I am not sayinbg it has not happened but I don't know if it (I can think of 3 major UPC PK's with the "woman" problem though that was covered up and swept very neatly under the rug. Recently in my circles (exUPC) I have heard of the same thing happening. A church being told that they should ignore or look past their pastor's sexual sin, forgive him, and still respect him, keep him in the pulpit, etc. Blows my mind if it is true!

It's a good thing that we don't know all of the happenings of the good ole boy networks. It's hard enough for people to keep the faith knowing what they do know.

actually because of this type of situation, most church insurance companies require that background checks are done on staff and volunteers....and if it isn't done, they won't cover any injury, lawsuit damages, etc...
And for what you guys have heard what happens to molesters in prison, yes it is true...I can ask about 800 guys when I next go for services at a local prison.

Why don't you see how many more times you can use the phrase "good ole boy network"?
We get your point. You're bitter. Move on.

This is a horrible thing to happen..My heart breaks for the child.
When I read the article in the Globe I was upset over the graphic details they told. I do not agree with that, for various reasons.
One thing is even more of her privacy has been violated.
The last 3/4 articles dealing with sexual crimes they have ran, they have been graphic.
What do you think?

I have mixed feelings about it. When there is confession involved it really does not seem needful to disclose such details to the public.

I haven't read this entire thread yet; but I just want to say that I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SUCH THINGS CAN HAPPEN! ARE THESE MEN ANIMALS? DON'T THEY HAVE SELF CONTROL LIKE THE REST OF THE HUMAN RACE?! IT ANGERS ME BEYOND WORDS!
