Allegations
of Abuse in Institutions |
|
It's good that P J
Murphy has finally revealed why he's so vehemently anti-Christian. His claim that he was
abused as a boy by Salvation Army officers some 50 years ago (Waikato Times
letters, December 29) explains why he has persistently expressed hatred
towards God, Christianity and the Bible through his many letters to your
paper over the years. It's good that he's
come to recognise his unhappy childhood experiences as the root cause of his
anger and bitterness as an adult. But his attempts at revenge by besmirching
a worthwhile organisation through toxic letters to newspapers become tiresome
and are not solutions to anything. His generalisations and inferences are
unsubstantiated and seem intended to slander members of The Salvation Army. No credible
organisation condones child abuse and cannot be held responsible for the
offending of an individual employee. If Mr Murphy really wants justice, why
doesn't he go to the police himself and lay a complaint? I suggest he seek
professional counselling, deal with it and spare us the invectives. |
