Sharing negative experiences or concerns should be left within our individual families and with close friends. That is, if you have a friend that you feel you can trust to share things with. JMHO.
I didn't defend DB on the issue of dying the hair using Matthew 5:36. I felt it was taken out of context, in that, it speaks of not having control over things. You do have control over what color you can dye your hair. I think we can differ on scripture, but I wouldn't bash his character.
If Sister Alvear had a bad experience, she should keep that to herself. Mainly, because the whole story wasn't told and DB isn't here to defend his actions or explain why he acted like he did. Even if he was wrong, he should have been given the opportunity to defend himself. |
PO, I consider you a friend on this forum and agree with 95% of your takes, but I think you've let emotion seep into this one and you're reading more into what Sis. Alvear has posted.
She has related a
personal experience of hers with DKB that happened many years ago. She's not repeating hearsay or gossip, but a personal account of her dealings with the man.
She also didn't bash him or the UPCI, in fact, she went the extra mile to note that it happened many years ago and that she loves the UPCI. She simply points out that, in her informed opinion, she felt like he dealt badly with a situation without having facts.
How can that be wrong or unethical of her to do? Surely there isn't some sort of code of silence around men that lead religious organizations.
