I was sexually abused as a very young child too, not in church but family “friend”. This my frens is a very hard reality a lot of people deal with the hidden secret. Some people have blocked out all memory of abuse and it manifests itself it terrible ways, could be alcohol, drugs etc. This is life long trauma that you can only become a functional adult with the help of Jesus Christ. It is a very terrible thing. Much love to you PankekGirl ❤️
I understand your feelings. However, there are people's lives at risk who never did anything to deserve the fallout that will come from revealing names publicly. Families get torn apart and destroyed. Siblings, extended family members. Think about it. It isn't as straight forward as you suggest. Personally, I am for shining a light, but I have been both the child that someone tried to help, which resulted in a near death experience for me because it was obvious that I was the blabber, and the outsider who tried to help with disastrous results. It's different in EVERY case. Discretion is key. It doesn't help the children to hang their parent. But it certainly would help if family members would intervene, or put a stop to it without additional shame to the child.
I grew up Baptist, and had similar experiences. To this day I get creeped out by uber religious people.
I don't know how people can STILL be so adamant that religious people ( no matter which denomination) can't be sexual predators.
My stepmother is still saying that Duggar kid that's been in the news lately was set up because she can't believe holy rollers can do wrong.
🙄
My opinion is organized religion is ultimately about control, not the actual religion part, so any pattern of abuse etc therein fits the mold.
No one is preventing you from doing it now.
All your rationalizations is really just you giving into fear....and that's what they want.
Maybe your role in life was to experience this and stop it so other innocents don't have to suffer?
The authorities are in on it too. You awake?
Name names. I'm on your side. Let's get justice.

I am sick and tired of false accusations.
If there was a crime, let's hang them.
If you're making it up, let's hang you.
Sensitivity be damned. There are people out there eating kids and every last one of them needs an appointment with a tree and a rope.
But none of them are infesting the church. Thats just silly nonsense!
