After a week-long trial, a jury found that the Wenatchee-based leader of the Assembly of Called Out Believers strangled and beat his ex-girlfriend, breaking her rib in the process
I believe her 1000%. Men think we find some joy in accusing them, he’s a freaking fake rabbi. You think she enjoyed putting her sex life on public record and detailing PTSD events in a public court in front of strangers, allowing anyone to pull script from this case? Allowing her full name out there in the open? No. That woman is BRAVE. AND IM PROUD OF HER. great reporting Dominic
Thank you for being in attendance through the entire trial. I am the last former husband of Maria Brunetto, and her personal close friend. You owe Maria (and I) an opportunity to tell her entire full story, that the defense attorney kept out of court, by using unethical legal tactics that the courts and prosectors abhore. Maria has so much to say that she was not allowed to say or talk about. Wow, who would guess that you can’t tell the entire full story and the full truth in a court of law? I have so much to say also. I know what happened from my end and have all the time-line via WhatsApp. I tried to stay in touch with her the whole time while she was up in the NW. I didn’t know where she was. She could not say. She could not tell me why she was there or who she was with. She was threatened and could not leave. I had no clue. She would send pictures but I couldn’t figure out where she was. Isaac would not let her. He would also take her phone from her often and clear messages and images and forward this information and images and video to himself from her phone. I know the whole story now. I help care for my former wife and my dear friend. She has serious PTSD, injuries, short term and long term memory loss (because of the near death beatings and slamming her head into furniture and the floor), issues from all that he has done to her, and the last 3+ years of 15 trial extensions, by his attorney, an absolute unethical legal tactic to keep his client out of prison and to try to let the crimes fade away. Not gonna happen. Isaac is a criminal. He has a history of lying, physical abuse to other women too. Broke his mother’s arm once (true). He is not Jewish. Not a Rabbi. Told Maria he was a Rabbi and because of this qualification they are now married in the eyes of G-d. Conned and lied to Maria to sleep with her and to carry on their relationship in secret. She lived with him in his trailer unless his children were visiting. Then she had another trailer on rental property during that time. He promised to marry Maria formally, not just verbally, and to give her children. He is a con-artist for the love of money, women abuser, pathological liar, womanizer (simultaneous relations with several women), false teacher, drunk, uses drugs, he is not a man of G-d, teaches replacement theology, lame peak bagger — not a real climber or alpinist. The list can go on and on. I can back it all up. This is not over. Justice will be served. Please contact me and Maria.
Happened to me after I left my husband with domestic violence and GCC sided with him. I was depressed and had mental health issues. He was full of Jesus and couldn’t understand why I’d accuse him. Except “I mentally might not be doing well”
I changed my last name since our interview…you interviewed me in 2021 I believe. My story ended in gunfire, and a pastor who didn’t believe me. My goodness, I hate that church
Thanks Dominic! I remember our interview well. Hoping one day to be a part of being more than afraid of GCC and retaliation, and be able to speak with my name wide open. I hate that years later, I still feel afraid.
I understand. Since you're both subscribers I can see both your email addresses and I can just shoot the two of you an email and put you in touch. That's totally private and you two can take it from there.
I’d love to hear one day “my victim has cancer. Just like mental health is a medical condition. My victim has cancer. Can’t be trusted”. Replace mental health w any medical issue. Is it the same? It should be.
Yeah. It is despicable that abusers, and their lawyers, can freely fabricate, exaggerate, discriminate and deliberately use a person's mental health medical condition against them as a slimy self-defense tactic to discredit their victim, and simply WIN in our "justice" system.
And sadly, the local media pushes the "woman with a history of mental health issues" line, and sets the stage for the perp to be the victim, in the dubious court of public opinion.
The problem w/these cults, whether "Christian" nationalist or not, is that women are the male's chattel and this "power breeds contempt" that these poorly socialized males feel free to express. Abuse of women is horrible enough, but then mix it with these male dominate cult tenets and all bets are off.
As one of the token Jews here in Wenatchee, I'll speak for all Judaism. "Messianic Judaism" IS NOT ANYWAY CONNECTED TO THE JEWISH FAITH-PERIOD. It is a Christian off shoot. Judaism DOES NOT, DOES NOT BELIEVE JESUS IS LORD-PERIOD; Christians do-PERIOD. IT'S SIMPLE BLACK AND WHITE REALITY HERE.
That this fellow and all such cult leaders parade around as Rabbis is a HIGH insult to Judaism. The reality of these "Messianic Jewish Syna(!!!)ogues" touting themselves as Jewish is a MOST EXTREME insult to Judaism-PERIOD.
This fake rabbi sounds like someone we could be seeing a Dateline show on someday. I hope not. It's a public service to get his name out there. He sounds incredibly unhinged and dangerous. Thank you, Dominick.
Thank you, Glenn. Tell her story. (With consent of course) Tell her story for all of us who can’t tell all of ours. It sounds like even if your marriage ended, you’re rooting for her. And that speaks volumes. Why you didn’t get called to be a witness is beyond me. I wish you could’ve backed her. She needs that.
Here’s some scripture, “Rabbi” 😂😂😂
Matthew 7 21-23
I Never Knew You
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Thank you. Trials like these can be time-consuming and emotionally draining too. But I think it was an important one to cover.
Well said, Erin!
The quote is "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." Interesting that he showed up at your office !?! Yikes.
I thought the same thing!!! Freaking scary!!!

Hi Mr. Simpson, thank you for your comment and for reaching out. I'll contact you via email.
A guilty man's favorite defense is accusing/claiming his victim has mental health issues...because it damages their credibility.
Happened to me after I left my husband with domestic violence and GCC sided with him. I was depressed and had mental health issues. He was full of Jesus and couldn’t understand why I’d accuse him. Except “I mentally might not be doing well”
I have a long, painful story of abuse as well.
I changed my last name since our interview…you interviewed me in 2021 I believe. My story ended in gunfire, and a pastor who didn’t believe me. My goodness, I hate that church
Oh yes, I remember. I hope you are doing well!
I understand completely and you don’t ever have to talk about anything you don’t want to!
Thank you.
Thanks Dominic! I remember our interview well. Hoping one day to be a part of being more than afraid of GCC and retaliation, and be able to speak with my name wide open. I hate that years later, I still feel afraid.
Obviously this is not my true name. But afraid to say my real one…
Erin, if you'd like me to put you and Claire in touch I can do that via email.
Sure can, just afraid of my name getting out there; but I am 100% open to speaking anyone who’s experienced the same gaslighting pain.
I understand. Since you're both subscribers I can see both your email addresses and I can just shoot the two of you an email and put you in touch. That's totally private and you two can take it from there.
Would love to talk to you about our common pain, just want to make sure we anonymously feel safe to do so. 🥰
It is difficult for me to talk about.
Stay strong, my friend. I have my own story too, so on at least one level, I get it.
Thank you.
I'm sorry that happened to you.
Exactly
