Any SDA pastor or church employee would be placed on administrative leave if a young adult woman would have filed an affidavit alleging unwanted sexual advances. An investigation would then take place, by a disinterested third party.
Administrators and board members at 3ABN are familiar with how any ministerial organization would handle such accusations.
No actions were taken by 3ABN's board of directors when the president of 3ABN had such an affidavit made against him.
This clearly appears to be a coverup and an abuse of power.
Those are the things which occur or could have occurred when someone proceeds with a complaint against another.
But an affidavit by itself does not prove guilt or innocence...
And how would you have justified putting
anyone on a administrative leave of absence pending an investigation, when you weren't able to proceed with an investigation, and were actually prevented from doing so by the alleged victim, Crystal?
IOW How do you conduct an investigation when the affidavit writer and those behind her writing it were only willing to mail it to those who could do nothing about it, and then complain and gripe and accuse because nothing was done? How would you proceed when they were not willing to file a police report or cooperate with an investigation or even talk to anyone on the 3abn board about it, or proceed in any kind of way beyond the mass mailings to those who were uninvolved? (those who also couldn't have done anything without the alleged victim's cooperation -- even if they did have the authority to proceed with an investigation and did have a say so about what to do the parties involved?)
How do you justify taking action against
anyone without an investigation of the circumstances, or being allowed to question both the accuser and the accused unless you are an Inquisitor or a live in a communist or fascist state, Crystal?
I say
anyone, because what we are talking about here is not just DS, these principles apply to
anyone, including YOU. Should you be put on leave of absence pending an investigation when there is no way for that investigation to happen? Should you be fired even tho you claim to be innocent just because someone writes a affidavit against you, and then won't talk about it, or cooperate with a investigation and you never get the chance to face your accuser? Should you be considered guilty without proof or do you want to be considered innocent until proven guilty?
There is no need to answer this. I am sure that all here know in their hearts, even if they will never admit it, that they would not want that for themselves, or their loved ones, even those who wish that upon DS, or another.
If you want to ask Danny Shelton something "CRYSTAL", THEN GO DO SO, PLEASE.
If you have something to report to the Police, "CRYSTAL",THEN GO DO SO, PLEASE.
If you have something to bring to the 3abn board's attention or Danny's church, or the board member's churches, then take it there, tell it to them, let them handle their members, and if they don't? then complain to their conference, and BE SPECIFIC, and let them handle their members, and their member churches . That's the way it works. If they do nothing? then maybe you have a reason to be publicly saying something,
but you still need to be specific.All your posts are is ugly innuendo and a smear campaign and fodder for the masses who love to believe evil of another. Those who eat this kinda gossip and rumor up like it's an essential part of their daily diet.
Others here may think your post content is all fine and dandy and that the end justifies the means but I disagree.
This is not the right way to do things, and what you are doing here is not even remotely christian to me.

P.S. I know who the real Crystal is and you and I both know you are not her.
