I for one, am thankful for the exposure that Trudy has brought about in Anabaptist culture. I have concerns that she’s being manipulated. If this is happening , my criticism is not on her, but on BMA. Trudy doesn't move at lightning speed. Never has. I am not concerned at all. She moves when she kn...

She's talking to BMA leaders. Nothing on Mexico. Meanwhile, the accolades pour in for BMA on her page and she says nothing. Something doesn't add up. Trudy rarely says anything positive towards the conservative Anabaptist community, especially men. Occasionally she will, but not very often. Some of...

I may be off in left field here but I have a question that will not go away. It’s been three weeks since Trudy references 100 pages of evidence and conversations with multiple BMA leaders. She also referenced the Mexico orphanage situation, yet only silence. Did someone in BMA cut a deal with Trudy...

Attacking Trudy's credibility on this is certainly a new front, but I suppose eventually a faction will develop that complaints Trudy doesn't go after things hard enough.

Does anybody know the BMA position on identifying someone as demon possessed and thereby a candidate for exorcism? Its related to this thread and a part of the story. However I don’t know if BMA has any position or teaching on this subject. Anybody know? Are you suggesting that exorcisms were perfo...

Vague? Well, (1) Eicher has admitted to sexually assaulting children, (2) two senior leadership staff in BMA resigned because of the orphanage situation, (3) the leaders have stated that the whistleblowers shining light on the abuse have been denigrated (4) orphan children were forcefully removed f...
