pastor joel webbon during sermon
The pastor suggests the #MeToo movement would end quickly with his controversial idea.

A Texas pastor says he has the solution to end false rape accusations, and he believes the Holy Bible backs him up.

His plan? Execute a few women and the rest will fall in line. 

Pastor Joel Webbon of Covenant Bible Church in Georgetown, Texas, made the controversial statement during a larger sermon in late September entitled “So The Rest May Stand In Fear.”

In the sermon, Pastor Webbon suggests taking our justice system back thousands of years, to when false witnesses were given the same punishment as their accusation.

And though this could apply to any number of crimes, Pastor Webbon had particular ire for women who falsely accuse men of rape, suggesting that movements like ‘#MeToo’ will be squashed very quickly if we dial back the justice system a few thousand years.

An Eye for an Eye

"This should be the law of the land in our country, in every country, still to this day," said Pastor Webbon during the sermon.

He says we should follow the legal blueprint found in Deuteronomy 19: Anyone who falsely accuses anyone of a crime must bear the punishment of that crime if the accused is found guilty. 

For example: If you accuse someone of murder, and the punishment for murder is death, but the accused is innocent, the accuser will instead be put to death instead.

"If that were to occur, and the just penalties were to be enforced, you the false accuser is now put to death - and that's a public death, a public sentence, publicly carried out," Webbon explained. "Then the citizens of these United States of America, you know what they would do? #MeToo would end real fast. False accusing, playing the victim when you're actually not? You know how to end that real fast? All you have you do is publicly execute a few women who have lied."

It’s not just women who make false rape accusations who should be murdered, however. Webbon also went on to argue that “in a just society” women who commit adultery would also be killed, rendering divorce unnecessary because “there would not be a spouse left living to divorce.”

The sermons went viral after they were shared on X, with the clip of Webbon calling for false rape accusers to be executed has been viewed more than 5 million times.

Is This a Good Idea?

Responses poured in from social media users, most of whom were outraged at the pastor’s insistence that Bronze Age justice should make a comeback in the 21st century.

Though most agreed that Webbon’s solution is barbaric, he doubled down, insisting that he was only espousing biblical values and God’s justice.

Well, that’s one way to get divorce rates down. 

Pastor Webbon says he’s suggesting we follow the legal blueprint laid out by God in the Bible. But most would agree that murdering false rape accusers and adulterers is particularly barbaric, and obviously rife for all sorts of abuse, and rape is already a difficult crime to prove in a court of law. If a woman is raped, takes her rapist to court, but is unable to meet the burden of proof for the crime… should she be executed? Under Pastor Webbon’s justice system, the answer appears to be yes. Is that really justice?

What is your reaction? Is an eye for an eye ever a good idea, or should we simply leave this idea thousands of years in the past?

        This is why most rapes go unreported. If it really happened, but she cannot prove it in court, the woman should now be punished? That will shut up even more rape victims. Is that the idea? Great idea, Webbon, et al.

      2. John Robert Peters's Avatar John Robert Peters

        I really don't think women should be the focus of all that is evil. The Eve story is mythic and written by a member of an extreme patriarchal society. Women are raped frequently and abused more frequently in many other ways including severe physical abuse. Most of the time the men perpetrateing the abuse and rape and incest go unpunished and continue on in their normal lives while a women who suffers the abuse is left by society to either continue to suffer, seek help in a shelter for the abused, or flee and try to change her identity so she can't be found and beaten yet again.I truly believe that if the sort of nonsense coming from this pastor is supported even by indifference and silence, this socient will fall. Any god, goddess or god/goddess who would allow this to happen in her/his creation does not deserve worship and his minister desserve the punishment.

    Texas - what a surprise. I guess they're not killing enough women there.

    "A dramatic rise in pregnant women dying in Texas after abortion ban. Analysis finds the rate of maternal deaths in Texas increased 56% from 2019 to 2022, compared with just 11% nationwide during the same time period."

    And who determines "false" rape accusations? A jury of all male good ole boys?

      As I also pointed out in another discussion here, two texas billionaires, one a pastor, are working to make texas a theocracy, neither are shy about it and they admit that they are working to make the US a theocracy as well, because...texas be crazy and apparently filled with whackjobs who want to implement their kkkristofascists version of sharia law...literally they want to govern based on biblical law. And you wonder why I'm so disrespectful towards those poor excuses of human beings and those that think like them.

      Imagine, health care determined NOT by medically trained personnel but by preachers and bjorn agin' holy rollers (and maybe a conspiracist with lawyerly training who could possibly be in charge of the US health care system). Dog save us all

    talk about coincidence, I brought up this exact incident (in the blog about the secret religious history of halloween) and a member claimed I was being paranoid and dismissed me, this story and other related items.

    but to the point here, this is a glaring reason why I have no respect for people and religions such as the ones in the story. image, a 'religious man' who thinks killing women for making false accusations of rape is a suitable punishment. sadly he fails to note his feelings on punishment for the men who are actually found guilty. but then, he's all too aware that proving rape can be difficult and nearly impossible if the woman is not examined medically (rape kit). comments like those from this horrible little man are intended to make women afraid to come forth if they've been raped, which of course makes it easier and safer for men to continue raping women with impunity. it's not justice, it's open season on women under the disgusting auspices of religion, bible and god.

      JJ, Your point is taken.

      When is killing someone for a false accusation an "eye for an eye"? What I didn't get was how murdering a woman because she falsely accused someone of rape is punishing him the same way he would have been found guilty. The last time I looked, the only time that rape deserves the death penalty is when the victim is killed in the process of being raped to silence her.

How can all these Godly men listen to their Godly wife and sleep with their handmaids. How could Jacob not realize that he married Leah and not the love of his life. The list could go on.

    Although "execute" is an overreaction and hyperbole, I do think that when anyone does bare false witness such as alleged rape, or let's say testimony which damages a person professionally, I think there has to be a very strong signal sent. These cases have escalated in the past four decades, and we've even seen false witness on national TV hearings. Ergo, I would suggest that the person bearing false witness serve at minimum 20 years in federal prison, and be on restricted bond from any situation, persons, or group which enabled the false testimony to propagate.

    You know, there is a simple answer to this. Suppose you were about to embark on the job of a lifetime, let's say a $1-million dollar a year job, and during the interview process I were to pop up and start bringing up all types of false claims to the point where the job was rescinded, and your career was basically over. Period. The only job you can now find is part time at a McDonald's for minimum wage. What would YOU fee would be a sufficient penalty toward me, in order to stop me from lying, and send the message to other people that if you lie and bear false witness, this too shall be your fate?

    1. Rev. Dr. Father JJ's Avatar Rev. Dr. Father JJ

      you seem a bit lathered up over the idea of someone making false claims of rape or other libelous claims.

      1) are you aware that making false claims can cause that person a lot of trouble, maybe you've heard of rudy giuliani making false claims against two women in georgia? or a business man named donald trump making defamatory comments about another woman? both were found guilty and penalized with financial penalties. so it seems there are laws in place and they appear to work

      2) while you seem overwrought about the thought of a woman making a false claim of rape against an innocent man (and your thoughts on her punishment) but, you seem a bit light on punishment (if any) for the man if the charges are actually true? do you have a bias?

          fake rape doesn't occur nearly as often as actual, real, cruel, rape. not sure why you are so adamant about women being persecuted and prosecuted and just slithering past the issue that it's men that rape women.

          Maybe get it through the heads of men that rape is a brutal crime and maybe once rapists cease to rape (and men who are rapists no longer walk free) then maybe false rape will disappear.

          in the meantime you seem hellbent on punishing women at nearly every blog here so again, I am left to wonder, why do you hate women so?

Shouldn’t the legal system hold responsibility for using evidence that was fallible? Why did the police, prosecutor, and jury ignore the 16 alibi witnesses? The victim in this case is not to blame. It is an ineffective criminal justice system.

      Sexual assault and rape are difficult to prove in court, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. The defense always blames the victim in these cases, and jury trials must be beyond a reasonable doubt. Sometimes it only takes one person to cast doubt. Do you think the accusers in that situation should be punished?

        The fact that a womman's allegation of rape could not be proven to the criminal standard is NOT proof that her allegaion was false. If there is other evidence that her allegaion were false, she would be entitled to a fair trial just the same as alleged victim was.

    For a Christian, this pastor has ideas about women that are very much like extreme Sharia Islam perspectives on women. From Daily Mail and other articles I would suggest his personality is characterized by a preoccupation with perfection, orderliness, and controlling relationships. (According to Daily mail he “dictates” and controls every moment of every aspect of the lives in his family.) He’s “classic” textbook case for students in psychology to look at.

    Whenever a name and place is given, I always like to research it and get other sources to gather more information. Next thing you know, a more complete picture emerges

    I did the same thing with ULC’s “about” and “history”. I come to discover ULC is about as candid and transparent as you can get! The leaders have the innocence of a child with a vision of an idealized world where society is just, fair, and harmonious. Obviously, the pastor in this article is completely opposite!

  1. Russel A. Kester's Avatar Russel A. Kester

    While the pastor in the article seems to have gone to a rhetorical extreme to demonstrate how different our society would be if we were to follow ideas about justice written in the Old Testament by quoting Deuteronomy 19 "Anyone who falsely accuses anyone of a crime must bear the punishment of that crime if the accused is found guilty," we do not have those quotes in context nor does the printed word allow a reader to hear any inflection or nuance his voice gave to his speech. It is also noteworthy that the source of the quotes on X came from Right Wing Watch. "Right Wing Watch is a project of the progressive nonprofit organization People For the American Way" per Business Insider https://www.businessinsider.com/right-wing-watch-banned-from-youtube-2021-6 and therefore may be highly edited for sensational effect.

    That said, men falsely accused of rape are not receiving justice for the pain, suffering, and anguish they endure.The Hill asked, "[s]hould deliberately false reports of sexual assault be subject to the same legal penalties as false reports of other felonies? Right now, accusers who lie about sexual abuse are criminally liable for filing a false report and perjury, as well as civil sanctions for defamation, but legal consequences rarely occur." https://thehill.com/opinion/civil-rights/411905-is-it-time-to-punish-deliberate-false-accusers/

    "When a man is falsely accused of sexual assault, he may experience a range of adverse psychological effects, including anxiety, depression, anger, shame, and a profound sense of betrayal. These emotions can lead to the development of PTSD, a mental health disorder triggered by traumatic experiences." https://medium.com/@mrdcooper7/the-trauma-of-false-accusations-understanding-ptsd-in-men-wrongly-accused-of-sexual-assault-5b8057a20631 I heard the testimony of a young footballer in the UK who was falsely accused of rape and lost his position on his team and his career. It took two years before his case went to court in the UK and took the jury less than 10 minutes to find him innocent, but the damage was done. And worse, the woman, under UK law, remained anonymous and received no punishment.

    The very real harm experienced by men is great and there must be a severe punishment to women who falsely accuse men of rape.

      Just because they could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that sexual assault or rape occurred does not mean it didn’t happen. Do you think the victims in these cases should be punished? Wouldn’t that scenario make more women not come forward to report such crimes? It can only take one juror to not be convinced for a rapist to go free.

      In many cases when a woman is assaulted, they are blamed, shamed, and accused of lying. What if they’re in shock and don’t immediately report it and do a rape kit? Should they just keep silent? What about their PTSD? Are you telling me this is another example of women's rights going too far?

      So, what you then have is women who are afraid to bring charges against their attackers for fear reprisal, so that rapist will continue to victimize other women. I do agree that publicly charging a person with rape, and having them judged in the media is wrong, but to make women further fear for their safety, by instituting an archaic reprisal tactic. What's next? Stoning adulterers and jailing people who don't attend church?

        You misunderstand my sentiments. I’m not saying that if a man is found not guilty of the charges that the woman should be then put on trial for false accusations. I’m not saying that at all. What I’m saying is it when it’s found that a woman has completely and deliberately falsified such claims That the penalty for making such claims should have the same degree of severity as the charges that were leveled against the man. Charging a man with rape they could put him in prison for years and years, and then being found guilty of making a false police report with a much less severe penalty is just not an equitable arrangement. To be very clear, there needs to be evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that the woman deliberately and falsely accused a man of rape or sexual assault.

      I agree. Malicious allegations of rape can ruin a man's life, even if he is, eventually, acquitted. There must be some just for men who are maliciously accused.

    We are now officially a country of WCN. The majority of voters wanted this so there is no reason for us to debate it any longer. Women deserve to die for anything considered a transgression by these pastors and now by the WH and Congress. Washington has the trifecta, they invited WCNs into the oval Office (officially they were told they can have a seat at the table) and women are now at best 3/5 of a person. This is who we REALLY are. Yes, it is a sad day.

    Those are terrorist death threats, and he should be arrested then committed to a psychiatric facility. I for one think the police need to be called, especially because this man is dumb enough to put it in writing.

    This guy needs to be muzzled and removed from whatever church he is supposedly leading. You DO NOT wish for the death of anyone and still be able to call yourself religious.

    They should be charged and sued, but this guy is crazy to say put to death.

      Not if the charges the man was accused of could have resulted in the death penalty.

    Another example of a false leader /teacher used by Satan to cause more mass confusion, you can go to a casino on Saturday but not a church , my sabbath begins Friday sundown to Saturday sundown ,you can't serve two masters , Sunday is the pagan sun God day of worship so if course the false religions will arise

    You cannot claim you're preaching a New Testament gospel and promote Old Testament justice. They are incompatible and leave everyone susceptible to the stringent code of the Mosaic law. This is just another example of a 'pastor' with no true comprehension of grace. Most likely he's got a skeleton (or two) in his closet he's afraid will start talking.

    Is this minister out of his mind? Betcha he locks his wife in the closet if his coffee isn't brought to him on time in the morning, too. There are already large numbers of rape victims who were too scared to report a rape. Just the process of proving it was a rape is humiliating to a woman, add that to a rape and it's no wonder that so many go unreported. What has this man done in his lifetime to say that a woman who falsely reports a rape should be executed?

    This pastor is off the rails. How any alleged minister can advocate putting women to death even for a false accusation is beyond the extreme. This congregation needs to police their own.

    According to the ULF:we are all children of the same universe...see the bottom of this page...there is no distinction re sex, gender, sexual preferences, religion, color, or language.

    Apparently a fair number of the pastors on this site do not believe in the tenant of the ULF even as they consider themselves members of the ULF.

    Perhaps a bunch of folks need to grow up and consider how they say they believe and how the behave in practicing and preaching their beliefs.

    His mind is too simple, i cannot go on sharing his nightmares, my own are becoming clearer and they open into prehistory, into a village lit with blood, where all the fathers are shouting "my son is mine"....
