<p>I feel you. We should call people out, once we know for sure that they have done something. As long as we follow the protocol the bible sets forth. The bible says that we do handle the situation one-on-one first. We cannot allow emotion to take charge of the situation. Even if someone goes to prison for those types of allegations, the prison keeps them separate from the other prisoners, because they would be killed. </p>

<p>Let us also not forget that prayer is important. We are to pray for everyone, including our enemies. If we do not pray for our enemies, and release forgiveness upon their lives, we will not be forgiven ourselves. Although we must not forget to take care of the child and love them, we must also love our enemies. This is not easy, but it is a command. We must find a way to make both parties whole.

<p> God will judge all sin to include sins committed by the church. When you give man all power and authority (reverend them) there is a price to pay. Accountability. Hold them accountable.

Sometimes we forget that people who commit crimes will one day be held accountable.</p>

<p>Bless you bro.Gill for speaking up on a reality so wrought with ________________ we can all fill in the blanks.</p>

<p>Isaiah 58:1 says "Cry aloud,and spare not,lift up thy voice like a trumpet,and show my people their transgression and the house of jacob their sin.[kjv]</p>

<p>I am glad you kept saying ALMOST in the post,as we one by one continue to "cry aloud" soon we will have a thousand voice or more choir speaking AGAINST harbouring/sheltering the abusers and doing something definitive about it.</p>
<p>Stay encouraged bro.Gill</p>
