THE BITE IS BACK!

Thanks!
We fly high.
They slither around in the bushes.
Maybe I can buzz them out!

I had missionary parents
They dragged me off to serve the lord
We slew that naughty satan
With our divine mighty sword

But there was other missionaries
And they were doing gods work too
Except twas a different god
Or a version we did not wanna view

So when we finished converting natives
Teaching them god was really love
We beat the you know what out of the competition
And to hell condemned them with a shove

Which got me round to wondering
And confudlement rose in my head
So I thought "a plague upon all thy houses"
And tucked myself up in my little bed

Hello New Tribes Mission
Is anybody there
Or are all thee in the chapel
Offering up a little prayer

"God take away this cup
It is to much to bear
This negative publicity
Doth hinder "the work" in despair"


"We ask not forgiveness
For twas so long ago
And times were different then
And it was way over there"


"Look God, we have new policies
So this will not happen ever again
And our lawyers are richly blessed
Defending those errant men"


I'm still on the line
Think I've just joined God on hold
Me thinks this latest revelation
To the "Untold Millions" will not be told

Great poem, Bemused.

And since I am not sure how long they will keep this on the front page of their website, here is Ethnos360's response:

As we watched the interviews of the victims of horrific abuse, we are heartsick. The actions of the perpetrators go against everything we believe about the value of children and our responsibility to protect them.

While we grieve these actions and know we cannot change the past, we continue to work to see perpetrators brought to justice and remain committed to the safety of children.

Since those early days, our organization has incorporated significant child safety training, updated policies and extensive screening. These are mandatory for all members. Education of children is also handled very differently today. Most of our overseas members choose homeschooling for their families or have access to a daytime-only schooling option. During this 2018-2019 school year, only seven children of our members (worldwide) are boarding at our schools.

We have also established a process, called IHART, which is tasked with reviewing any historical allegations.

Where is the word SORRY in this statement?

Sorry for covering this up.
Sorry for letting these criminals go free.
Sorry for the destroyed lives.
Sorry for calling victims "bitter" and "not walking with the lord".

There is no SORRY.
