Yep. Wish there was as much attention to Planned Parenthood’s efforts to HIDE the sexual abuse of minors and protect the criminal activity of known child predators who impregnate minors. They’ve been repeatedly caught on tape coaching children to lie to avoid police investigation.

I find it strange that the author wouldn't quote the following passage:

"Do not receive an accusation against an elder except from two or three witnesses. Those who are sinning rebuke in the presence of all, that the rest also may fear." 1 Tim 5:19-20

That calls for a public rebuke.

In my Church I was subjected to a lengthy training session on spotting and reporting abuse. I was told that under state law I MUST report even suspected abuse to the authorities. I was given direct hotline numbers for doing so. And I was required to sign a stack of paperwork attesting to the fact that I had received this training.

And I’m just an usher.

Are you saying that you disapprove of the Seal of Confession?

Read about it here.

Unfortunately, parental supervision should extend to all phases of the Church experience as well.

We Must Report Sexual Abuse of Children in the Church


The verses that you have mentioned about not going to law and then calling them

Hypocrisy behind motivation to distort the truth.

You want to take every thing to the law? the law is now allowing homosexual marriage.

It would make more sense to report a bank robbery to Jessie James than it would to report an abomination to the government.

If the state promotes one abomination what is wrong with another?

It has been known for years that there are pedophiles among the clergy.

But people still put their children in their care.

For many years people have been going to college to learn how to be important and earn enough to live in luxury with out having to be responsible for them selves.

Religious institutions and government fits the bill completely.

In the case of religious college’s, faith comes from the heart, it can not come from any dam college.

Every one should spend at least ten years on a pick and shovel before they could even be allowed to get a job in either the Government or any religious institution.

Why any one who claim to believe in God would put their children in the care of Government or religious institutions is beyond my comprehension.
