Church leaders held meetings where children were told to forgive the man who sexually abused them and forget the abuse. An internal church document also suggests that, when appropriate, both parties be brought together for a discussion.propublica.org/article/minneso#News #Minnesota #Duluth #Abuse #Church #Religion #Law #Crime #Epstein

@ProPublica How about forgiving the creep as a Christian thing and also reporting the creep to the police as a civic-responsibility thing? Like the story about a guy beating a donkey that refuses to move. Some one says "you should reason with the donkey." Reply: "Let's see you get it to move." So, this second guy beats the donkey furiously, then whispers in its ear, and the donkey moves. "I thought you said to reason with it." "Yes, but first you have to get its attention."
