Stop paying lawyers and expert witnesses. It was a power play, which posed as getting rid of those %%%%% liberals. It read: The Lord is in his holy temple, let all the earth keep silent before Him. People are drawn to that which fulfills their own needs, and if a church sets up a system where the set-up involves submission, chances are that is fertile ground for trouble and the abuses which occur. Even without intentions, entropy easily sets in over time and they can drift into serious Cult territory. I suppose that is the effect that Mohlers Calvinism (TULIP) has on his thinking (Total Depravity) ??? Yes, lawsuits against churches/para church orgs have increased. I would call the culling of those missionaries an attack against a healthy diversity within the SBC, and the missionaries belonged to a faith group that leadership no longer wanted to have influence in the SBC. Ted Cruz, and now 3. Not a place that showed him perversion. Gradually, they connected with others who identify as survivors. Some people have to face it very young.

What message does this send to our children about Christian leadership? A female doctor who had been a member of the church for 35 years. But maybe I missed it. Not sure how this is done without being in touch with ones own conscious and developing wisdom over time? The Fanatic Persecutor is Anti in the sense of being in direct opposition to, and comes from the Outside. . A message needs to be sent so that more children are not abused.a. Brian, you are partially getting it but not completely. I guess he wouldnt have clientel to train and make a salary from if he had a reputation for suing on behalf of victims. News Flash: These guys obviously do not believe this. I knew a lot of them in seminary. Much like turning the Titanic. but I wonder what a person does when their take on the Scriptures differs from what leadership tells them it means? But Im still a bit traumatized by the tour of his office, which had all manner of animal trophies. I pray frequently for Petes victims healing, and that Pete remains in jail while here on earth. Just? Killing just for pleasure and flaunting the evidence says a lot about those who do it. He does have a conviction about suing churches. Kanakuk said in its most recent IRS filing thatrevenues topped $31.6 million in 2019. That makes me wonder if he started a lot of what is wrong with our SBC churches today.

September 2009: Newman is arrested & thenreleased on$50,000 bond along with a court order not to be around children but he continues working at the church. The next year, we started going to dallas instead , time to stop trusting in these clowns who preach that they KNOW who is saved or who is a real Christian. These folks are not far from where they sat a three year old girl down across from her abuser and exhorted her to forgive him because shes a sinner too. I am sorry for being so cynical! yes, it came to me in a flash of brilliance that was a lot like the beginning of a migraine . It is really weird to hear missionaries speaking in tongues labeled as liberal. They need to be got out of positions where they can knowingly expose innocents to harm. Im not providing a link because its obvious that Kamp Kanakuk did a lousy, horrible job of stopping abuse and is now trying to avoid the very real consequences of Joe Whites decisionmaking with regards to Peter Newman. Sandy kicked the issue over to Richard Rieves. Almost as much as creating your own stained glass memorial and putting it on display while you are still in power.

I have yet to hear anyone else lay out how inadequate most churchs policies are for protecting kids, and why. Kanakuk has long been popular with Dallas families, in part becauseNorthPark Center is one of the stops on its charter-bus route. I am trying to wrap my head around this Christian lawyer who claims to be a victim advocate. They were told to sign or resign, and many had the integrity to resign. Kanakuk will forever grieve the victims of Pete Newman and their suffering and continue to pray for their healing and restoration. There are some decent people in church, and if we can teach them that is all to the good. NOT THE MORMON!

Curious, and from the tone of your comment, it doesnt sound like the same thing as a closed table where only members of that particular church are welcome to take communion. Honestly, people told me the same thing, too, about being a missionary, even without knowing me. Well in a word yeah. Any decent person would want to protect children. That bears repeating along with a warning that everyone is susceptible to being conned, especially the people who think it can never happen to them. Is there a shortage of lawyers who will sue on behalf of victims? There are also the issues of personal holiness, attitudes toward education and science and family, and if I were not still sleepy I could think of some more. He ends up protecting a non profit institution that he thinks is automatically the body of Christ yet has no problem suing JWs .and did I understand the Catholic Church?

When we were attending a church that became part of Harvest Bible Chapel our kids went to a weekend youth camp.The leadership requested no cell phones allowed.Since my daughter went along and she was almost 18 we let the younger sibling go also with the stipulation that they were to keep the cell phone for emergencies only(meaning if the younger handfull acted up,we could intervene ) The handfull took the phone out and played games on it and got in trouble with a bunch of other kids.We all got a good smack down in that weeks sermon,even to the point of questioning our Christianity.At that point I knew that I didnt want to be apart of that church. There seems to be a lack of wisdom or even common sense in large swaths of Christendom these days. There really are three different services we are talking about here that maybe should not be covered by the same company.
