There is a difference between suspecting something and actually knowing or reading in plain English what you feared or intuitively felt…but once you read it it doesn’t go away.
It nestles up closely with the feelings and they become one.
The truths click together like a magnet and you can’t force them apart.
What I now know is that the Christian neighbors who toot their high moral and high value ways are not able to walk the walk of morals and values.
Adults in my childhood world crumbled and their character turned to ash…this I felt about 6 years ago… without proof I had felt deep to my bones that they knew and did nothing. They were no better than my mother.
Jim Torola’s blog, has an interesting view of the members of the FALC and child sexual abuse, and he shows that my family and neighbors are not unusual, but perhaps this is an ongoing practice, handed down from generation to generation whose legacy are tainted with abuse. http://jimtorola.typepad.com/blog/
What I too find so telling is the longevity and the multiple families who happened to all deal the same way, like there is an unwritten or unspoken rule, just a knowing…keep it quiet and away from the hands of the police.
Detective Tom Rosemurgy speaks of what makes his job of getting the pedophiles off the street so difficult.
“…without somebody with first hand knowledge (a victim) stepping up first, my hands are tied. Most folks in (or out) of the church aren't too willing or eager to speak on such matters. And If I try to start there, more often than not, the victims are taken care of with threats before I can speak with them. I am always more satisfied with results when I can speak to a victim before the predator or the predator's family knows I am out and about.”
The last line is so haunting…
It seems literally a miracle that a child would step up and speak out when the whole family and church are trying to keep this away from the police.
Hear that, they are trying to keep this info away from the law. And in my case, oh my, did they do a good job. For forty year they dodged the law.
Now tell me who all should be sitting in jail???
The law is simply not the normal course of action for sexual abuse within the FALC. And it hasn’t been for years and years….
I know this, for No one called the police. NO One….come on people what is up with that???
They will use the law for car wrecks, breaking and entering of their homes, but no report is written up when the children are broken into and wrecked, NO one calls the police.
Am I the only one who can see the insanity of this?
In my little corner of the world, I would have presumed many things about the good people of my church, I had them with a rock solid moral compasses, with values that were of a higher standard than the run of the mill criminal, now I am no longer sure as to who they are.
What does it say about you if you are not sharing information about criminal sexual conduct against a child, be it your child or the neighbor’s child, be it a Christian or non believer? What does it say about your moral compass if you willingly keep this away from the hands of the law???
Are you not aiding and abetting criminals?
I have made a general sweep of the congregation of the FALC as being co-conspirators for pedophiles. How they are knowingly hiding them among their pews…by NOT going to the police. And it wasn't just my family, it is many families through the ages.
I do know and have known that the major factor in these sex rings is that the predator is a family member and the families are ‘in good standing’ among the church members and the church is one of ‘high morals and high values’ and this would not sit well to uncover pedophiles within.
What I had said in the very beginning of this was that I trusted a whore. She didn’t act or portray anything else. She was a whore, charged for sex as whore does, but she wasn’t sitting in church on Sunday proclaiming her piety.
What totally blows my mind is that people who sit in church on Sundays, and then act like criminals. Who are you?
I love ducks that act like a duck, walk like a duck and quack like a duck.
Which is why I sought out nature… nature always was what you seen….a tree remained a tree no matter what time of the day or day in the week it stayed the same when I looked at it. I loved its stability…The FALC and its members are total contradictions…
