When I discontinued being a follower,(that is another story) I thought of that beautiful young boy, Jasha, and wondered if he might one day become one of Louie's victims. I hated to think of that and wanted to be positive that Louie would never be so stupid. Then I started to hear stories from eyewitnesses that Louie was verbally abusing Jasha and that Jasha was trying to leave his family because he couldn't take it anymore. I felt there was more. Then I had a call from a friend the day after Jasha's death that he had taken his life. I knew in my heart that Jasha most likely had been sexually abused by Louie. It was such a violent way to take one's life. Dear, dear Jasha felt there was no other way out. The pain in my heart is so great that I will not stand by until this is resolved. Louie Bonanno has a history of sexual abuse. That is a fact. There are many that know it still goes on. There are many that do not know this. Once a sex addict, always a sex addict. Most are forbidden to be around young boys for good reason.
I stand by this story and I have others that will confirm this. If the police need to get in touch with me, it is not difficult to find me. If someone wants to give me a name of a police contact (TrueBlue you may know) I will swear to this on a stack of sacred texts that it is all true. I know there are others that know the truth as well.
I am so sorry, Jasha. I am so sorry for the terror you must have endured. I can only believe that you are at peace now. I, for one, can not sleep peacefully until this is resolved. I know there are many others feeling the same.....his family, his friends.

Thank you so much for sharing this part of your story. I know what you are saying is absolutely true and it makes me so, so sad for sweet Jasha. There was an unspoken veil of sadness around Jasha and I always suspected that he was being sexually abused at the hands of his step-father.

Thanks so much for that I have appreciated all of your posts. You have been such a majorly great contributor to this forum--and have helped us to sort out this situation.

Yes, we are in much deep pain and we really knew Jasha.

If we could get the gay community--who might know more details about any of Louix's past or recent sexcapades etc or anything we might get someone to "sing" and get some results. They need to do the right thing and talk. It will help them too.

Maybe we could get him on a past abuse of another indvidual or individuals.

Any gay guys who know others who knew Louix ask them to get on this forum!

Somebody has to have some details.

If his gay relationships are recent and he is attracted to young men and it is REALLY REALLY hard to reform a child molester/addict-- they try but it is about a 99% failure rate of recovery for that.

We need to find something to catch him on.

He'll be onto other victims. gay or straight or the neighbor kids. evidently where ever he can find them.

We need to stop this before he hurts more people and I won't stop until we get results.

Anybody who has any abuse issues caused by Louix needs to come forward --get louix put away so more people aren't hurt.

FORMER DISCIPLES GO TO THE POLICE AGAIN THEY WON'T COME TO US--TELL THEM OF YOUR ABUSE. GO TOGETHER IF IT HELPS. IF WE CAN CATCH LOUIX ON EVEN ONE THING ALTHOUGH WE KNOW IT IS A LOT MORE.

HOW MANY COUNTS OF SEXUAL ABUSE/ASSAULT CAN THIS GUY GET AWAY WITH AND HOW MANY MORE DEATHS AND RUINED LIVES?

We don't want this to happen to another innocent beautiful kid.

Praying for ya,

LOVE and peace.

Not agreeing with anything that Louix or you guys say, but you seem to be assuming its Louix's fault just because hes had sex with other young men. Now dont assocciate me as one of louix's followers because im not.

Clearly you do not personally know Louix, Katrina, Jasha, Ela or Arielle. I know all of them personally. And I can assure you that Former Disciple 2's comments are 100% valid.

Thank you for the support. This is a difficult day for me.

What consenting adults do is no one's business, however, if, and I say if there are minors involved it is against the law, and sick as you can get. All interested parties just want an answer as to what lead to this bright young teenager to take his life. I for one did not believe the reason his step father gave at the memorial for his STEP SON'S death, neither did others in attendance, well maybe his disciples believed it as they appear to worship this guru.

If a person was gay with consenting men, it is a huge jump to then insinuate homosexual acts with non-consenting men, and then an insane jump to assume sex with boys, and then a loved son!

Such faulty vilifying logic bespeaks of a personal vendetta.

I am a neighbor; I drive past the memorial of Jasha every day. I'm not concerned with Louix's sexual preferences or his faith. I'm concerned for the safety of my neighborhood and my children. What is the latest with the investigation?

Seems like they aren't doing anything with the investigation except for wait for the final toxicology reports to come in but they might be doing more--they aren't telling us. Then I think the investigator wants to close it that is why the sexual abuses and his cult are the issues so we can work on those and keep your neighborhood safe.

you people are disgusting,
i understand you want this solved,
but if you were truly friends of jasha
you wouldnt talk about how he died.
who the hell cares?
you should be talking about what he left here.
you need help.
jasha
i love you with all my heart.

Are you one of his current disciples?

We did and do talk about how we loved Jasha read the whole thing--now to love is to find the truth. I think Jasha would have wanted that. It would be a great injustice to not get to the truth. The normal healthly person who really knew Jasha would want to know the real truth and not blindly beleive a lie from a liar.

Past disciples have said some men were actually sexually abused and the men even came forward with the abuse
It was earlier on the forum --it may have been erased some of the postings change and get erased and get moved.

You gay guys were doing all the complaining so this will solve the problem.

Wow... you really are a gay-phobic. First of all, I am not a gay guy, so you missed the mark once again. You are speculating and have no proof and to attack gay people shows your maturity. If someone is gay, that does not make them a bad person, unless they have broken a law.

Do they teach you to hate gay people or people that are different than you in your church? When you make the type of comments that you do, you are teaching that to your children. Would you respond the same way if your child was gay?

Please think more before you speak/type.

Thanks. That led me to discover what a "heart opening" is-

"My Miracle

I have just returned home late, after having gathered up my three young children from various babysitters and tucked them in, and I am going to take a moment before sweet sleep overtakes me, to sit for a few moments (to the “tune” of my snoring hubby in the background!) to write you a few words of thanks for “my miracle” after having had the honor of your wisdom tonight at your “An Evening With…” at Melbourne University, Australia (16 December 2005). My morning started today with being diagnosed with breast cancer (not a very kind way to start the day, to say the least!) and finished, I now know, not by any co-incidence, with an evening with you. By rights I probably should feel as though I have been through a wringer! But therein lies my miracle...

This evening I had the most amazing experience in your presence. For this past week I have had to face my own mortality and it has been quite a week! The questions that have plagued my mind! Well, as you can imagine, I have searched to the very edges of my mind for the answers to ALL the questions of my life—the “Why me’s” have surfaced, the “Where did I go wrong’s?” not to forget the “Oh no! Who is going to love my children like I do’s?” to the resignation of “Oh well, maybe it’s God’s will and perhaps ‘he’ needs me on ‘the other side,’” and, well, the whole spectrum in between. You probably get the picture: Had me dead and buried and thanks for the memories!

And then I met YOU actually face-to-face! Gave me a bit of a fright at first, as I spent most of your conversation in a wonderful, most amazingly insightful meditation...I could hardly believe my ears! As you, in all your truly amazing wisdom, began to answer ALL of my silent questions!“How does he see into my heart?”(I was thinking) and “How does he speak these truths of my spirit? How does he reach into those dark places of fear buried so deep within me and speak with such down-to-earth clarity? Who is this man?”

And then I opened my eyes with a head that felt like a huge ball of light... And there YOU were, looking deep into my eyes, knowing the questions in my heart and smiling with all your beauty and peace at my inability to answer your question of me. What questions could I still have when you have just laid my life bare and filled my very being with all that love! I thought I should burst! But you just smiled, in that beautiful way of yours, that felt like an angel’s caress, and said something kind about MY heart! And you did not stop there as you THEN proceeded to answer (through two other audience members) those exact “Questions of questions” that had dried up on my tongue in your gaze!...Now if THAT is not a miracle! then I wonder just what IS a miracle?

So here I am typing at 2 a.m., filled with the peace of your love, and I want to say “Thank you” again for this miracle of mine that I will keep with me for always and share whenever I can…this beautiful love that you share with all the world. My life will continue to be all the more wondrous for our paths having crossed this evening, of this I am certain...

Thank You so much with all my heart.

Always yours,

Vicki Torcello
Melbourne, Australia"

It would be quite something to have such a man who inspires so many, as a father.
