As usual Chet, well spoken. I don't always agree with you, and I KNOW how much this subject hurts you, considering those you've tried to help.

You made a good point though about all preachers protecting crooked preachers by their silence. It's the same in every profession though isn't it? Crooked cops, incompetent doctors, drugged atheletes, and on and on and on. Not only does it take guts to tell the truth about crooked powerful colleagues, it's inevitably a way to be completely ostracized by your peers, crooked and straight.

We read it in the papers and see it on the tube EVERY DAY of our lives. Whistle blowers lose EVERYTHING but self-satisfaction...and you can't feed your family on that.
