There is a glaring problem with the church's trying to cover up its crimes by making staff and members taking an oath of silence. Most of the accusations come from the victims and when accused an organization, even a religious one, cannot cover up the facts. Members and staff will have to tell what they know under strict legal rules. The only way to make sure it doesn't happen again is to come clean and work with authorities to punish the offenders. Cover-up only exacerbate the problems!
The Freedom From Religion Foundation has at least two full pages (sometimes three) of what's known as black collar crimes in every newsletter. These clergy fools think they can hide but, judging from the reaction of others to the outing, they cannot.

Not surprising. My local Unitarian church, which I'm a member of, doesn't allow any of us to say anything critical of them on their FB page, and I suppose if you did that anywhere else for public consumption, they would ostracize and sanction you. Very corporate type behavior, from groups that act just like corporations and businesses, only without being taxed. Shouldn't be that surprising, since many of the church leaders have worked in corporate cultures. They want obedience, conformity, and control, no dissent, and treat members the same as employees, depending on which type of organization they are. To which I say bullshit and defy them, since as long as my pledge money is good enough for them to take, my right to dissent, publicly if necessary, is also my right and justified. Paying them gives me the right to play and have free speech, at least as far as I'm concerned. If they want to run me out, they can stop having my money and shove it..

Comedy gose out the window for them. I'll even tell Hansel and Gretel fairytales, if the parents can't help them, yet the kids should be able to protect themselves.

If grifters admitted their crimes and were totally transparent, their whole scheme would soon fall apart. The christian religion is based on a book of whoppers. Why should the newest group of con men start telling the truth? Their business model is lies and cover ups.

Religion is and of itself is grooming people to be slaves to the people running the scam...
