Hi Sherpa,
Thanks for responding to my PM's. I was encouraged by your kindness. I'm here, ready to listen and talk and learn.

Andy

Welcome back Andy, we missed you.

Hi Sherpa Dude,
Thanks for the welcome and the questions.
Any NTM school where children were abused will be investigated. Any reports of child abuse will be investigated. The investigations will be done by independent, third party investigators. We'll have more details on this process soon.

There have been problems with some email addresses getting through. I read a technical description of the reason but I'll see if I can find someone who can explain it to me in English. Tibby and I can be reached at andy.kline@ntm.org and tibby.westcott@ntm.org. If you send an email and don't hear something back in a day or two, please pm me.

I want to reason together too, but if it takes a brickbat to make me see reason, go for it.

Andy

Realizing that this does have not the same seriousness as child sexual abuse, when will there be a safe place (as per GRACE recommendations) for adult missionaries to tell their stories of abuse in the last 5 years? (And going back as far as they want to, but realizing that this is still an *ongoing* problem and the 'new' NTM has not managed to get free of the abusive leadership style.)

Jerry B: NTM's tech people actually wrote to me and suggested that **I** get a new e-mail address, so that I could reach Andy, Tibby, Larry and the CPC! Because Their fortress-like e-mail system considers yahoo.com addresses to be suspect, since true spam is apparently often sent from yahoo addresses. So all yahoo senders get lumped in with the spam senders.

So **I** am the one with the problem. I am the one that needs to change.

Is that a little like if you've known one Roman Catholic that didn't act like a Christian then no Catholic can be saved?

Or if your tribal congregation can't answer the chronological questions with exactly the correct wording, then they can't possibly understand the Gospel and they obviously won't be going to Heaven?

Is it significant that Andy opened communication shortly after Sherpa Dude mentioned lawsuits?
