As far as some are not doing so, they are inviting the suspicion. So the proof lays upon the ministry.ochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910693449008506409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-11271063718103732852010-09-07T20:48:54.238-05:002010-09-07T20:48:54.238-05:00Anon 11:21 -- You don't have a clue and, as ...Anon 11:21 -- You don't have a clue and, as Valarie says, your script is old and tired. And I know you can't possibly back up your drivel because what you say has already been publicly refuted by New Tribes leadership. <br /><br />According to WESH-TV in Orlando, New Tribes Mission "doesn't deny it." And on video, a New Tribes spokesperson says this: "I'm ashamed that it happend at New Tribes.... The core of what's in there is accurate. There were people who had been abused and New Tribes did not respond the way they should have."<br /><a href="http://www.wesh.com/video/24846023/detail.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.wesh.com/video/24846023/detail.html</a><br /><br />And as reported in the Orlando Sentinel, New Tribes CEO Larry Brown said his organization will follow the recommendations GRACE made in its report.<br /><a href="http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/os-new-tribes-sex-scandal-20100902,0,62101.story" rel="nofollow">http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/os-new-tribes-sex-scandal-20100902,0,62101.story</a><br /><br />So, even the top leadership at New Tribes is now publicly acknowledging the truth of the GRACE report. It's only sad, cowardly, anonymous fools like you, Anon, who are STILL trying to discredit the New Tribes survivors. <br /><br />And by the way, Anon, New Tribes isn't "forced to follow" the GRACE recommendations. What New Tribes does now is up to New Tribes. Whether it will move beyond words and actually implement the GRACE recommendations remains to be seen. But make no mistake about it, New Tribes was the entity that commissioned this independent investigation from GRACE, and New Tribes itself has now publicly accepted the validity of the report.Christa Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560409585720043015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-67567381626356149722010-09-07T12:14:38.018-05:002010-09-07T12:14:38.018-05:00anon 11:21,

Sorry, but it is evident to all who were at Fanda that much of the content of the GRACE report is not true, just a witch hunt. GRACE has done a disservice to the victims and NTM by not looking into the accusations before publishing them as facts and handing out harsh recomendations that NTM is forced to follow. So don't believe everything you read, eh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-75893927976544601102010-09-06T16:26:38.302-05:002010-09-06T16:26:38.302-05:00Yes, Kari, I remember you.

I thought at the time that you were an extraordinarily strong and courageous woman, and I was certainly right about that!<br /><br />Kari was one of the survivors of the New Tribes Mission school, and she has worked hard to bring a measure of accountability.

This pattern is one reason why the Baptist system of insisting that abuse survivors go to the church of the perpetrator to report him is a system that will never work. It's like telling bloody sheep to go back to the den of the wolf who savaged them. Most sheep won't even get near the place. And those who try almost always have their fears realized -- they are wounded even worse than they were before.Christa Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04560409585720043015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874123597623259718.post-88633530896452423662010-09-05T20:37:03.934-05:002010-09-05T20:37:03.934-05:00You state: "GRACE sent initial questionnaires...You state: "GRACE sent initial questionnaires to 108 former students at the NTM boarding school. Fifty-six responded, yielding a return rate of 52 percent. This contrasted with the 3 percent return rate for an earlier survey that was done by NTM officials."<br /><br />Besides your observations, I would guess that this is also a reflection of the former students' distrust of organizational leadership that had failed them in the past.<br /><br />I commend your lucid essays.
