Abuse of Faith 20 years, 700 victims: Southern Baptist sexual abuse spreads as leaders resist reforms

It is called the Southern Baptist Convention for a reason. The Convention has no control over individual churches. Each church has responsibility for it's own governance.(Biblical model by the way)

Just like anything else, there are perverts who sneak in.

Some churches are too spineless to deal with it and they die. People are not long taken in by that kind of crap. If they will tolerate that they will compromise the gospel and the kind of people who will attend a church like that won't also support it financially. They don't have the finances of the Catholics to fall back on. no one is sending them any money.

You might also note the prosecutions mentioned in the article. Southern Baptists generally tend to throw the bums out and see them prosecuted.

Also some people lie and claim abuse for attention or money

1. Nothing the convention can do about it

2. Always going to be churches that are not churches

3. Most of the time it gets prosecuted (if it is criminal not all harassment is criminal)

4. Some of it is made up

No wonder they attack the Southern Baptist Churches. The only major denomination to stand up against the Homerseckshual infiltration, maintain Biblical roles for men and women, and refuse to compromise with the Jesus is just "one" way to heaven crowd."

P.S. Just for perspective, we caught a pervert rubbing up against a little girl at our church many years ago. He went to prison for it (and other things that came to light as a result of us pressing charges). As far as I know he is still in prison. I never understood why no one beat the piss out of him in the parking lot when he got caught. God saved me from being the one because I might have killed him. There is always a gun in my truck.

Yes, the compromise of our leaders (religious, political, business) cuts across society.
