The sexual abuse part is very close to my heart. Not only was I sexually abused by men and women in a very conservative Amish Mennonite church, but I worked with many victims of it as well. I used to work as a Victim Advocate at a SA/DV/HT/ST Center with victims and survivors of sexual abuse, human trafficking, domestic violence, and stalking. I can tell you in the Mennonite community close to where I live in Kansas, there is a huge huge huge ring of sexual abuse going on and being covered in the Mennonite churches here as well as a sex trafficking ring. The hatred I have been attacked with for speaking out with actual evidence on my side, has been astounding. There were times my safety was seriously compromised. Yet the abuse goes on, and gets covered up. Lawyers and judges get paid off when there is a report made and the abusers go free, have communion, while the victims are shunned from the church. It goes beyond the church too. Mennonite landlords are forcing their poor tenants to give them sexual favors or they kick them out. There is even human trafficking going on as well. In the Mennonite church. The church that is so holy it doesn’t need to be subject to the law of the land. It is a sick wicked cult and God will judge it, just like he judged that type of thing in the minor prophets in the old testament.
