My regrets for them... Ordinary laestadians are usually not been <br />informed the issues before. Or they have not considered true the news that have been in the media and Internet in two last years.<br /><br />The Finnish Minister of Justice Tuija Brax said today that she is shocked and very concerned about the extent of the issue. The Central Criminal Police has already started investigations on the SRK. <br /><br />One serious question is whether the members of the board are able to stay and manage the community of 35 000 official adult members (and 50 000 children under 18 years) during the ongoing police investigations. This discussion has not even started in the circle of Conservative Laestadians. <br /><br />It seems that the leaders don't have understanding the seriousness of the situation.<br /><br />XsaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088717.post-25926271251690606922011-04-15T13:37:30.107-07:002011-04-15T13:37:30.107-07:00I want to point out......this did not take place i...I want to point out......this did not take place in the OALC in Finland. This was a different Laestadiaus branch. Very sad that this happened!!! Very sad that this was covered up!!!! I completely uphold the forgiveness of sins that is taught in the OALC, but when someone falls into something like this, they need to serve justice as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
