Ruth, my wife and I want to thank you very much for your videos of testimonials and your song. No one can write this without real experience.
Nell referenced John Ingall's book which is shockingly true. I encourage anyone to read it. Below is a link that abuse is still occurring in the local churches.

Los Angeles Times, Saturday, January 7, 1989, Leaders Son Excommunicated
Crisis Threatens Future of Little-Known Church (by Russel Chandler)
Here is something that we found on the internet (LA Times Archives). In his book John Ingalls did not mention by name who was excommunicated by the membership. John was a real hero! I believe he had integrity. The news investigator Russel Chandler did good journalism by asking the leadership and its members what happened. By that we have confirmation of what happened. DCP cannot erase everything, see the attached LA Times article.
