00:00 Heavy accusations against ex-chocolate bar Jörg Lederach, an SRF documentary suggests
00:05 to have suspended beating penalties in his free church school.
00:09 "My punishment was, I had to watch how my colleagues were beaten.
00:14 Or, you had to bend over the bed, the pants down and then it just hit. "
00:21 That's what people who grew up in the free church of ex-chocolate bar Jörg Lederach say.
00:27 An SRF documentary suggests that he has suspended and executed beating penalties in his private
00:34 church school .
00:37 Experts recognize in the former Lederach church the characteristics of a sect, SRF theologian
00:42 Judith Wipfler speaks of a group that has been "capsuled" and followed strong leaders.
00:48 The alleged abuse of power also speaks for it.
00:52 No edge phenomenon, sects are still many in Switzerland.
00:58 Georg Otto Schmidt from the information center Relinfo speaks of at least 250.
01:06 But it is probably several hundred.
01:08 The worst overall reports of experience come from the community Children of God, says the
01:14 expert.
01:15 The founder of the sect called on members to rape children.
01:20 How dangerous the individual sects are, but depends on the respective situation of the
01:26 members.
01:27 An example, the Jehovah's Witnesses.
01:30 They are counted among the so-called sects in general rather among the harmless,
01:37 explains Schmidt.
01:38 This changes at a time when a member urgently needs a blood transfusion,
01:44 blood transfusions are rejected by the Jehovah's Witnesses.
01:47 Then a membership can end deadly.
01:51 It was similar with the Free Church quasi-zabantu mission, to which Lederach's school Domino
01:57 Survived belonged.
01:58 Anyone who became a quasi-zabantu as an elderly person, usually got no problems.
02:04 It looked different with children and their parents, because of the obligation to physical
02:10 breeding and with young people because of the marriage.
02:13 Marriages should also have been arranged at Lederach's Free Church.
02:17 Adults can also be affected, such as in tantric organizations.
02:22 Here you hear again and again that participants are forced to have sex with people they do not
02:29 want to.
02:30 As a result, violence is rejected by all sects in Switzerland today.
02:36 But some do not understand the physical breeding of children as violence.
02:41 But as a necessity for a successful life of the children.
02:47 Sect leader Ivo Sasek put it this way, "Real torture to the children is, if we do not
02:53 beat them with the rod."
02:54 The number of communities that teach physical breeding, however, decreases with loudness.
03:01 Lederach and his wife reject the accusations, abuse, violence and discrimination in every
03:07 way.
