Default Re: What's going on in OKC?

Cal, I think the most I can say is that there was a family, the husband/father of which was accused of some abuses that are punishable by law. These kind of abuses would not be things there are typically witnesses to.

Colley took the accusation against the husband/father as an attack, and rather than allow the case to go through court with testimonies and witnesses and expert opinion to determine guilt, he went on a total warpath well before verdict, sending out mass communications almost day and night and using church gatherings to repeat the same, in an out of his mind attempt to defend the accused brother and absolutely trash and drag the victim(s) through the mud. Lies, misinformation, sordid details, salacious tidbits, using scripture to determine guilt or innocence in ways that made no logical sense whatsoever. Rather than the accused brother stepping back, he was promoted and lauded, making it uncomfortable for the saints to say the least. Saints desperately turned to the co-workers (after all they are the "apostles" today, right?) and the co-workers did what we all know they do - dragged their feet, shuffled around, delayed, made unsuccessful attempts to curtail Colley, and left the saints gasping for oxygen....because they aren't used to calling abusive behavior "abusive" and taking an actual and timely stand against sin and wrongdoing (because they "don't care about right and wrong" remember?).

This letter from the co-workers is years too late.

I can't add anything to my comment about Colley's behavior affecting his son without getting into the realm of conjecture, so I'll have to leave my comments at that.

Unregistered, thanks for your expression of care. Hopefully it has been an encouragement over the few years I've been on the forum to see that God is faithful to wipe the dirt off confused and wounded members' glasses so they can see the truth more clearly.
