You say she says her ex conned her out of 250 grand and his church backs him. Something's not right about this picture. I've been in fundie churches all my life and I just don't see all these people in the church backing up a con man if indeed that's what happened.
Why not?
People in churches and in families have traditionally and consistently believed the word of the pastor over the word of a victim.
There have been innumerable cases of a mother disbelieving her child is being sexually abused by her husband, even when the evidence is apparent.
She just didn't want to know, so she didn't.
People do all sorts of mental gymnastics in order to avoid emotional pain and disillusionment.
It's really quite a common occurence.
