A sprawling investigation into all kinds of religious and secular youth-serving organizations would be a challenge to conduct.
Attorney General Josh Shapiro’s office declined to comment when asked whether a broader investigation were merited.
The attorney general would need to spare investigators on a long research project that, like the Catholic investigations, may yield lots of history but not many prosecutions due to the criminal statute of limitationsFurther, few religions are as centralized or as fastidious about record keeping as the Catholic Church. Each diocese has archives of personnel files and other records, including candid internal documents that bishops and other administrators never assumed were going to be made public. That’s a potential target-rich environment for investigators.
While some religions have similar hierarchies, many of their records are kept at headquarters in other states, such as the Jehovah’s Witnesses in New York and the Mormons in Utah.

51 years ago this day in 1967.
Was it 53 years ago this day in 1967? Or 51 years ago this day in 1969 when you were released?I threw myself into Full-Time door to door ministry until I crashed and burned and had a quiet nervous breakdown.
Why were you not pioneering at 20? If the answer is in the book, don't answer, I'll read it for myself. -

he has tried to get back on facebook and it appears there is no way for him to return.
people are being removed from social media platforms simply because they have a different political view.
