Ok, Horsethief.  I will give you that.  However, we "pay" those leaders to lead with our tithe.  Joe Blow who throws his wife over for Gidget, gets disfellowshipped, at the very least censured.  A teen age girl gets pregnant and she most defintiely get disfellowshipped, without the father if he is a member.  Nobody stands and waits to see what happens.  But in celebration of our new peaceful existence and you extending me a second chance, I will give you the benefit of the doubt.  You just might know what you are talking about.  :-)


Wait a moment Princess Di and Christian...

I know how frustrating it is to look and see those 3ABN banners at the General Conference sessions and in other places and feeling that anxious rush that says "DON'T THESE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND?"

But let's also take into account that many of our leaders probably have a good handle on things and they realize that a this can of worms only opens from the inside. I've heard that one very influential church official whom I won't name commented of Jim Gilley. "You know that yellow streak that runs down Danny's back? Well, Jim Gilley shares that."

That statement clued me into something... It tells me that our church leadership is quite confident that the unravelling of 3ABN is imminent. That it's only a matter of time until their arrogance and manipulations cause them to implode.

Just be patient. I personally don't think they can recover from this child molestation scandal. Especially if it becomes a civil court action.
