'Many survivors of clergy sexual abuse have never received an apology or any acknowledgement of the harm they suffered. But at the May 3, 2024, meeting of the General Conference of the worldwide United Methodist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, the following resolution of apology to all survivors and their families was approved.
“The United Methodist Church apologizes for the times we allowed our desire to protect the Church to outweigh our desire to care for victims and survivors of sexual misconduct. We have allowed polity and protection of the institutional Church to prevent us from holding persons accountable, thus perpetuating harm within our local churches and other ministry settings, and damaging the whole United Methodist connection.
“We apologize for the times we have not listened to you, doubted your stories, ignored your wounds, and have not tended to your pain. We believe this has contributed to allowing an unsafe culture to exist.
“An apology is worthless without a commitment to the challenging work which must follow. The United Methodist Church pledges to:
1. Apologize in every annual conference across the connection.
2. Educate Church leaders regarding sacred trust in ministerial relationships and power imbalance within those relationships.
3. Provide healing resources to all affected in accordance with Complaint Procedures.
4. Develop a trauma-informed response to complaints of sexual misconduct.
“This apology alone is insufficient for healing. The United Methodist Church accepts our responsibility and publicly states our commitment to carry out the steps named to do no more harm. May God’s blessing and never-ending love guide our work and see it through.”
The apology statement was read in its entirety during General Conference. Plus all United Methodist bishops around the world are to read the apology at their own upcoming annual conferences. Visit www.umsexualethics.org for resources to help people who are victims or survivors, and for information regarding the reporting process.
The United Methodist News Service reported, “Delegates and other attendees at General Conference gathered outdoors on a terrace at the Charlotte Convention Center to lament damage done by sexual abuse involving the institution and some of its officials. The 150-200 attendees to the first of two lamentation services placed flameless candles in front of crosses adorned with broken pieces of glass to honor those who had been victimized.”

"Nor do we.. nor is an apology necessary." What was he going to reallyb say? Nor do we what?3Reply1 reply"Nor do WE need to apologize" sounds more highminded than "nor is an apology needed". He caught that before the words left his mouth."Nor the apology is needed" is truly a pinnacle of JW narcissism. They could've just skipped that sentence but someone decided it's necessary to get some extra assholeness into the talk. To let the am-haaretz remember who's daddy.' -

What makes a cult (in the pejorative sense)?
by Vanderhoven7 inmichael moore writes:.
a cult is an organization that enslaves minds and destroys families using cult mind control.
cult mind control involves orchestrated deception, social pressure, psychological abuse, and repetitive indoctrination (brainwashing) centering around an unchallengeable ideology enforced in a totalitarian way in a closed socially-separatist community setting.

Current cult members do not know how mind control works, for mind control does not work on people who know.
Mikki Willis now realizes he was in a cult, 'the far left cult'; 'cult members are not bonded by true love.' 1:39:20He lost a lot of people he thought were friends.He starts at 1:37:46 -

RFK Jr. Hits Back at Chris Cuomo After Being Labeled a ‘Conspiracy Theorist’
'Chris Cuomo, who once ridiculed people for not getting injected, broadcasted to the world that he is one of the “millions” who are suffering from vaccine side effects.'
“We know that vaccines can have unintended consequences, a.k.a. side effects… But nobody’s really talking about it because they’re too afraid of blame, and they just want it to go away,” Cuomo said. “But the problem is people like Sean and me and millions of others who still have weird stuff with their bloodwork and their lives and their feelings physically are not going away.”

'Legal professionals, particularly from LPB Law Group, led by Brian D. Kent, Esq., are actively engaged in filing claims for survivors of sexual abuse within the Jehovah's Witnesses organization.''Spearheaded by Brian D. Kent, Esq., LPB Law Group, LLC, not only navigates the intricacies of legal claims but also champions the cause of survivors, dedicating their expertise to the pursuit of accountability and redress for the injustices endured.'(generated by AI)'Survivors’ Lawyer Accused of Shocking Misconduct
As a victim of child sex abuse, Brian Kent naturally gained the trust of other survivors, becoming a go-to lawyer for their personal injury cases. The former Montgomery County, PA prosecutor served on the Board of Child USA, a think tank combatting child abuse, and received the National Center on Sexual Exploitation’s civilian leadership award.
His personal and professional background makes recent allegations all the more shocking. A leaked confidential complaint filed with the Disciplinary Board of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court in November of 2022 accuses Kent of engaging in a sexual relationship with a client. This behavior violates the rules of professional conduct for PA lawyers and is especially egregious given his client’s vulnerability as a victim of sexual abuse.
Commentary surrounding the allegation speculates on malicious misconduct and details a devasting blow to the civil cases of Scientology survivors. See the YouTube coverage linked below for more information.
In the aftermath of the revelation, Kent has parted ways with the law firm he cofounded – Laffey, Bucci, and Kent- and resigned from Child USA’s board. Founder Marci Hamilton called for a criminal investigation in a statement on Friday, April 26th. “There appears to be a pattern of manipulative and abusive behavior by Kent toward vulnerable clients nationwide seeking to find validation and justice in the legal system,” she stated.
“There appears to be a pattern of manipulative and abusive behavior by Kent toward vulnerable clients nationwide seeking to find validation and justice in the legal system,”
Marci Hamilton, Founder of Child USAIn October 2018, Catholics4Change hosted a webinar series in which Kent shared legislative updates, possible outcomes, and civil court options. His firm also briefly advertised on this blog and we included Kent as one of many legal resources until this past year when a survivor from the C4C community experienced unprofessional lapses in communication.

18. What do you learn from Marco and Sidse’s experience?
answer - JW writers are cowards, next time get to the root of the issue, tell us WHY their adult daughters left!
18 Consider the example of Marco and his wife, Sidse, whose two adult daughters left the truth. Marco says:
“From the day your children are born, you love them so much. You would do anything to protect them from harm.
So when they choose to leave Jehovah, it is heartbreaking.” He continues: “But Jehovah has been by our
side. He has made sure that when I am weak, my wife is strong, and when she is weak, I am strong.” Sidse
adds: “We would not have been able to endure if Jehovah had not provided us with the strength we needed. I
was strugglingwith the feeling that it was my fault, so I told Jehovah how I felt. After a short time, a sister
whom I hadn’t seen for many years came up to me, laid her hands on my shoulders, looked me in the eyes,
and said: ‘Remember, Sidse, it is not your fault!’ With Jehovah’s help, I have managed to maintain my joy in
serving him.”
Was it the religion's fault?
