point5 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Is there any statistics or articles about sex crimes in other denominations? Im aware that it doesnt happen only in the Catholic church, but we are the public target...is there any info about how it happens elswhere but almost unnoticed on a national level? -Kiel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatcatholic Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 [url="http://www.reformation.com/"][b]this[/b][/url] is the best site i have found on the subject. in it you will find proof of abuse by: 147 Baptist Ministers 251 "Bible" Church Ministers (fundamentalist/evangelical) 140 Anglican/Episcopalian Ministers 38 Lutheran Ministers 46 Methodist Ministers 19 Presbyterian Ministers 197 various Church Ministers i'm not sure how often the site is updated, but these numbers alone are striking. also, please not that i do not relish in these statistics. but, they must be revealed to prove that this is not a merely "Catholic" problem pax christi, phatcatholic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
point5 Posted June 12, 2004 Author Share Posted June 12, 2004 thanx...this is not something I want to relish in either or use as justification...but only to show that this is not only a Catholic thing here...we are just publicised becauseof our church authority. -Kiel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

point5 Posted June 13, 2004 Author Share Posted June 13, 2004 that program seems to always give you the wrong cards at the wrong time...so at time I do the opposite of what I would do...like sometimes when I would stay Ill hit or even double down because I feel like the dealer is gonna draw the card I need to bust me. I always start out by betting everything till I get to around 6-10 thousand dollars...then I keep betting a set number usually start at 2000...after 4 to 5 wins increase the bet and never go back down, however sometimes I feel like Im in a rut and then Ill bet a bunch of 25 dollar ones just to mix up the cards. Maybe this is all superstition, but Im going to vegas in a couple weeks and I can only hope to have 10% of the success I have hear...I will play alot more conservatively there, cause I cant hit the retry button in real life. pax _Kiel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
