a note to Dr Mickey

Hi Red,

I must say I am a little shocked that you are continuing to argue your points. At first I thought your blog was just a wind-up, but it appears you are serious. It may surprise you to know that I actually know a few folk in NTM and they are great people, with a real heart for Jesus. I am not against missions at all, and am currently actively involved in one, but I believe in treating our future missionary children well, and that NTM needs to ensure resolution for those who were hurt and that proper procedures are in place to safeguard those in the future, even if this costs money and people's time. Missionaries' children have every right to insist on this, and also to expose and insist on justice for those who have abused them.

I think it needs to be pointed out to you and more importantly to anyone reading that your views here do not likely reflect those of New Tribes Mission. I think you need to be careful about the way you speak about them, as this website is not helping their cause, but is bringing ridicule. Equally importantly, your blog is not helping those who were abused to find any resolution and is insulting.

Please prayerfully consider closing this, as you seem to have jumped to certain conclusions, and it really isn't your issue to carry. As you seem to suggest from the title of your last entry, you know this blog isn't working. You are not an MK, a missionary or part of NTM. It is not surprising that you are receiving what you term "hate mail" as your writings are inflammatory towards anyone who has ever been abused in this way, as well as any MK, which explains why so many people are commenting and why it is our business.

I have no further interest in discussion with you unless it is going to be constructive, well-thought out and balanced.

Regards, Dr Mikey, both a missionary and a missionary kid.

Hi doctor know it all,

I must say that I will never quite arguing as you say my points and of course I am not surpized that you know good people in NTM most of them are good that is what Ive' been saying all along cant' you read?  Wellcome to the real world.

I think it need to be pointet out that you do not speak for NTM any more then I do and you are less liekly to no what they think then I do because I support hem with my money not just my words I love in deed and in true.  I know that people will ridecule NTM and all people who love the lord that is the way it goes ever snce righeous Able was slain by Cane.

If the MKs were abussed twenty years ago and they stil arent' heeled then what makes you think they are going to get that way if they make NTM spend millions of dollars and spent time in court and infestigations while peple dye and go to hell if they arent' over it by now they will never get that way why is it unkind to say that?

I no this blog will never convince people like you but it is an encouaement to many in NTM who are trying to whitness for the Lord.  I am not an MK or part of NTM and I am a missionary ritht here where I live I whiteness for the Lord and NTM gets my money of coarse it is my business you just cant' answer what I say thats all.  Hate male is calling me names and I count it a blessing to suffur for the Lord.

I am not sorry that you are not intersted in any further conservation I am actually quit happy that you will finally be quite and if you will read you will learn a little just because your a docter dosnt' mean you know evrything.  I would rather be a fool for christ then a balanced person who attaks NTM they love Jesus and I suport them and if you want to tear them apart and try to rune there reputation than do it on the fanda eagles web sight this one is for people who Love NTM.

Regards, Red
