It would appear that in Kiwiland, the word being passed down is that IHART is taking care of all the abuse scandal and there is nothing for Tribers and sympathisers to worry about.
And the gullible are swallowing this line, because it is convenient to do so.
While we are talking about Kiwiland. There are 10 missionary/missionary couples listed. A quick bit of research shows that the figures are even more dubious about how many are serving on the field:
3 are students with Interface and thinking about joining NTM.
4 are listed as being on the field.
2 are in Kiwiland.
And one is in the U.S. (which I don't think is a field, but there could be some heathens that need a bit of work
)
If any of the 3 students are reading this, please think very carefully about what you will do with the rest of your lives. There are plenty of good missions to choose from.
Alas my opinion is that NTM exhibits to many cult features to be a safe option and it is only till you are well and truly involved that the warning bell will become an alarm. And by that time you will have been trained to do what you are told and look the other way when you have concerns.
