Ok as someone who is interested in the possibility of attending the Jesus Army (being on sites and a forum like this one is part of due diligence) I have to say that considering the sheer numbers of members in and out of community plus those who visit, latch on and leave and generally satellite around the ja, I would be more than prepared to stick my neck out and suggest that compared to the population of the UK as a whole, these incidents are likely to be as rare as those in any other similarly sized sample group from any walk of life. Saying the ja should be stopped as a result of these rare incidents is as sensible as saying that british society as
A whole should be stopped.

Fair comment and debate is one thing but using a forum simply to hate on a group flies in the face of the freedoms upon which our nation is founded. Can we please try to stick to reason even if we believe we are speaking against others who don't. After all, employing the same attitude as those we oppose really makes us no better than those whome we are judging.

In love, G.
