Methodist Church apology over abuse claims
#11
RE: Methodist Church apology over abuse claims
Methodists typically (AFAIK) don't have in house detention. Britain does, and I'd like to see them use it more.

Some denominations think disfellowshipment is a pretty severe penalty, don't know if it lowers the incidence, but it helps the optics.

As I recall, denoms that show fuck ups the door include LDS, JWs, Lutherans and several branches of Amish. Curiously, I would view a personal banishment from LDS a badge of honor, but I'm funny that way, (there being a difference between asking too many questions with inconvenient answers and kiddy diddling).
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

They are sorry they got caught, more likely.

Fucking disgrace.
