That may be too negative with regard to religion but I've seen so much venom from the so-called religious in my 72 yrs. that despite my love for some folks that cling to their religion I maintain my thinking that that is a true statement.JEBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-81820689687365037992010-12-20T15:04:22.893-06:002010-12-20T15:04:22.893-06:00Wow....what a blessing, to find an honest truth-te...Wow....what a blessing, to find an honest truth-teller to talk to and read. What a blessing! Blessings to you too! And all Whistle-Blowers. I'm gonna hang with you by following you.

I came out of a cult type religion (Mormonism) where sexual abuse was ignored until it began to cost them money and public relations points.<br /><br />Still they would rather it just go away than have to deal with it.<br /><br />It's so very sad and destructive that fundamentalist type religions will do and say almost anything to silence critics even when the critics are telling the truth. You keep on speaking out! You have alot of support out there!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-5624602378862429532010-12-18T19:51:24.012-06:002010-12-18T19:51:24.012-06:00Christa, you are an incredible force for good.

If "Billie" and others like him/her would direct their venom and bile toward SBC leadership they could become part of the solution, rather than continuing to be part of the problem.Jimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-63361946952518580912010-12-18T11:30:10.595-06:002010-12-18T11:30:10.595-06:00Yeah, the whole checking for criminal records is p...Yeah, the whole checking for criminal records is pretty worthless actually. Imagine the number of criminals of all kinds of crimes that have never gotten caught, or if caught, people wouldn't testify against them, or there was not enough evidence, etc. All kinds of reasons people get away with all kinds of evil.<br /><br />Like with getting on a sexual predator list-you probably have to try really hard for a long time to achieve that.<br /><br />So when people like you make evil more visible, the evildoers and their supporters basically say, "How dare you tell the world what we're up to!"<br /><br />It's truly sick.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-71303724623555167732010-12-17T20:12:54.161-06:002010-12-17T20:12:54.161-06:00I guess if we were not being effective, if we were...I guess if we were not being effective, if we were not raising awareness and helping people come to terms with what happened all those years ago, these maniacs would not be coming after us. <br /><br />No one can change your truth, no one can excuse the criminal act and the organization that supported the criminal. <br /><br />I wear their slurs proudly.

The reason people spew hate, and lies, ...Christa..<br /><br />The reason people spew hate, and lies, about you and those trying to acknowledge the evil within the pews, is that they are fearful of the unwanted attention they are receiving from you and people like you. For when you expose "them," and those who support "them," they surely chance losing whatever benefit they have grown accustomed to. <br /><br />It is always easier to attack the messenger than to listen, research, and understand the message for what it is. It is also preferable, for many, to protect the guilty rather than defend the innocent.<br /><br />You are making progress and I expect you will see more hate directed your way as you make more progress at chipping away at the Baptist monster machine. <br /><br />Just know, when more hate comes your way, you have me and MANY others who stand beside you (not behind you propping you up) in this cause. I am available to help whenever and wherever I can.<br /><br />We will overcome!John Doenoreply@blogger.com
