[Oe List ...] Our conversation reminds me of

[Ken Fisher]

Hey Randy,

Got to go on record.

Before that time, and in retrospect, I saw childhood sexual abuse in the churches, in my church, and in the Scouting movement  in Canada, of which I was a leader. It is in  our Western patriarchal culture.

I also witnessed spousal abuse in and out of the O:E.

Among others, I confess to being unwilling to ‘out’ the abusers. I came close.. While being angry, I could not find ‘an ear’.

Only a decade ago, my oldest shared his sense that he had been abused in Bombay, at less than three.

He is a phenomenal parent, raising two Inuit boys and one of their own.

At the Denver reunion in 2000, those gathered made a deeply heartfelt apology. Other institutions did that under legal duress.

We were naive, and yet we were different.

And… there are E.G. staff members who have never apologized.

While there is no excuse, I do declare (Joe Pierce) that the 'all-is-good' is inherent in the O:E.

Donald is a pedophile. Are you going to block all of America?

Ken
