Highway probably went the normal progression into religious fanaticism. Heavy Drug use -- total failure and then going door-to-door at $6 an hour littering and handing out junk. If he can deflect criticism and spout the same garbage answers to real problems he may get that salary increase to $7 an hour.
I see these people on street corners -babbling idiocies to imaginary listeners. As long as they stay away from your valuables - its all good.
Never even smoked cigarettes Westy. You are correct that my worship/religion was progressive, I always had a love for God, but actually didn't make the truth my own until around the year 2000, I have been a dedicated witness since then, although I look forward to the day when I no longer have to sin.
If, a child comes to you with that of being sexually abused, and you do nothing to protect the child or investigate the truth of the matter, you are nothing less than an enabler, while letting the abuse continue. Claiming you are protecting them under the guise of a two-witness rule or merely kicking the perpetrator out of your group is ludicrous. They need to be held accountable. The only thing you have accomplished is that of concealing the matter from the authorities for your Organizations name sake!
I am beginning to think you have abused others, and are only concerned with your own reputation. Most children do not make false accusations. Adults are a different matter, as many of them lie through their teeth, while flapping their gums to conceal that which is unacceptable. Disassociating yourself from them did absolutely nothing in seeking or getting to the truth, neither does it protect other children who may end up being abused by this same person. And, it is unlikely that you will ever have two-witnesses, when it comes to child-abuse, other than that of the victim and predator themselves.
It would depend on the circumstances on what I would do. You can think what you want about me, don't matter in the least, you and I are very different people. I personally think you a very sick individual, but of course who am I. You have to answer for yourself sir.

You condone priests diddling little boys en masse and you call Peachy a sick individual? So typical of ignorant zealots.

You should learn to read a bit closer, it was I that he referred to as a sick individual. Yet, it could have been one of his daughters in a alley, where two teen aged girls were being raped by eleven men. No doubt he would have run scared, instead of intervening. Of course, I would not expect him to do what I did, but then I doubt he is ex - Special Forces with a certain skill set of taking out those who are wicked.

I know I certainly don't want to. We try to change lives by changing one heart at a time, hoping they will come to love Jehovah and follow the laws of the Christ sir. By doing that, less crimes will occur.
Think about this, what if you saw a gang related murder, or worse yet a mob related murder, would you want to testify? It is a sad state of affairs in the world, but if prophecy is true, you haven't seen anything yet. The love of the greater number has already cooled off, but it is spiraling downward sir.
I would have no problem testifying, especially - if I witnessed the act or something for myself.
Neither, would I fail to report what a young child has said - when it comes to sexual abuse.
But you can pray that I do not witness someone sexually abusing a child for myself?
"god" is the excuse for most wars, Christians have fought many wars to kill Infidels - Allah blessed 9-11. We put a Catholic as head of Vietnam which was 98% non-catholic. The Church assisted with the genocide in Rwanda - even recently.
Why not make excuses for each of these events instead of your usual drivel?
I'm catholic and it is bad, many catholics leave the church over this. I don't downplay it but the media stretches the truth so just keep that in mind. For all people who feel down and lose morale because of the wolves in sheeps clothing, remember that 1 person that Jesus chose as an apostle also betrayed Him: Judas
I would ask what is the excuse that they are still a Catholic.
If it were me I would be to ashamed to even tell anyone.
I would ask Protestants the same question, " Why are Proestants still Catholic?
