Update Wayne Bechtol and Safety TeamPosted here 2025-08-06published on FB group 2x2 Church Updates #170 |
For anyone who believes that the
2x2 fellowhip has implimented the
slightest improvemnts in sexual abuse safety since the Dean
Bruer rape and abuse scandal broke in 2023.
This well written document proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that organisational indifference and interest in cover up is exactly the same. Much of this account developed within the last month or two. |

 Sheri Autrey And the ugly accounts of abuse keep coming and coming!!

2x2 is known for it's illicit inbred culture of secrecy - telling the truth is a
crime! We found out the painful way! “Know this: the Truth-Teller is a healer, a rebel, a disrupter, and a catalyst for change. The Truth-Teller shakes us to our core, makes us honest, confronts our demons, and validates our desires. The Truth-Teller is a spiritual guide, an artist, and a word warrior. The Truth-Teller is a sword that divides us and the healing balm that unites us. The Truth-Teller is wild and dangerous and the liberator we need. The Truth-Teller is not someone we arrive at becoming; the Truth-Teller is a choice we make every single day when we advocate for our voice. So speak your truth, feel the fear, and be the Truth-Teller you long to be because you are worthy of it.” Megan February on substack #165 |

Walker, a doula and flower farmer, and Rhonda Grillo, a brain optimization
practitioner and founder of Bridging the Gap on CSA. Together, they share their

a little-known but widespread religious community. The conversation bravely

-- As well, there are 100s and hundreds of allegations that are still under
investigation or haven't yet been taken up in the legal system. To remember, is that for every typical conviction and allegation multiple victims have most often been targeted and abused. This indicates that numbers are in the thousands within the fellowship who have suffered life destructive abuse.

Is there forgiveness for wrongdoings in alcoholism?
Yes of course there is. ---- But this forgiveness does not change the diagnosis
of alcoholism and this of course includes long term (often lifetime) suitable
constructive restrictions. --- Refusal to deal with the scientifically so well defined risks for relapse, is irresponsible at best, and clearly criminal in western society. This is what is happening within the 2x2 fellowship now. (And has been systematically happening for the last 100 years. #111

I think it is uncontestable that the 2x2 population in
general grossly under-estimates the life damage that sexual abuse is responsible
for. Especially workers have little compassion for the very large body of
victims with symptoms years later. Exaggeration is the first ugly word
that membership will come up with in discussion. And now paradoxly the major discussion in 2x2ism is how to deal with proven perpetrators. |

Descriptive letter by Coralyn Borecki of 2x2 CSA in Ontario Canada
#83 |
A well written description from Ontario Canada of the systematic 2x2 policy of actively protecting and supporting child sexual abusers .. and of then cruelly degrading and showing complete disregard for the moral and mental welfare of those who were available "sexual abuse objects" within the organisation . Is there a better word than ‘evil’ to describe the active and aware underwriters (participators) of such a long time immoral and well established organisation? 2024-07-2 4Shared on 'Exposing Abuse: 2x2s' FB group |

2024-07-05 A well written letter accurately
describing the extensive sexual abuse issue within the fellowship and expressing
a certain determination to deal with it. Yet it does
skillfully evade the hottest issue of them all -- "How and if perpetrators and
enablers" should be accepted and welcomed in the fellowship meeting culture!" FB group 2x2 Church Updates added the following note.Some added context that we found interesting and worth mentioning is that there are approximately 250-350 church members in the Netherlands, with 12-14 workers assigned to fields within the country. #74 |

This post and the previous are part of the same ugly power-grab sequence. The ultra self-righteous claim to be the "higest power" -- and the right to disregard their own miserable failures.

posts a convention list
#71 |
This is a list of conventions where workers with "perpetrator allegations" have been made welcome. Sadly, Canada is well represented on this list. Note that when 2x2 senior workers have welcomed folks with 'allegations', it also indicates that leadership has choosen to publicly declare the surviving victims as 'untruthful' and that their sexual trauma has been deemed insignificant to the organization.

Regarding legal proceedings for ex-worker Lee-Ann McChesney who was arrested Tuesday January 23, 2024 on charges of Sexual Assault and Sexual Exploitation
"Court went well today. We have scheduled another meeting with the Court on January 22, 2025. Pre-trial applications will be heard May 27-28. Unfortunately, witnesses are to be excluded from both of those proceedings. The trial is scheduled for September 8-12, 2025. We had to shift it from the August dates because the Court was worried we would not have a judge available to hear the matter." Published on FB group 2x2 Church Updates 2024-06-25

Kentville, Nova Scotia Canada, June 2024. To replace Ellershouse Convention the
workers are having a three day convention at Kentville, NS. Meetings will be
held from July 19-21 at NSCC Kingstec Campus. No meals or overnight
accommodations will be provided, however, the workers have been in touch with

In principle this letter says that as long as no forensic evidence gets left behind (witness), molesting children is declared acceptable within 2x2ism and perpetrators protected (This policy is justified by 2x2 bible interpretation!!) Not only have perpetrators been declared innocent ... those who have been exposed and victimized have been condemned as guilty of dishonesty. By this letter 2x2 leadership has clearly accused and determined that the victims are guilty of false accusation--- And condemned to that shame. Highly unlikely they have the slightest forensic proof for this accusation . These victims aren't even mentioned in this high sounding senior worker proclamation of clear self interest #65

Somewhat of a pityfull
discussion made in a futile attempt to salvage vanished
organizational dignity!! "There is widespread belief by workers that actions should be guided by common sense and the Spirit, yet that has failed over the last century. Being spirit-led, i.e. doing what I feel is right, has resulted in rampant dishonesty, manipulation and harm to thousands of victims and has violated Christ’s principles, virtues, compassion, truth and even basic justice." |

Gary Paul veteran worker interview "CSA is not a problem" !!??
From FB group 2x2 Church Updates #60 |
Gary Paul, current senior member of the WA/NID/AK ministry, offered an interview to ABC. In this interview, Gary states that women should not wear pants, he hasn't seen CSA to be a problem, the FBI investigation isn't necessary, and that the vulnerability of families with ministers staying in their homes is the way the ministry was intended. There are many other highly alarming statements. Please watch.

On June 13, 2024, ABC Hulu will air a 50-minute segment about sexual abuse in a secret sect referred to as the "2x2s." Part of the segment tells my story about being sexually assaulted in 1982 by Steve Rohs when I was 14 years old. Since 1986, I have been pleading for the 2x2 leadership to protect other youth from Steve Rohs. They refused. I have since learned that my experience was not isolated, and child sexual assault and sexual assault is rampant in the organization. This has caused me to commit a significant part of my life to expose the widespread abuse in the 2x2s to protect others. When I started this mission of exposure, I could never have predicted that 38 years later there would be a documentary exposing the massive amount of crimes within the 2x2 organization. I could never have predicted that my experience was just one of thousands; that countless other survivors like myself had been silenced for decades; or, that the 2x2 leadership would protect and promote pedophiles and perpetrators within the organization. Now, the crimes and corruption of the 2x2s is finally brought to light for the entire world to see in this stunningly accurate and factual documentary produced by Lauren Lantry of ABC. Despite having to relive the abuse, I feel honored to be a part of this project. I am filled with gratitude for the research and integrity that Lauren Lantry and ABC have displayed through these last several months in producing this documentary. I am only one of many survivors who participated in this documentary. I admire and respect every survivor whose courage and bravery allowed their voice to be heard in this documentary. My heart goes out to all survivors of the corrupt 2x2 organization. My hope and prayers are healing for each and every one of you. https://www.hulu.com/.../af1993c5-df67-4d5d-b1e9...Together we are making a difference~ |

A key term in recent discussions about 2x2 moral issues is "allegation." An allegation is essentially a well-founded and shared suspicion/suggestion of some form of misconduct. It does not necessarily require forensic evidence. When evaluating an allegation, the burden of proof need not rest on the identified victim but more on the alleged offender. The term "allegation" then remains active until the matter be conclusively resolved #58 |

This post is particularly significant to me because it addresses numerous forms of abuse beyond child sexual abuse. These other forms of abuse are equally pervasive and devastating within the group but have received less focus in current discussions. Visitors to Canada with allegations
(this includes Canadian workers labouring abroad) You will find, in the
following google document, information about workers with allegations, who
visited (mostly Eastern) Canada during the years 1972-2023. ****This document was vetted by investigator Cynthia Liles at AFTT.***Shared on 'Exposing Abuse: 2x2s' FB group #57

A contraversial document naming
allegations of many of the workers with top positions within 2x2ism
Explanation from
FB group
'Exposing
Abuse: 2x2s'
There has been some confusion about the two Google docs I posted. First, they are not mine and I did not compile the information. The owner of the docs asked if they could be shared here and so I agreed. Second, the dates on the document are the dates the worker was attending that convention. It does not mean that they abused someone at each convention they attended. There is also a column that lists their allegations. Third, this was only compiled with a few conventions in Eastern Canada from 1972 to 2023. So it is not a complete lists of all the different conventions across Canada. Lastly, since we don't have the information as to what year they abused someone, we just lists all the conventions they have attended. I hope this brings a bit more of an understanding on how to read the two documents. |

Hard to understand that inspite of the never

the self-good internal teaching that they are supreme in their standing before
God. That they alone represent Gods people on the earth!!!!!??? They persistantly claim that all other groups on the earth are less favored by God. |
