Rather than demonize the individuals, I think it is more helpful to shine the light of truth on the work the group does. One doesn't have to be evil to err; just human.

What??? If someone
IS a monster, they need to be
exposed as a monster. Pointing out the results of monstrous behavior, after the fact, means there are victims who should have been protected. What about them?
You can't protect yourself, or someone else, from the "work" of monsters if you don't know who the monsters are. Women in "the office" could have protected themselves from Philip Lee if they had known he was a monster.
So, poor Philip Lee wasn't evil. He just err'd. He's just human.
This elder in OKC wasn't evil for abusing his wife and child, he just made a mistake...oops...he's just human...poor fella'.
So which is it? They behaved like monsters, or they're "just human"?
1 Timothy 5:19-21
19 Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
20 Them that sin
rebuke before all, that
others also may fear.
