I'm not sure if this has been posted but it's really terrible. The poor girl was made to feel as if the rape and molestation she suffered was entirely her fault. When she reached out to her pastor, she was made to apologise in front of her church community.

Very disturbing. Sounds to me like a cult, using mind control and keeping its members away from the rest of the world as much as possible.

I'm glad Tina finally was able to stand up to them. Those in the wrong should be ashamed of themselves. Unfortunately, they never will be. :evil:

I believe this was discussed in detail on the old FJ.

The whole episode is a horrible shame. Glad the rapist was sentenced to prison.

It's a shame nothing can be done about the then pastor who orchestrated the whole cover up.

I think this incident was also discussed on the 20/20 episode that covered abuse in IFB churches.

Thanks for posting that link Jessica. I will watch it later on. I did watch when it originally aired but I couldn't remember all of the people featured in it.
