A reporter is interested in talking to you!
Here is the what prompted it....taken from EX-Toots blog.
"Paris Achen, a reporter at the Columbian newspaper, is working on a story about sex abuse in Clark County, Washington, and would like victims to contact her. Their names and relationships will not be published. She can be contacted at 360-735-4551."
"My understanding about what gave rise to this reporter's interest is her surprise at the number of supporters attending a hearing for a child rapist."
"They were OALC churchmembers there to support him. Not the victims." Ex-toot
Imagine the impact the churchmembers had upon the victim and the family? How more blatant can they be? How can you spin this a different way? What possible "faith" type words can be added to explain their lack of concern and outrage?
I am hopeful that this reporters phone will be ringing off the hook.
This also affirms my experiences of the church and its members....and I am happy she felt it so abnormal, it is worthy of research.
If at anytime you wanted to share your story, now is the time to lend your support for the victims. It isn't that they are being treated differently, this is the norm within the churches....of these similar faiths.
We all have the choice of who we stand with.
