@watchkeep The other family was reported by the family they were living with at the time and were arrested. They are currently awaiting trial. Both times these abusers were reported by people other than the pastors who knew.
@watchkeep I feel like I will never trust a church again. We were a part of a home church once and TWO different dads who were there sexually abused their own kids and the pastors didn't report it. One family was reported to Mercy Culture and then moved out of state when CPS came.
@jztimm@TrinTinTi@watchkeep I have never been a fan of RM and I had issues with several pastors while I worked there. I also had wonderful experiences with my co-workers and other pastors who still love on my family even though we no longer attend.
@jztimm@TrinTinTi@watchkeep I see her point as well, but context was given that the original person got sick and at the last moment another person stepped in. If you have never worked at Gateway during Easter weekend, it's really chaotic. I am not a RM or Gateway apologist.
@SanchezMamacita@watchkeep@KenzeeLCN@TrinTinTi another consequence of Robert and Gateway's handling of other issues. It causes the benefit of the doubt to be taken away from any incident. It wasn't a pastor in that costume.
