This is patently false. All 412 cases were most certainly not covered up by the pastor. Many were properly reported to the authorities. Others were dealt with in church discipline as the pastor deemed appropriate. This is not a wise decision by those pastors, but it is not a cover-up. Granted...

Perhaps I misunderstood you when you said that her "loose" reputation is "not relevant to the statutory rape whatsoever - Not in the slightest." Would you mind to clarify? 

So, your position is that the statutory rape of a minor had no bearing whatsoever on her future actions as a young adult? Are you saying that she bears some of the responsibility for the actions of her attacker?

I do not know her, personally, so I cannot comment on her reputation. It was mentioned above by WESLEY: which seems to indicate that he was speaking of her college years.

Is it possible that the abuse by DH was the catalyst for JER's "being loose" later? I know this is very common. Not having been subjected to abuse myself, I cannot speak firsthand, fortunately.  I can, however, relate the story of a young lady who was abused as a pre-teen and then led a very...

Are we to believe that you have intimate knowledge of each and every one of these 412 cases? I find that rather hard to believe. If not, then you have no credibility to say that not one of them have been handled properly or scripturally.

How do you know? What do you have, other than your opinion, to substantiate your claims that abuse cases among the IFB are rising? Most of the cases are decades old. That would seem to indicate that there were more then than there are now. Let me be clear, I am against all forms of sexual...

All of the organizations you named above had wide-spread abuse occurring within its ranks. In comparison to the number of IFB churches, a very small percentage of its leadership have been involved in anything immoral. Yes, every instance is deplorable and needs to be prosecuted, but the degree...

I don't think it is a deflection as much as it is pointing out that the IFB is being targeted in these reports when the expos? could have been much more broad.

The fact that she has not heard back from him in no way indicates that he has not dealt with the issue within the leadership of the church. How could he possibly make DH make this wrong right? All he can do is make sure that any  situations like this in the future (God forbid) are dealt with...

I agree, it's staggering. It makes it so that you can literally trust no one. I'm thankful that my kids are all grown. Suffice it to say that my response would not have been the same as Wendell Evans.

Thank God there is hope for anyone. "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will...

According to 1 Cor. 6, believers are not to take one another to court. Obviously, this passage has been abused and misinterpreted and not followed as God intended. Where does a church or a pastor draw the line here? Given the number of sexual offenses being reported today, is it even possible...

While I believe that these acts are heinous and despicable, and I would like to see all of these predators prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, I also understand that this is not limited to the IFB churches. If these investigative reporters would look into any denomination or movement...
