Even if somebody had some sort of evidence of rape, I would not allow it to be posted here on the open forum. Same goes for any kind of sexual assault or sexually deviant behavior. In many of these cases, the devil is literally in the details, and why should we give him place to do more harm to the victims than has already been perpetrated upon them?
There are a number of forum members who are aware of a young sister who was raped by the son of a LC leader. Of course it was swept under the rug and the perpetrator was not brought to justice. Perhaps Nell is aware of this situation and just doesn't want to discuss it on the open forum....again, this would be for the consideration and respect of the victim.

UntoHim,
This is not a court of law, but it is the court of public opinion. The standard is lower here, so people make accusations of crimes committed, in this case rape, without accountability and without evidence. However, we are a christian forum. So the standard should be higher than a civil court. Yet, it is not.
When a crime is committed (sadly when a christian cannot follow the Spirit's leading and casts off all basic christian restraint) then the civil authorities need to be brought in.
Forum members are taking the liberties of making unproven accusations and slandering with a broad brush the Lord's Recovery. That is irresponsible at best. If a crime was committed then someone should call the cops instead of the pathetic slandering going in here. Don't try to convince us this venue is to bring to light what's really going on.... rather, it obfuscates what is really going on with innuendo and subterfuge. Sorry UntoHim, this venue is not a high road.
Therefore, Nell's accusations of rape, a clear crime, being practiced throughout the Lord's Recovery are without proof or substantiation and, in my opinion, are slanderous, a different kind of crime but a crime nonetheless.
