The government is not protecting your children like they should in the US

[ColonelAngus]

All so true. Sadly, it’s also become “cool” to hate Jews these days.

I had to get the shot if I wanted to be allowed to visit my mother in her assisted living facility. I chose to do so.

And I support your choice. The mandates is what I found to be unreasonable.

Not EVERYONE is going to have vax damage, but some do.

I had COVID in early 2020. For me it was like mild flu. I run 100 miles a month and work out 5 days a week. In mid 2021, I went to my doctor for a checkup, and he encouraged me to get the shot just to get it. I said No….we moved on…

The bizarre love affair between the communists and Islam is fascinating.

The communists ignoring the misogyny and homophobia of Islam proves they do not ACTUALLY care about those things. They are political tools.

 

[Votto]

God has nothing to do with it. There are even more child abusers in the church.

Prove it.

I hear every week of teachers abusing children in the public schools, yet only the church seems to get the most public scrutiny over it in the media

Funny that.

My FIL died from it and the MIL had permanent damage that later directly led to her death.

Its the democrats not the government that exposes our children to crime

If they care so damned much, then where in the hell are they then?

Hmm?

Heres the difference. The public schools prosecute. The Catholic Church defends these child molesters and it went on fir decades. Abuse by the church dwarfs abuse in public schools.

The Catholic Church has faced a global crisis of sexual abuse allegations spanning decades, with widespread reports of misconduct by clergy and systemic cover-ups by senior leadership. While many cases are historical, contemporary investigations and internal reforms continue to shape the Church's response.

Ongoing Challenges & Perspectives

• Continued Skepticism: About 62% of U.S. Catholics still view clergy sex abuse as an ongoing problem as of early 2025.
• Accountability Gaps: Critics argue that Church law still lacks transparency and that the Vatican’s commission on safeguarding remains "powerless" to audit specific cases.
• Unsupervised Clergy: An AP investigation found nearly 1,700 "credibly accused" former clergy living without oversight in civilian life.

Victims or those seeking support can find resources through organizations like SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) or ChildHelpline International.

Child abuse linked to faith or belief is a global issue that is not confined to any single religion, nationality, or ethnic community. While no major religion officially condones child abuse, systemic failures, power imbalances, and specific doctrinal interpretations in various groups have led to documented cases of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.

Institutional and Clergy Abuse
Investigations and lawsuits have uncovered widespread historical and ongoing abuse across many major denominations:

• Roman Catholic Church: Extensive global scandals have revealed thousands of victims over decades. In France alone, an inquiry estimated 216,000 victims of clergy abuse since 1950. Major cases have been documented in the US, Australia, Ireland, and Portugal.
  PBS +3
• Southern Baptist Convention: Recent reports have detailed hundreds of accusations of abuse by clergy and a systemic failure to respond to victims.
  dmasseylaw.com
• Jehovah’s Witnesses: Studies have found high rates of allegations, with specific criticism directed at the organization’s internal policies for handling abuse claims.
  The Guardian +1
• The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon): The church has faced numerous accusations and has been linked to covering up sexual assault in affiliated organizations like the Boy Scouts of America.
  dmasseylaw.com
• Other Groups: Documented cases of abuse or failure to protect children exist within the Assemblies of God, the Anglican Church, Methodist Church, Haredi Jewish communities, and some Islamicmadrasas.
  The Guardian +4

Abuse in High-Control Groups or "Cults"
Some smaller or more insular religious movements have been legally found to engage in systematic abuse:

• The Family International (Children of God): A British court found this group to be an authoritarian cult that engaged in systematic physical and sexual abuse of children.
  Wikipedia
• Twelve Tribes: This group practices severe corporal punishment, including the use of "rods," which former members have described as severe beatings.
  Wikipedia
• Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS): This sect has been widely prosecuted for child bride practices and spiritual grooming for sexual activity.
  ScienceDirect.com

Types of Faith-Based Abuse
Beyond sexual abuse, some children suffer from "faith-based abuse" tied to specific spiritual beliefs:

• Exorcism/Witchcraft: In some communities, children may be singled out as "possessed" or "witches," leading to severe physical and emotional harm.
• Corporal Punishment: Interpretations of "spare the rod, spoil the child" lead some groups to use physical discipline that crosses into legal definitions of abuse.
• Medical Neglect: Some groups, such as Christian Scientistsor certain Pentecostal sects, may discourage or forbid life-saving medical treatment for children based on religious tenets.
  Metropolitan Police +2

Factors Facilitating Abuse
Researchers suggest several "uniquely religious characteristics" can facilitate the grooming and abuse of children:
ScienceDirect.com +1

• Power & Patriarchy: Absolute reverence for authority figures makes it difficult for children to report harm.
• Spiritual Punishment: Fear of divine retribution if a child speaks out against a "man of God".
• Internal Secrecy: Policies like the "seal of confession" or internal judicial systems often bypass civil law enforcement.

Specific cases involving child abuse within the context of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) have drawn significant legal and media attention, particularly regarding how allegations are reported to authorities.

Notable Recent Cases

• Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt (2024):Former parenting vlogger Ruby Franke and her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt were sentenced to 4 to 30 years in prison for aggravated child abuse. Their victims, Franke's children, were found severely malnourished and physically abused, with some restrained by duct tape and rope. Franke and Hildebrandt claimed their actions were justified by their religious beliefs, purportedly to help the children "repent".

By kicking God out of schools the unwise secularists opened the doors to the devil and his deluded degenerate subjects.

I honestly think it is all about population control

At the turn of the 20th century, the government started this crap as they began to target "undesirables".

Unwanted Sterilization and Eugenics Programs in the United States

A shameful part of America’s history.

www.pbs.org

Abortion was a big part of this as Margarat Sanger and Planned Parenthood targeted blacks for extermination.

In fact, Hitler got a lot of his ideas from Progressives in the US before the war on this subject.

But today, race does not seem to matter as now the drive is to depopulate no matter your race.

In effect, they have never really changed. If you look at government policy through the lense of depopulation, then their polices begin to make a lot more sense, such as allowing 200 Americans to die from drug overdoses due to an open border that drugs flow across, abortion on demand at any cost, including being funded by US taxpayers, supporting degenerate sexual practices of any kind, so long as they cannot reproduce, and the move to sterilize Americans after convincing them that a sex change might be the answer to all their problems, etc.

It is all a kinder, gentler mass genocide that is largely self imposed. All the government has to do is promote it in various ways.

Allowing children to be molested in public schools is probably part of this package, as normal sexual activity after being molested is far less likely. In fact, they may even decide to kill themselves after the fact.

Many Hospitals in democrat controlled areas I believe strongly, had a secret policy of administering the vaccine to people who declined the vaccines. I believe millions of people were given the vaccines by far left health "professionals" who believed they were "doing the right thing for humanity".

This was likely done when such patients were in for procedures that required general anesthesia and were out.
No proof, but seeing the fanaticism of so many on the Left over non vaccinated people I think it's plausible.

You must show proof that happnend because it never did. No hospital administers drugs without consent.
