They have no choice but to do the 'right thing'. First Baptist, under Hyles, helped cover up a number of cases by minimizing or using scriptural threats against detractors ('thou shalt not touch the Lord's Anointed'). Schaap is not the beloved figure Jack Hyles, or for that matter, my own former pastor, Bob Gray (Trinity Baptist Church, Jacksonville, Florida, who was also arrested for multiple counts of child molestation), was. That makes it easy to throw him under the bus.

If they want to come clean, they're going to have to confront all these mistakes and coverups from their past. Please don't enable them by making it look like this is an anomaly. BTW, anyone know who Brent Stevens is? Check it out! It's been written about so much only those truly dedicated to keeping their heads in the sand regarding IFB (Independent Fundamental Baptist) abuse would claim not to know. In fact, he had his own chapter in Voyle Glover's Fundamental Seduction. Read it and let's get back to 'cover up'.
