1/ In the past 20 years, a disturbing number of Southern Baptists with formal church roles have engaged in sexual misconduct, according to an investigation by @HoustonChron and @ExpressNews: bit.ly/2GtEiRW
@ExpressNews 2/ We analyzed thousands of pages of news reports and court docs to find sexual abuse/misconduct allegations against Southern Baptist church leaders/volunteers. We interviewed hundreds of victims, church leaders, offenders & law enforcement officials.

Here’s what we found:
@ExpressNews 3/ Since 2008, when leaders rejected reforms meant to curb sexual abuse, 250+ people who worked or volunteered in Southern Baptist churches have been charged with sex crimes. Nearly all were convicted, took plea deals or have pending cases. #churchtoo bit.ly/2GzkvR9

1/ A quick thread on evangelicals, sex abuse, and the First Amendment:
2/ In church sex abuse cases, you often hear that leaders are afraid of defamation lawsuits. That's true in the @HoustonChron "Abuse of Faith" series on the SBC. houstonchronicle.com/AbuseOfFaith
3/ (And the Chronicle say it received more reports of abuse than it reported. Presumably, they don't publish because of similar fears.)

@blackrepublican
Sorry, but anyone telling you that America’s largely White/Southern Evangelical #prolife movement had nothing to do with racism — is lying to you.

It started as an anti-black movement.

Pastors, Not Politicians, Turned Dixie Republican forbes.com/sites/chrislad…
“No one needs to say “N..r, n..r” anymore. With help from evangelical pastors, this new generation of politicians has found a new political party and a fresh language with which to stir old grievances and feed their power. “ — Chris Ladd
“By merely refining their rhetoric and activating evangelical congregations, a new generation of Southern conservatives grow ever closer to winning a fight their forebears once thought was lost.”

— Chris Ladd

Day 712 since Donald Trump admitted to sexual assault — yet he’s still in the Oval Office

Eric Swalwell: "I understand why a [man] who has 13 credible sexual assault allegations against him may not want to order somebody to investigate a judge he nominated with a sexual assault allegation but it is the right thing to do."

1) @SaRaAshcraft or @FionaBa47662575 maybe someone can give me some insight. I recently was talking to my sister, shes the one who got me studying #SRA and the possibility of it influencing our past
2) she told me about an incident she had recently remembered after moving out of the house at 16 and having gotten a new phone # that nobody had.
3) shortly after getting this new number she started getting strange calls. A man with an evil intonation would call and harass her, call her terrible names. She had only recently remembered this happening, but at the time it was terrifying.
