Well, he and his family were some the elite of NTM PNG, yet they never really did much for the people. I was always surprised we were allowed in their house lol

Gary Earl probably feels, and has good reason to feel, betrayed by many of his erstwhile friends. As MKR points out, "he and his family were some of the elite of NTM PNG."

Yet, how many people who knew Gary well, lauded him, admired him, emulated him and enjoyed his company in one way or another were also aware of his abuse of a child in his dorm and said nothing? Where are those people today? If they dare to say anything in his defense, they are sure not saying it out loud.

Paul Syson surmises that Gary Earl's status with NTM was only changed because of an outcry among the members, unsatisfied that he was allowed to retire the same as, say, a missionary who actually did missionary work without abusing kids. I hope this is false.

If it is true, it either means that these same members are unable to sway their leaders to be honest and open about NTM's current financial shenanigans or they are in agreement with these actions. It would also mean that they are satisfied that Dream Words is not satisfied with the outcome.

Gary Earl was sacrificed in order to divert attention from NTM's inaction on this whole abuse scandal.

I second that
And that's not an exaggeration

No, it's not funny.
In joke

Dreamwords . . .Im so sorry that I missed your heading of Please Don't Comment on the other thread. Anyone who knows how, is welcome to take my comment down.

It's so good to hear from you! I hesitate to use the word family or sister because of the broken boundaries of the mission clubs. And yet, that is how I think of you. On those nights that you feel alone, please remember that you're NOT. I'm so sorry that this year has been rough/tough/lonely. I'm glad that you take comfort in your family, as I do in mine. One of the hard lessons which I've had to learn this year, was believing in myself and the value of my beliefs and intuitions, especially regarding friendships. I hope that the right people will go down this next jaunt in the road with you . . .friends that can wholeheartedly support and love you.

((((Big hug))))

Oh, it's fine (about the comment on the Please Don't Comment thread). I had it that way just so I could spew out information and people could read it in one place. I actually have a lot more to add to it - but don't know if there's any point now.
