Related: About this forumGood news: Survey shows more pastors preach about abuse in #MeToo age
From the article:
Half of Protestant pastors say they preach to their churches about domestic and sexual violence, an increase from four years ago, when only a third said they raised the issue, a new survey shows.
LifeWay Research took a detailed look at Protestant clergys attitudes toward abuse and harassment and what theyve done about it, surveying 1,000 pastors by phone during the summer of 2018 as the #MeToo and #ChurchToo movements dominated the news.

51% in 2018 is better than the 34% recorded in 2014. But more is expected.

Their rice bowl is their rice bowl. Wouldn't want to break nobody's rice bowl.

Perhaps you have some secret insight into their real motivation.
MineralMan
(147,578 posts)3. And I trust my judgment.
It's been honed for 73 years, now.
guillaumeb
(42,649 posts)5. And that means?
Nothing, other than you trust your own imperfect judgment.
MineralMan
(147,578 posts)8. Yes, that's what it means.
Very perceptive.
MineralMan
(147,578 posts)4. I posted some other survey data from
LifeWay Research in another thread. See what you think...
guillaumeb
(42,649 posts)6. Are you engaging in whataboutism?
Yes, you are.
MineralMan
(147,578 posts)7. No. It's just some other data from the same source.
Not even related to this thread.
guillaumeb
(42,649 posts)9. Your entire response is classic whatboutism.
You declined to discuss the subject and pivoted to a different topic in an attempt to deflect.
And that misunderstanding of the logical fallacy explains many of the responses here.
