The SBC's sexual abuse hotline isn't so hot.
Hundreds of submissions, yet after 2 years, not a single abusive pastor publicly outed.
Questions need answers: How many indpt investigations? Any? How many reported pastors placed on leave? Congregants fully informed? #ThisistheSBC
NC pastor had 10,000 child sexual abuse images on his computer. He watched 'while multitasking & completing church business.' His church, New Vision Baptist Fellowship in Granite Falls, shows as affiliated with Southern Baptist Convention. #ThisistheSBC wbtv.com/2024/04/29/cou…
In CO, there's a lovely little town with a statue of a headless chicken named Mike. I know what you're thinking... Why honor a headless chicken?
But hey... I'll take a headless chicken any day over stained glass memorials of men like Pressler & Patterson. #ThisistheSBC
Another Southern Baptist predator, failure to protect kids at Immanuel Baptist in Arkansas. She also taught at a Christian school in Little Rock. Steven Smith recently resigned as pastor after mishandling sex abuse allegations. He was formerly on staff Prestonwood Baptist #thisisthesbc #SBC24
Pastor Stephen Trammell told police his 'church was a mega church, and that 'they did not know who they were dealing with.” He’s now an exec pastor Houston's First with Gregg Matte #thisisthesbc #sbc24 #churchtoo #sbctoo
Church says: 'We pray that the victims continue to heal from the tragic actions of this individual.'
And there you have it. SBC folk want to lay it all at the feet of an 'individual' rather than dealing with sexual abuse as a systemic issue. #ThisistheSBC abc13.com/sexual-assault…
Bart Barber No surprise.
Ricky Skaggs is a Trumper who believes the 2020 election was stolen, and aligns with the core tenets of the Q-Anon movement.
But you do you.

Adults do NOT have 'sexual relationships' with minors!
It. Is. RAPE.
An erection does NOT equal consent.
According to reports, Immanuel Baptist KNEW and failed to protect this child.
Once again, Immanuel Baptist Church FAILS a child.

“The Southern Baptist sexual abuse crisis is as much about the countless complicit enablers as it is about the abusers. So long as there are little to no consequences for the enablers & cover-uppers, the predators will persist.”

Employee of Dunwoody Baptist Church in Georga is arrested after police find child sexual abuse materials at his home. At the church, he had worked closely with children & youth for 20 years. Dunwoody Baptist is shown as SBC-affiliated. #ThisistheSBC wsbtv.com/news/20-plus-y…
Tone deaf to now honor Jarrett Stephens. He wasn't Champions' pastor when it happened but note... it took a lawsuit & media to bring his church's abuse history to light. Why was Stephens appointed to the abuse reform task force? Why wasn't this history disclosed? #ThisistheSBC
'Their blindness, capture, and culpability.' This is American evangelicalism. #ThisistheSBC
New sex abuse lawsuit says SBC has 'known for years that churches are a hunting ground' & 'this pattern is well known to the SBC' but 'SBC officials 'decided' to distract, minimize, avoid & often cover up.' #ThisistheSBC via Eric Killelea #SBCtoo 1/3 chron.com/culture/religi…
“We left a Baptist convention once for the wrong reasons. It would be nice to leave one for the right reasons.” Jim Somerville, pastor of FBC-Richmond (first SBC church library!)
Right reasons = opposition to SBC's anti-women-pastors stance #ThisistheSBC baptistnews.com/article/virgin…
