Has anyone visited and read this site? Cryingoutforjustice.com ?
I think it is great in its intentions, to alert the church to abuse (and abusers hiding behind some decontextualized Bible verses)and how to deal with it, but I am finding some problems? For instance, yes some high profile pastors don't seem to take domestic abuse seriously but, many times they through the baby out with the bath water. Case and point read this and the comments, particularly by the authors of the site. http://cryingoutforjustice.com/2014/11/21/legalism-lurks-in-books-like-this-one-building-a-godly-home/ I read a thread once and Ben (sola sriptura) said much of what he sees is not like 'sleeping with the enemy.' What are your thoughts?
