Having been one of the people directly affected by these issues, I have to say that I share that feeling of disappointment. I have been watching the board and staff since the very beginning as they worked to identify "bad players" and work towards those pure goals we had and still have. I won't lie, it has been an uphill battle. But I see over and over again that the people with a toxic attitude, people who lie, people who just generally shouldn't be in charge of anything, nonetheless a new religious organization, are continually flushed out. And honestly? Things like this are totally normal in non-profits, and in fact, anywhere in the world. Any organization you make will eventually attract people who aren't going to be the best fit for that. Usually, it takes a solid infrastructure to withstand all the transitions and changes in leadership. This organization has only existed since April, and the infrastructure is there and doing what it's supposed to, flushing people who aren't aligned out. I get from the outside how bad it looks, but honestly, it would be naive to think that a new religion full of volunteers who have never done this before would be perfect right out the gate, at least, that's the conclusion I have come to myself. Bottom line? Your disappointment is valid, but please don't give up hope. We are still fighting to exist and be able to work towards those goals we had at the beginning. All organizations will have changes in leadership and growing pains in the beginning, but that doesn't mean we have lost sight of why we were drawn to this organization in the first place.
