They cannot process evil in their own institution. <br /><br />They are also convinced that if someone says they follow Christ then that is all that is needed. <br /><br />The victims are guilty of bursting their bubbles.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-32937220246367970392011-04-03T12:20:16.235-05:002011-04-03T12:20:16.235-05:00This is a true, though very troubling, analogy. I...This is a true, though very troubling, analogy. It's easy to confront the evils of the world, when they convince themselves they're holy and righteous, and the rest of the world is going to hell. When that evil is in their front yards, it's shameful, embarrassing, and humiliating. So, they do everything within their power to discredit the courageous sexual abuse victims who come forward. Rather than honor God by ministering to the victims and establishing critical measures to protect kids, they post the sexual predator's bail, crowd the courtroom in support of him, and issue statements from the Chairman of the Deacons saying that the church knew nothing about the abuse and they are praying for the PREDATOR (not the victims). It stirs in me a righteous anger that makes my blood boil.Wendy Stubblefieldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-32314738085946714872011-03-30T09:49:31.786-05:002011-03-30T09:49:31.786-05:00to use an expression the PA Dutch use around here....to use an expression the PA Dutch use around here....'I cry for their sad'.Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14287402498994673396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-81691997924735112882011-03-29T21:37:45.662-05:002011-03-29T21:37:45.662-05:00Very powerful.Very powerful.Valarienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-57441316541477320142011-03-29T20:58:36.184-05:002011-03-29T20:58:36.184-05:00I wish you would post all your blogs on Face Book....I wish you would post all your blogs on Face Book.
