An Amish man has been charged with sexual assaults
by Lost-In-Translation inhttp://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/03/us/03amish.html?hp.
an amish man has been charged with sexual assaults, dividing a congregation that prefers to handle disputes internally.. i have no idea why religious leaders believe that they have the authority to handle sexual assaults internally.
when a crime is committed they should contact the proper authorities..

Sen. Shelby Slams Census Bureau for Allowing Sex Offenders to Go Door-to-Door
by Lost-In-Translation ini cannot understand how the news media makes a huge deal about one sexual offender census worker going door-to-door, but ignores that the wtbs permits sexual offenders to go door-to-door.
the wtbs claims that they cannot prevent a "christian" sexual offender in the congregation from going door-to-door since that is part of "true" worship.
they care more about keeping dangerous predators out in field service than protecting innocent children and others.
