BigJacque, welcome to the forum.
I note you say that "90% of your stories are nothing but cap, empty lies that crumble under scrutiny". Am I right in thinking the word 'cap' is used as, "a slang term that originated in the United States and is commonly used in African American Vernacular English (AAVE)"? It is not a word I have seen used in this way before.
Anyway, assuming this is the kind of meaning, it would be really helpful if you identified which of the stories are cap and which stories cannot be described in this way. It sounds like you must have looked into all the stories to have found that 90% have crumbled under scrutiny.
Thanks for doing this sterling work, it is great that people care enough to dig down into stories and check whether they are true or not. I wish every member of Struthers took the time to look into these stories and ask leaders and other witnesses about them.
Do you mind sharing the scrutiny you have conducted? Did you interview the individuals and others who were witnesses, and speak to the leaders about these stories? Were people from all of the branches happy to speak to you? Many of the people on this forum have tried to speak to the leaders but found them unwilling to discuss these issues, so if leaders have now spoken to you about what happened in these cases in a way that allows proper scrutiny, that is real progress.
If you share what the leaders have said about specific cases and any other evidence and scrutiny you have brought to bear, we are a step closer to dealing with all of these matters in the kind of open honest way the bible suggests.
