Finding Life Beyond Church

@SOSCSAorg @antifaoperative @SBCExecComm I mentioned the Independent Fundamental Baptist in another reply. There’s so much abuse within that system as well. There are too many denominations and divisions, but keeping all of their names in the conversation helps, I think.

Arkansas baptist pastor, Rocky Goodwin, has been arrested for viewing, possessing & distributing images of children being sexually abused.

@SOSCSAorg @antifaoperative @SBCExecComm I agree. I wanted to bring those associations to your attention as well so they can be added to the list of organizations that need to be investigated. The children need to be protected and they only want to protect the organization and the pastors.

@SOSCSAorg @antifaoperative @SBCExecComm Because they are smaller than the SBC they fly under the radar.

@SOSCSAorg @antifaoperative @SBCExecComm This was a Missionary Baptist Church.Not associated with the SBC. It is part of the Baptist Missionary Association (BMA). A small Baptist organization that is more fundamental than the SBC.Don’t get me wrong, the SBC needs to do something but the BMA needs to be looked into too.

@SOSCSAorg @antifaoperative @SBCExecComm There’s also the ABA which is the American Baptist Association. Very similar to BMA but they split years ago due to missionary money differences. There’s the Independent Baptist which are all autonomous and run by their own rules. They all need to be investigated.

@rimmer51927 @antifaoperative It was made after the arrest. The news outlets had already reported his arrest but this post was made the day before the court documents were made public.

@antifaoperative Was that post made before or after his arrest and everyone finding out what he’s doing in private

@reachjulieroys @bozlawpa @johnnarae @DianeLangberg I’ve known this many my entire life. His reach within the Baptist Missionary Association organization is huge. All of the pastors looked up to this man. So sad and so scary. thv11.com/article/news/l…

Traumas suggest we are worthless and do not matter. Talking tells the truth and gives dignity because the story matters as does its impact.

One of the characteristics of dealing with trauma is the repetitious nature of that work. Survivors will say the same things over and over. They will be repetitious in dealing with their emotions. They will repeat their losses again and again.

I received this jewel from an angry reader. “You are stepping on dangerous territory by judging a God called Minister”. Isn’t it obvious that elevating pastors to such an untouchable position is what has allowed them to continue their abuse? Calling out abuse isn’t judging…
