Moscow-Pullman Daily News Letter to the Editor: “Protest disappointing, disturbing”

Moscow-Pullman Daily News, April 24, 2020

“I would also note that the protester’s sign pictured on the front page of Daily News on April 21 comparing Nazi propaganda to the honest efforts of our elected officials to keep us safe in this pandemic is misleading, offensive and odious. As we commemorate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp during Idaho Holocaust Remembrance Week, perhaps the protesters could educate themselves through materials made available online by the Wassmuth Center for Human Rights in Boise.” — Joanne Muneta Continue reading

“Jackie, my heart goes out to you. I can’t imagine it is easy to have your father’s actions made so public. Back when I believed there was a God, I prayed your father never treated you the way he did me. I have no doubt he was capable of that. You speak of repentance and forgiveness, but know your father has not taken the first step down that road. In the years that he abused me he would beg forgiveness and then assault me over and over again. He would lure me to him by asking to pray for me and then he would assault me. He convinced me that he was the only person who could love me and he forgave me for making him sin, for being a stumbling block. He only stopped because I finally stood up and said no. He begged me to come back to him even threatening suicide if I didn’t. Your father used and continues to use the doctrine of forgiveness to shield himself from consequences. I will only believe he understands the gravity of the evil he has perpetrated when he walks into the police department and turns himself in for sexually abusing a young girl. Until that day, if it ever comes, know that he is tricking you just like he did me so many times with his false remorse.” —Emilie Dye Continue reading

Another Sexual Abuser — This One a Kirk Officer

Same Story Cover Up, Different Victim

Emilie Dye, Facebook

“I was raised Christian and attended Logos School, a Christian high school. While in high school, I suffered sexual abuse at the hands of my church doctrine teacher, a respected elder of the church affiliated with my school. Even after his misconduct was discovered, Christ Church still allowed Jim B. Nance to serve communion. He remains an active member of that community while I was told to clean out my closet of slutty clothing, but I only owned school uniforms. The school decided to deal with the issue internally instead of immediately bringing the situation to the police. Because of this choice, I suffered additional years of abuse. The nightmares from that time still keep me up at night. I cried out to God over and over again. I begged him to end it or just to let me die. The shame I bore from what was happening to me was multiplied by feelings of guilt over my apparent sin. Jim fostered this notion using it to further torture and shame me into silence.” —Emilie Dye Continue reading
