I really have no idea what to do in these situations, and my past activism doesn't seem to have born much positive fruit. There is a situation similar to this brewing that I have no idea how to proceed with, and at this point others have asked in a public setting for help with the situation, so it's even technically my business. And I'm still not sure what to do.steve-in-kville wrote: ↑Wed Nov 15, 2023 5:21 am The situation I am assisting with is not in a church setting. The "powers that be" have the attitude that if they do not acknowledge the problem, then there is no problem. In this particular situation, there is the potential for the law to get involved if it isn't handled right.
The attitude that seems to prevail with many people is... they don't want to be a "gossip", they don't want to interfere in other people's private lives or appear controlling, etc. etc., so then very bad situations happen and everyone is afraid to take a step to confront and stop a (potential) abuser.
