This is so gross I don't want to quote it. At the time I was not clued in tho the allegations in Anaheim. I will make a guess here - not a fact- could anyone think that perhaps the legal authorities were involved with the bailey situation? thus prompting the severing the ties with mel?

I has been a while, but I can sort of fill in your blanks and will have to jog my memory a bit. There is a lot of family connections which kept thing going. Here is a brief Wikepeidia link. John married First off JRS was the son of the of the founder of Christian Tabernacle in Washington, Iowa. John had I think 3 sisters ( I'm a a blank right now so I may have to do some correcting)

Onion, I stand some what corrected. You aren't my old JR High buddy are you? I kind of figured they hired the big guns. A big lawyer in CA that defended some well known was I think a buddy of JRS years ago. My guesses were off- the cheap skates. So you know far more about the law than I do. WOW!

Hi Puddington, I believe you nailed it. often time abusers do not realize they abuse. That pattern of behavior may be all they had known themselves. Of course they will not seek help but make excuses and justify their action, "YOU made me do it." to the victims. Victims are silent.they may feel they were all at fault. the idea planted by the abuser. I have pointed out before ab

Onion, what you wrote was just beautiful for lack of better words on my part. you confirmed what I had suspected. it is disgusting to think that those child or vulnerable persons abuse protection laws were so misguided to cover -up rather than to keep children safe.

I'm just 3 years late reading about the alleged issue with M and cotton. AS I recall he was a very nice family man. I do not recall him calling me a "bitch" like the other boys called me. I respected him. That recollection is no proof of anything. To me the cotton and m just sounds like a bad joke. Maybe the possible rumors was a 'Wag the dog" to throw something
