We strongly believe victims need and deserve sympathy along with loving personal support and are already committed to doing what we can to render such assistance.
And how and what type of personal support do they provide? Is there training provided to elders on how to provide support of sexual abuse?
How about someone test the system. If there is anyone here who is still active or even semi-active who has experienced abuse even if it was a long time ago, maybe they could go to the local elders and ask for some personal comfort and support and see what happens.
Read your bible more
Pray more
Get to all the meetings
Get out in service more
Stay busy and you wont have time to think about how you were raped is the personal comfort that you will probably get. Not very comforting in my opinion.
It would be interesting to see if anything changes when a vicim does come forward in the future. Will they stop trying to cover up? Will the victim continue to be silenced?
