Wives, Sisters, and Daughters, Please Speak

She said she'd accidentally opened the first one she received without checking the mailing address and was horrified that the large manila envelope contained images of men and boys engaged in sex. She asked me what she should do, and I told her to burn them.

You didn't advise her to take it to the police?

Looks like the death penalty for child molesters as well.

What I find interesting about the Heritage Christian Academy in Haslet, TX case is that it was the parents of a student who called the authorities - not the pastor/principal/father of the church whose son was arrested for the molestation or even one of their family members - not another teacher in the school - IT WAS THE PARENTS OF A STUDENT IN THE SCHOOL!

When I taught at a Christian school in the 1980s, I heard the church secretary quit. When I asked a mutual friend why that was, she said, "the preacher wanted to hire his son!" The same son who made advances to the secretary's daughter and others!!

This is repeated over and over again. Please watch over the victims.

Was this preacher’s son married? Was the secretary’s daughter married? Was she a minor?

Just trying to make sure of the full context, not doubting or denying there’s a certain element of IFBs (and others) that sweep wrongdoings under the rug by shipping offenders off to faraway unsuspecting locations.

I started this thread as a continuation of a conversation from my thread entitled "Dave and Paula's Wedding."

It has bothered me for years when "good men do nothing." Especially regarding the victims of sexual abuse in the IFB world.

Over ten years ago, I sat across from a pastor and his wife whom I knew when I taught at a Christian school. The Jack Schaap scandal came out the year before, and I read enough to feel confident that it was true. The pastor in Indiana said to me, "IF it's true....."

I looked him in the eye and said, "Oh, it's true."

We were both quiet after that. I was not going to back down. I saw the polished shaft "sermon" on youtube, etc.

All of that to say, I think the women who are sisters, wives, ex-wives, daughters of predators in the IFB should speak out. Please share your truth.

David's ex-wife publicly shared what she knew. Linda shared what she knew. There are the victims who spoke in "Let Us Prey."

If you know something or saw something and want to share it, please do so....either here or share where it will be heard.

It's time for "good women" to talk.

I would love to hear what Brenda Stevens Hyles has to say.

I live above an Hispanic family. I'm a day sleeper, but I was woken one day by a loud crying out, the woman living below me clearly in anguish. In the avalanche of words I could make out Señor, and Jesus (Hey-soose) several times. I began to pray for her.

She clearly believed the Lord was her deliverer.

We agree. Very well articulated.

“The same son who made advances to the secretary's daughter and others!!”

Does it matter at this point. Look at what he did. If a man or woman does this they should never be on a church staff in any role.
