... but as this has continued it has become so petty and so ridiculous ....
Certainly you aren't saying that allegations of child molestation or incest or unbiblical divorce are petty.
I could care less about allegations, they are a dime a dozen and mean nothing if they are not true.
I would dare to say, that Bob Pickle could care less about any "alleged" victims. His whole focus is accusing Danny Shelton and the 3ABN board of covering up such. That's it, just something to accuse Danny Shelton and the board with. How will that stop an alleged child molestor, or help alleged victims?!?
Truth is it won't. No one in their right mind goes after an alleged "child molester's" employer (actually former employer) while ignoring the "alleged child molestor" and alleged victims.
That is absolutely ludicrous.
Why would I say this? Well there aren't even any alleged children who have been molested at 3ABN... or while TS was working there... or even within the SDA Church, nor is TS even a member of the SDA Church and subject to investigation or discipline by our Church.
Pickle and Joy have allegedly gathered the info and the facts, but have they taken them to the police or the Prosecutor? Have they encouraged the "alleged" victims to proceed with any kind of action?
Truth is Tommy Shelton is a member of the Church of God, the allegations were brought up there, and investigated there and by the police over 20 years ago. As far as I know regarding any new allegations goes (and I don't count old accusations being brought back up as new allegations like Pickle does) , well last I heard Dryden, the one who brought all this up, and Pastor of the Church of God, (who would have the right to act in this matter,) still hadn't even told his Church board who any victims even were.. so even they could not act, and nor could TS explain or defend himself with any specifics. And last I heard the DA knew about all this junk and said there was nothing to act on...
When it was brought to the attention of the 3ABN board, their Chairman investigated and found nothing to act on, and told Pickle that, but that wasn't good enough for Pickle...
Them's the known facts people.
If Pickle and Joy know something they haven't told, if the Pastor of the COG, Glenn Dryden does, and they aren't doing anything about it, or trying to help any 'alleged" victims, then they are the ones covering up and hiding things, and they are the guilty ones. And if they do not have allegations with substance which can be verified by identified victims accounts and such, then they have done a terrible wrong to not only DS and 3ABN, but to Tommy Shelton himself who has been maligned and vilified and not able to address or answer any specific accuser or evidence... as it's all just done in the dark and from the shadowns anonymously.
That is terrible.
That's why I get so sick of the way Mr Pickle keeps bringing this up and finding fault with others. He and Joy took it on themselves when they decided to investigate, now they are accountable.
