*Pastor - youth minister - let it all hang out at Dunkin Donuts*

*N*ORWOOD -- The church that employs a pastor accused of exposing himself
has issued a statement that appears to agree with comments of parishioners
who have said the arrest must be a misunderstanding.
The statement, sent by e-mail to a Daily News Transcript reporter
yesterday afternoon, concerns* Pastor John Gatti, 30, who was arrested
Monday on a charge of open and gross lewdness *after *police said he exposed
himself to the clerk at Dunkin' Donuts* on High Plain Street in Walpole.
*Parishioners *who know Gatti *said they believed his arrest must be a
mistake*, that he would never intentionally expose himself to anyone.
Thomas B. Geyser, senior pastor of The Living Waters Christian Church,
said this week that Gatti had been suspended, but offered no further
comment.
The church's Web site showed earlier this week that Gatti was employed
as a *youth pastor and co-director of youth ministry *since 2004, but all
references to Gatti were removed from the site as of Wednesday.
In the statement, Geyser said Gatti met with him Monday night and told
him in his own words what happened. The statement includes no direct quotes
from Gatti, but Geyser recounted what he said Gatti told him.
"On Monday morning he went to buy coffee at Dunkin Donuts. When he
ordered his coffee the Lady looked at him strangely," Geyser's statement
read. "A while later he realized that his pants zipper was open. He was
horrified but felt too embarrassed to return to apologize. Shortly
afterwards the police arrested and charged him (with) indecent
exposure."*[Oops?]
*
Geyser's statement said Gatti was suspended "and will not be attending
this church," but offered no further comment on Gatti's future there.
The statement ended with a call for fairness, and an apology on behalf
of Gatti.
"Remember in the U.S.A. a person is innocent until proven guilty,"
Geyser wrote. "John apologizes for the embarrassment it has caused the
church and he wants to assure us of his innocence."
A woman who answered the phone at the church yesterday said Geyser
declined to comment further.
The following is the full test of the statement made by Pastor Thomas
Geyser of the Living Waters Christian Church on behalf of suspended youth
minister John Gatt:
On the evening of Monday June 26th John Gatti met with me to tell me
that a terrible thing had happened to him. This is what he stated.
On Monday morning he went to buy coffee at Dunkin Donuts, when he
ordered his coffee the Lady looked at him strangely. A while later he
realized that his pants zipper was open. He was horrified but felt too
embarrassed to return to apologize.
Shortly afterwards the police arrested and charged him for indecent
exposure. He was arraigned and will appear in court on August 15th.
At the present time he has been suspended and will not be attending this
church.
Remember in the U.S.A. a person is innocent until proven guilty.
John apologizes for the embarrassment it has caused the church and he
wants to assure us of his innocence.

Brief CV of Jusfiq Hadjar
Jusfiq Hadjar, a christian, 66 years old, is an Indonesian living in the
Netherlands. He currently lives together out of wed-lock with Marlene Van
Doorn - a documentalist in African Studies Center (ASC) library - in Leiden.
Jusfiq Hadjar has, thus far, succesfully deceived many NGOs into believing
that he is a human rights activistist. One of the NGOs that has been trapped
in his lies is a Muslim human rights group, the Movement against Racism and
for Friendship among Peoples.
Jusfiq Hadjar is very active in his campaigns against Islam and Muslims on
the Internet, especially in several Indonesian mailing lists. He will spread
massive amounts of offensive, slanderous, lying statements against Islam and
Muslims day in and day out and at the same time claiming that he is a
Muslim.
Undoubtedly, Jusfiq Hadjar is one of those people who still thinks that
adhering to a daily routine of cursing and swearing on the Internet would
help to make him look intelligent and preserve his sanity. It shoots no
wonder then if you find mosts of his writings on the Internet are just about
cursing and swearing at Muslims and licking the ass of his christian
friends.
Jusfiq Hadjar has joined several mailing lists in order to spread his severe
hatred against Islam and Muslim on the Internet:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/partai-keadilan/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ijtihad/<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/partai-keadilan/>
Marlene Van Doorn is very supportive of his life partner's evil activities
on the Internet, and gives her financial support by providing him with
meals, accomodation and Internet connection. He is also allegedly financed
by Leiden church.
He has no children.
