Triad Toys Headless Smb Alpha Sixth 16th Scale Female Body Review

Dedicated to my heroes:  Shauna and *Billy*

"Violators cannot live with the truth: survivors cannot live without information technology. There are those who still, once again, are poised to invalidate and deny us. If we don't assert our truth, it may once again be relegated to fantasy. But the truth won't go abroad. It will continue surfacing until it is recognized. Truth will outlast any campaigns mounted confronting it, no affair how mighty, clever, or long. Information technology is invincible. It's only a matter of which generation is willing to confront information technology and, in then doing, protect future generations from ritual abuse."  ― Chrystine Oksana, Safety Passage to Healing: A Guide for Survivors of Ritual Corruption link

A broken heart

Some background:

I have known virtually this story since terminal fall. Shauna'due south plight has been communicated to SNAP. Also, I personally called Lakeside Bible Church yesterday and asked to speak Ken Ramey. I explained to the adult female who answered the phone that I would be posting this story today. I accept not heard back from anyone at the church. The names of the two teen boys are the just ones that have been changed. Billy is the victim. Joe is the rapist.

A church building dissever over church discipline?

Here is a comment that alludes to a church building dissever from the John MacArthur Forum.

First permit me to elaborate on why you are seeing this mail. Ken Ramey is the pastor of Lakeside Bible Church in Montgomery ,Texas. Our family left this church, well we ran for the hills.

Beneath y'all will find a sermon in which Ken has attempted to remove off the Internet and wipe abroad that he ever was a cardinal speaker or even attended this conference, Grace Fellowship in Pretoria Africa May 23, 2015. Ken Ramey has his sermons posted on every sight where he can post his sermons including places he has been a speaker. So, why would he remove them? I know why!

Ken spoke on two different issues which he makes sure they go mitt in hand. Defusing Disunity (How Ken caused a church split ) and Search and Rescue exercising church discipline! Ken goes into great detail in how he acquired a church building separate at the very first church he pastored away from GCC (JOHN MACARTHUR ) which was Walden Customs Church in Montgomery Texas.

Ken makes it a point to signal out that John MacArthur is his mentor. He even says in this sermon that he consulted john macarthur right before he separate Walden Community Church. He was invited in to be senior pastor by a congregational rule church in which afterward two weeks of arriving he immediately tried to make information technology elderberry/pastor rule.

The members there caught on quick and threatened him and the elders with a lawsuit. Ken chosen these members including the former pastor divisive, gossips, unbelievers, aroused biting people who can keep their church pews.(sic) He clearly throws them under the omnibus and then says he didn't.

Ken is all about church discipline and exercising it! I guess of course as long equally information technology doesn't include him or his leadership. Ken was invited into a church where they were congregational rule and in the first two weeks ken tried to Shanghai the church and the building. People, he gets into the story of how he did information technology you really must listen to this,sermon!!!

Dead, bloody animal games

There is another upshot that involves the use of dead animals and lots of real blood in youth ministry games but we'll save that for another time. Bet that 1 will become you googling! This is not a joke-promise.

What could the above information imply?

It appears that Ken Ramey and Lakeside Bible Church are Neo Calvinistic in their leanings. They stress male only leadership, biblical™ counseling techniques, and church building subject. Their interest in the books of CJ Mahaney raise concerns regarding how one might handle reports of child sexual activity abuse.

Knowing this background, permit's move on.

Shauna'south story

Shauna is a single, divorced female parent of Baton. She supports the two of them by cleaning houses and helping out with the intendance of horses, house sitting, etc.. Their financial situation is hard, but Shauna is able to control her schedule to exist habitation for Baton. In 2013, the twelvemonth that this story begins, Billy was 13 years old but was developmentally ix years old. He also suffers from dyslexia and participates in a special needs plan at school. He is a delightful young man to speak to on the phone, which I did. Shauna was a member of Lakeside Bible Church, and a number of her clients came from that church building.

She was house sitting when her life inverse. Another boy, Joe, who was 15 and whose family are members of Lakeside stopped by to hang out with Billy. They went into a room to play video games. Shauna decided to cheque on them and walked in on Baton existence sodomized by Joe. She called an Elderberry (with a capital E) for help. He brash her to phone call the police force which she did. Ken Ramey arrived around the same time the police did. He tried to talk with Billy at several points merely was not allowed to because the police were concerned that he had talked with Joe and did not want his thoughts to influence Billy's report.

During the investigation, it was discovered that pornography had been viewed on the Boob tube and that some sort of musical instrument had been used by Joe to threaten Billy with bodily harm if he said anything.

Billy was brought to the infirmary. There it was ascertained that he had been sexually molested due to the obvious fierce, bruising etc. This was a difficult night for Billy. He was distraught and needed assist in lying still for the rape test. He was likewise put on medications to prevent the possibility of disease being transmitted by the rape. These meds fabricated Billy sick for the weeks they had to be administered. Also, Baton understandably developed a corking deal of fearfulness and experienced nightmares for a long time. His mother fabricated sure that he received expert counseling from professionals as opposed to the "competent to counsel" fans at Lakeside.

When Baton and Shauna returned to Lakeside for the first time since the rape, they both saw Joe coming out of the Youth Surface area. This is meaning as you will see momentarily. Then, Joe came into the church with his parents, walking correct past Billy. At one point, he turned and gazed threateningly in Billy's management. This caused Baton no small amount of fright, and he insisted in being taken out of church.

Shauna requested that Joe be prevented from attention the aforementioned church service every bit Billy, but this request was allegedly denied. Apparently, Joe was being counseled by the church, and they allegedly had no concerns about any further rapes. It is alleged that the church membership was non notified of the potential danger of Joe's behavior.

Joe eventually pled guilty to aggravated sexual assault. He received probation and was told to go counseling. Allegedly Shauna was encouraged by the church not to attend the sentencing by Ken Ramey. She did not know that during the hearing she could take requested restitution from the rapist's family unit for medications, counseling etc.

Allegedly, Shauna began to hear from church building members that this incident was only consensual behavior betwixt two boys and that it was a sin. She was also told that members had heard that her son was a homosexual.

Shauna felt she could no longer nourish the church building. Shortly thereafter, she started losing customers who were members of her former church. She lost then much business organisation that she is even so having trouble making ends meet.

Shauna had had enough. She decided to write the former church members a letter explaining what had happened.

The Alphabetic character to the Church building from Shauna

Dear Lakeside Bible Church Community,

I am writing to you concerning a affair of a very serious nature and 1 that I feel is absolutely necessary to address for the sake of my son.

Over the course of the concluding few months, several members of LBC have crossed my path and have brought to my attention false rumors that are widely circulating as to why my son and I left the church. Information technology is at present necessary for me to answer to these rumors because they are slanderous to my son and continue to perpetuate the abuse that he has already endured. I made the decision for my family to leave LBC in Oct 2013, 2013 because I believe that Lakeside Bible Church was no longer a safe environment for my son, due to the sexual abuse he endured, the church'south harboring of a sexual offender at the time, and the church building staff'due south egregious handling of our family in the process.

The facts are that my son was forcibly raped through intimidation and threats upon his life. Facts that are documented and confirmed from multiple sources. First, from the medical records documenting the night of my son's assault and his distress, his medical examination, and confirmed physical evidence of forced rape and trauma. Second, from the District Attorney in Conroe, who dealt personally and extensively with the charges confronting my son'southward perpetrator, including the perpetrator's confession to the crime. It is too well documented that the perpetrator entered a sex offender program and received counseling through the criminal justice system for his offense. Tertiary, from my son'due south professional advisor, who is trained and highly experienced in recognizing and dealing with sexual abuse, rape, and trauma in children and has worked with my son and his recovery over the past two years.

Due to the extremely uninformed and grievous "counseling" practices and the agendas we both experienced at LBC while under duress, I cannot emphasize enough to the community and staff of Lakeside Bible Church to consider very carefully and seriously the value of getting properly, professionally informed about the truth of sexual abuse and trauma against children; get educated on how to best offer support and protection to victims and their families who accept endured it; and to consider referring victims and families to counselors who are greatly experienced and knowledgeable regarding such.

I firmly believe an immeasurable apology is due to my son by his perpetrator, the perpetrator's family, the Lakeside Bible Church pastor and elders, and from any individual within the Lakeside Bible Church community who has perpetuated slander and further grief against my son.

Please experience free to contact me if y'all take experienced any type of sexual abuse, physical abuse, or mental abuse by anyone.  I have a vast knowledge of wonderful resources available as a event of my son's assault which has brought some healing for both of us. Information technology is even so a very deep struggle to piece of work through even now however I don't know how nosotros would exist coping without the expertise of those who understand abuse, who have provided so much compassion and care to my child. It would be an injustice to keep this to ourselves and non share with those in the church building who may be suffering in silence.  I tin no longer be silenced nor volition my son be made out to exist the perpetrator in his ain corruption and a homosexual when he clearly was raped!  In our own personal experience his assault has been swept under the carpeting and lies have told about my child past this leadership!

If you take whatsoever questions regarding the validity of my son's corruption I volition be more than happy to answer those questions and will provide what is necessary to vindicate my child if anyone has pb you lot to believe this was anything but a Rape! Delight do not ask me for the name of his perpetrator as I am not able to divulge that information.

Thanks,

Shauna R. Marquis

Yous may ask why I believe Shauna's version of the events. Too the confidence of Joe (and he pled guilty) Ken Ramey wrote the following letter of the alphabet to his congregation. This letter nailed it for me. Does information technology for you lot?

Ken Ramey's letter to Lakeside Bible Church

Hither is the letter that Ken Ramey sent to LBC about Shauna's letter of the alphabet. In that location is so much wrong with it that I am having difficulty keeping this post from condign a volume. The actual alphabetic character (screenshot) appears at the cease of this post.

Beloved,

I am writing in response to a disturbing email you recently received from a onetime fellow member of Lakeside publicizing that her son was raped by some other fellow member of our church and accusing our Pastoral Staff and Elders of mishandling of her and her son and endangering them and the other members of our church by harboring a sexual offender in our church. Sadly, what should accept remained a private matter betwixt the individuals involved in a very serious, sinful deed that occurred dorsum in 2013 has now go that must be addressed, albeit discreetly.

First of all, I cannot even begin to imagine the unspeakable grief and hurting of a mother's heart whose son was sinned against sexually by some other teenage boy who was attending at the time of the incident. The incident did not take place on our church campus or during a church building activity. However, immediately after the incident occurred, the mother contacted one of our Elders and he counseled her to phone call the constabulary and I arrived minutes after and attempted to piece of work alongside the government in ministering to both families involved in the incident. In the days and weeks that followed, we sought to lovingly and patiently counsel both boys and their families and pursue biblical reconciliation within the limitations and restrictions place on united states past the state court organization. We were in regular contact with the District Attorney's part as the instance progressed to ensure compliance with the orders from the court and to avoid hindering the investigation and eventual prosecution. The "perpetrator"  confessed his faith and even made a confession of faith in Christ as a consequence of the conviction he was nether regarding what he had done. Furthermore, from the time the incident occurred based, on a court order, this swain was never allowed out of his parents' sight whenever he was at church building and he never returned to our Pupil Ministry building and subsequently has moved out of country equally a outcome of an unrelated situation in his family unit.

That being said, we have never knowingly "harbored a sexual offender in our church," but like every church we government minister to an unknown number of people who have committed sexual sin including fornicators, adulterers, homosexuals, pedophiles, etc., along with a whole bunch of other sinful  folks who by the grace of God have repented of their sin and accept been done clean through the shed blood of Christ on their behalf and are in the procedure of existence sanctified or set apart from their sometime life of sin (cf. 1 Cor six:9-11).

Finally, I recollect it is of import for us to remember that the Bible that if we are aware that someone has committed a sin, we are to personally and privately confront that person for the purpose of leading them to repentance and restoring them to a right human relationship with God and anyone else their sin has affected. (cf. Gal 6:1, Matt xviii:12-16). The just time a person'south sins should be made public is when they decline to repent of it or are unwilling to be reconciled to others who accept sinned against them (cf. Matt 18:17, 1 Tim v:19-22). Unrepentant sin should never be swept under the rug but e'er confronted and exposed (cf 1 Cor v:1-13). Still, if sin is confessed and repented of then we are to comprehend it of love for Christ and our fellow sinner (cf. 1 Peter one:8, James 5:19-20, Gen ix:20-23). God Himself said, "He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who professes and forsakes them will find pity" (Proverbs 28:13). We should bargain with i some other sins accordingly.

If you have whatever questions or concerns about this situation, please experience costless to contact me or any of the other LBC Elders. As those who God has entrusted with the sacred responsibleness to protect and care for His sheep (cf. Acts 20:28) and who volition have to give an account to Him someday for how we have watched over your souls (cf. Hebrews 13:17), we covet your continued prayers as we strive to wisely and graciously apply the truth of His Word every bit we deal with sin in our own lives and in the lives of those who attend LBC.

Grace and truth,

Ken Ramey

Some of the bug with this letter by Ken Ramey.

Please feel gratis to keep the listing going. I shall outset numbering them and you all can continue.

1. The word "perpetrator" is put in parenthesis. Shauna told me that Ramey said he believed that this was an human action between two consenting teens. It seems that he does not believe that the bedevilled rapist was a perpetrator.
2. He says that the church building was unfairly accused of mishandling the situation and putting the church in danger. Shauna said that he didn't tell the church about what happened and allowed the rapist to continue coming to church building. Note how oft he says that this was a "individual matter" and should non have been made a public thing.
3. He does non mention the pain of the victim, Shauna's son.
4. He does non call it a crime. Instead, he refers to it equally a sin.
5. He allowed Joe to attend the church even though Baton was fearful of him. This shows a priority of caring for the rapist over the victim of the rapist.
6. He does not hash out Billy's developmental delays which makes him even more of a victim.
7. He does not hash out the threats that were made past the rapist to Baton about not telling anyone else what he did to Billy or he would hurt him.
8. He allowed the rapist'southward parents to watch over him. This is naive since it is possible that his parents could accept been concealing Joe's behavior in the past. There should have been an Elder (always capitalized, btw) that accompanied Joe whenever he stepped a human foot on the campus of the church.
9. Do you note how they *lovingly and patiently* sought to counsel both boys and seek reconciliation. Does this remind you of the time at SGM when they made a 3 yr quondam kid *forgive* her abuser? Maybe Ramey is taking cues from SGM? Warning: it is highly inadvisable to pursue reconciliation in the short run when it involves child sexual practice abuse. As Boz Tchvidjian of GRACE has said:
   "The long-term damage suffered by victims who are manipulated into "reconciliation" is ofttimes more damaging than the underlying abuse."
10. It  is stated that LBC has an unknown number of pedophiles who are repenting. This statement made absolutely no sense. If pedophiles are nowadays, they are of danger to the children in that church.
11. So, the young rapist has fabricated a *confession of faith in Christ* equally a event of this. Hmmm, who remembers The Village Church and the pedophile incident? Anyone who believes that someone merely has to confess faith in Christ to be cured from some sort of predatory, rape activity is totally naive. This is what got The Hamlet Church building into trouble, forcing Matt Chandler to apologize. It sure sounds similar Ramey is headed for the need to repent equally well.
12. If a pedophile confesses and repents of sex abuse, Ramey says we should conceal it out of love. NOOOOOOOO. A young man who rapes and threatens another teen has deep seated problems and his problems should become common knowledge then that the members of the church can protect their own children. It seem like Ramey is not too concerned about repeated rape if the person has *confessed Christ.*

Finally, I am absolutely in stupor that people at LBC have punished Shauna and her son by dropping her means of supporting herself and her son through housecleaning. If anyone needs to repent, it is Ramey, the Elders (big E) and the church members who didn't prove an ounce of compassion to a woman and her son who was raped past the son of a improve positioned family in the church.  I had a run a risk to talk with Billy. He is an amazing boyfriend who wants this story told. His mother and he are the heroes of this story. It is way too piece of cake to name the bad guys.

LBC needs to consult GRACE and Boz Tchividjian to meet how Christians should actually care for the abused. For now, I would say that your church is not a prophylactic place when people are struggling with the backwash of kid sexual practice corruption.

Shauna: we love you and your wonderful son! What happened to him was a crime. May God requite you strength.
