“Pastor Addy came to my house, asked me to pray with him and that he has had some bad revelations about me. While we were praying, he undressed me and started licking my vagina ….”

These were the words of a 32-year-old woman who alleged that she was sexually assaulted by a pastor at Omanjor near Sowutuom, a suburb of Accra.

The pastor, Stephen Addy-Powell of Crown Miracle International Ministries, Omanjor, was therefore arrested by the Sowutuom Police to assist in their investigations.

According to the victim, the incident happened on the afternoon of April 15, 2011.

“I was in the house that afternoon when I heard somebody banging on our main gate, so I rushed to see who that person was.”

She said when she went to open the gate she saw Pastor Stephen Addy Powell holding a Bible together with two others.

“Pastor introduced himself as a man of God, and also founder and leader of Crown Miracle International Ministries Omanjor and that he had a message for me. So I ushered him into my sitting room.

“He then asked his friends to excuse us by going out while he told me the confidential message.

“He said God had revealed to him that I had been engaged spiritually by some evil spirits. He said if we did not pray to break that evil bond I could neither marry nor have a child,” the lady told the police.

She stated that they started to pray about it, and in the process, Pastor Stephen Addy asked her to promise him that she would do anything she was asked to do which she accepted.

The woman alleged that after some moments of prayer inside her sitting room, the pastor lifted her dress, removed her panties and started to lick her vagina.

“He licked me for quite a long period before concluding the prayers,” she said.

The complainant said after Pastor Addy had left with his colleagues, she became afraid of the actions of the pastor and so reported the incident to her church pastor.

“Some family members also asked me to report the matter to the police but because I had no evidence, I intentionally called Pastor Stephen on the phone to question him about the consequences of his licking my vagina.

“I also asked why he licked my vagina and then he confessed that he loved me and wanted me to be his wife.”

After the conversation, the victim averred that a formal report was lodged to the Sowutuom police where Pastor Stephen Addy was arrested.

Confirming the story, the Crime Officer of the Odorkor District Police Command, Superintendent Barfour Apenteng indicated that 31-year-old pastor Stephen Addy was indeed arrested by the police for questioning.

“Our investigations indicate that the pastor actually committed the act and so a charge of indecent assault had been leveled against him,” the police said.

He maintained that when an earlier recording was played to Pastor Addy, he got confused and then confessed to having committed the act, but said he wanted the girl as a friend.

The Odorkor crime officer stated that investigations also revealed that the pastor is married with an eight-month-old baby.

“He would be arraigned before court soon,” he added.

I aint gon front. Im feeling this junt!

WASHINGTON - Squeezed by rising living costs, a record number of Americans — nearly 1 in 2 — have fallen into poverty or are scraping by on earnings that classify them as low income.
The latest census data depict a middle class that's shrinking as unemployment stays high and the government's safety net frays. The new numbers follow years of stagnating wages for the middle class that have hurt millions of workers and families.

"Safety net programs such as food stamps and tax credits kept poverty from rising even higher in 2010, but for many low-income families with work-related and medical expenses, they are considered too 'rich' to qualify," said Sheldon Danziger, a University of Michigan public policy professor who specializes in poverty.

"The reality is that prospects for the poor and the near poor are dismal," he said. "If Congress and the states make further cuts, we can expect the number of poor and low-income families to rise for the next several years."

Congressional Republicans and Democrats are sparring over legislation that would renew a Social Security payroll tax cut, part of a year-end political showdown over economic priorities that could also trim unemployment benefits, freeze federal pay and reduce entitlement spending.

Robert Rector, a senior research fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation, questioned whether some people classified as poor or low-income actually suffer material hardship. He said that while safety-net programs have helped many Americans, they have gone too far, citing poor people who live in decent-size homes, drive cars and own wide-screen TVs.

"There's no doubt the recession has thrown a lot of people out of work and incomes have fallen," Rector said. "As we come out of recession, it will be important that these programs promote self-sufficiency rather than dependence and encourage people to look for work."

Mayors in 29 cities say more than 1 in 4 people needing emergency food assistance did not receive it. Many middle-class Americans are dropping below the low-income threshold — roughly $45,000 for a family of four — because of pay cuts, a forced reduction of work hours or a spouse losing a job. Housing and child-care costs are consuming up to half of a family's income.

States in the South and West had the highest shares of low-income families, including Arizona, New Mexico and South Carolina, which have scaled back or eliminated aid programs for the needy. By raw numbers, such families were most numerous in California and Texas, each with more than 1 million.

I see articles like these, and then I read reports on the news about how kids are spending close to $200 on the latest jordans or how people are dropping $500 on the newest Ipad and wonder how true are these articles really?

yeah times are fu*ked up, but folks are spending money so much it's hard to tell at times.

It's almost like the worse it get's economically, the more money people spend on materialistic things to help cope with how fu*ked up the job market is right now. 

Another day, another celebrity crib faces foreclosure! The suburban Chicago mansion of Grammy-winning singer R. Kelly is on the market. A real estate listing shows the 22,000-square-foot mansion in Olympia Fields with a $1.595 million price tag. It’s a short sale, meaning Kelly owes more on the house than it’s worth.

Kelz custom-built the 16-room gated mansion back in 1997. The house includes eight full bathrooms, four fireplaces, an indoor pool, sauna and theater room. There’s also a private lake.Over the summer the house was the subject of a $2.9 million foreclosure lawsuit because Kelly reportedly failed to make monthly mortgage payments for more than a year. 

I know this isn't true, but it's funny! LOL A House built in 1997 and under foreclosure for $2.9 million. #C'monSon

Marijuana use among American teens is at a 30-year high.

One of every 15 high school seniors reported smoking pot on a daily or nearly daily basis, according to a report released by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The rate is the highest since 1981 and the fourth straight year showing an increase.

The numbers of teens drinking and smoking cigarettes, however, is on the decline.

The study surveyed 47,000 8th, 10th, and 12th-graders.

"One thing we've learned over the years is that when young people come to see a drug as dangerous, they're less likely to use it," Lloyd Johnston, the study's principal investigator, told the Associated Press. "That helps to explain why marijuana right now is rising, because the proportion of kids who see it as dangerous has been declining."

One out of nine high school seniors reported using synthetic marijuana, known as Spice or K2, in the past 12 months. This was the first year the survey asked about synthetic marijuana use.

Synthetic marijuana was sold legally until March when the Drug Enforcement Administration banned some chemicals in sythetic marijuana.

"High school students probably think it's not dangerous," R. Gil Kerlikowske, the federal drug czar, told The New York Times. "But we know from the calls to hot lines, emergency departments and poison control centers that this stuff really is dangerous. It just really wasn't on the parents' radar screens."

But while marijuana use continues to climb, teens continue to lose interest in alcohol and other drugs.

The use of alcohol was at historic lows for the survey. Forty percent of the 12th-grade students reported drinking in the past 30 days this year compared to 54 percent in 1991.

The study also reported that cigarette use fell this year from 21.6% in 2006 to 18.7%. "That cigarette use has declined to historically low rates is welcome news, given our concerns that declines may have slowed or stalled in recent years," Dr. Nora D. Volkow, NIDA director, said in a press release. “That said, the teen smoking rate is declining much more slowly than in years past, and we are seeing teens consume other tobacco products at high levels."

A decrease of teens who used cocaine, tranquilizers, over-the-counter cold medicine, prescription drugs like Adderall, and narcotic pain killers like Vicodin, the study noted.
