. her innocence to a priest. To those intrested in this case because they go to that church. . . . .I am so sorry. but he has gotten away with so much. I pray for the congregation of that church. I pray that they can do the right thing for once, and next time, listen to thier instincts. You would be amazed to know, my incredible, strong and forgiving friend prays for that church daily. I hope they have the sense to realize the lesson in all of this and I hope they are praying for the victims as well as themselves. The victims are all aware they have taken the congregation's precious Sunday from them. My questions to the doubtful congregation is. . . Would you rather continue to sit in a pew and hear a lesson from satan dressed as an angel of light? Or stop being self-ish, stand up and do the right thing by protecting women who could have never been victims because you did nothing? Who is your God?

No fun with no guilt feelings

I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man
My brother they never went blind for what he did
But I may as well have
In the name of the Father, the Skeptic and the Son
I had one more stupid question
We all had our reasons to be there
We all had a thing or two to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did
What I learned I rejected but I believe again
I will suffer the consequence of this inquisition
If I jump in this fountain, will I be forgiven
We all had our reasons to be there
We all had a thing or two to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did
We all had delusions in our head
We all had our minds made up for us
We had to believe in something
So we did
