If anyone was connected to Jack at the Rock in Fort Collins - trying to piece something together but can't remember if this mess happened in 2001 or 2002 or the last name of Jack.  He was a leader who was publically excommunicated and convicted of sexual assault.  Leaders of the Rock told the whole church he was preying on church members.   (I happen to know this was true first hand)   I want to be sensitive to those who were victimized and I'm not sure it is best to post this on public forum.  Please please if you remember or are connected to this at all - please leave out the names of any victims!!!  But if you are connected - do you remember if the public excommunicating of Jack - was that in 2002?  or his last name?  I honestly just can not remember.  I am trying to find a record because of something that has happened in the new town I live in.

 I was there when that happened. I was a small group leader and it definately was a big concern. Jack was not even close to being a leader. Steve Bush told the leadership core what was happening with him. There was no excommunication that took place because he went to jail. In fact he should still be in jail

In defense of GCx, this is common to nearly every church/denomination/whathaveyou around...just look at the catholic church. How The Rock handled the situation is probably what counts. Did they protect their members or was there some strain of "GCxness" which made it easier for this man to act as a predator?

Everything was handled well and swiftly once it came to light.

Sure it was: too controversial, too damning and embarrassing, not to be. Now how about the same for all those people GC keeps running over when they're told the leaders are also subject to God's word like everyone else?
