We really need to re examine the place of all churches in our community. They operate under old rules which may not be fit for purpose in a lot of ways. And no, none of them should be exempt from that magnifying glass.

There are NO grounds to exempt them, NONE. The fact they're attempting to get exemption is extremely suspicious; what have they got to hide?
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)

They are only concerned about the financial impact and bad press, they are trying everything to stop members leaving.
They constantly tell the members that all these allegations are lies.
Well it only looks worse if you ask me.
They typically try to settle as much stuff out of court as possible to reduce the negative publicity.
Also means the payouts are typically confidential as a result.

An excellent reason to conduct such things very publicly then, including any payouts.
Surely, as good christians they can have no possible objection to that....
