In order to affirm the wisdom of whoever hired them, these “outside” organizations usually find whatever it is they are looking for. Some have been unfairly slimed.

NewSerious Question

Why is it that our first concern and comment is about people who have been unfairly slimed? Where is the concern for the victims or for the reputation of the IMB / SBC?

And I would rather have a dozen outside investigations than try and figure it and handle it “in house”. We have seen where that road leads.
