For decades, the findings show, Southern Baptists were told the denomination could not put together a registry of sex offenders because it would go against the denomination’s polity — or how it functions. What the report reveals is that leaders maintained a list of offenders while keeping it a secret to avoid the possibility of getting sued. The report also includes private emails showing how longtime leaders such as August Boto were dismissive about sexual abuse concerns, calling them “a satanic scheme to completely distract us from evangelism.”
For years, under their guidance, anyone who contacted the national office to report a suspected case of sexual abuse at a Southern Baptist church was either met with silence or told that the SBC had no power to take action against congregations that concealed abuses.
The SBC’s governing documents allowed for the removal of churches that ordained women or “endorse” homosexuality, but leaders said they had no such oversight when it came to churches led by convicted sex offenders. “Behind the curtain, the lawyers were advising to say nothing and do nothing, even when the callers were identifying predators still in SBC pulpits,” Guidepost found.
Others who raised concerns received no response at all. In 2013, an anonymous complaint was forwarded to Boto and Oldham alleging that a pastor at a large SBC church had sexually abused someone as a youth pastor. The tipster sent the complaint via the “contact us” link on the SBC’s website. Two months later, Boto told Guenther that he decided not to respond. Guenther agreed that saying nothing “may be the thing to do.”
>sure kids were abused but we didn't write it down so we couldn't get sued so it didn't happen

The church isn't Christianity.
The church is an instituton of normal people teaching Christianity.
Everything normal people do can be subverted by wicked people, degenerates and p*dophiles, just look at you politicians and schools.

>not all x >these things happen
so you are confirming religion is just a way to do bad things and not face any consequences so long as you can blame magic forces for your actions?

No just exposing hypocrisy. If every ship within miles is sunk and you isolating only one ship to talk about as being sunk, it illustrates a bias. That bias is what I am illustrating with this point.
public schools maintain a list of sex offender teachers secretly? There's no evidence for your claims - meanwhile southern baptists admit to molesting kids and covering it up - and you don't care.

>feminists corrupt Christianity >feminists use Christianity to create bad laws in the name of "protectin the chilluns" >feminists then use the violations of the laws they created to attack and demonize Christianity >Any Forums Christians remain gullible, retarded, and obedient to the social will of feminism while claiming they hate feminists never gets old lmao
Focus on the jews and freemasons who cover for their pedos in DC and Hollywood while sending satanists into churches to try to attack Christianity from within. That's what really happens
anyone that wants to hold power over you is a psychopath they crave power and control. rape and child abuse is more often about power and control, rather than actual sexual desire. the more power they get the worse they get the they feel as though they are in fact gods themselves and can do no wrong to the lesser people they victimize.
