You MAY be right about this case in NJ. My point was not that the any of what was reported was a distortion. But I read often on this site about skepticism over newspaper stories but in this case, everyone seemed to jump right on this as infallible.
Admittedly, this appears from the report to be genuine and these "parents" ought to subject to the same treatment with as much compassion as they showed these children. BUT, there's also this thing about "innocent until proven guilty" as opposed to being tried and convicted in the same newspaper article.
If this church is complicit in this incident, they too should be starved...or better yet, at their next communion use wallboard or insulation in place of the bread.
Nothing wrong with being skeptical about what is in the papers but, unfortunately I smell a typical RAT scam of the state here. Just too many incidents of such behavior has been documented for me to believe this is not largely true.
I will defer the boiling oil until more information is available.
"Reverends" leaping instanteously to their defense is more suspicious than the facts of a newspaper to me. What kind of real church would get involved in the defense of its parisioners like this?
