Like their shit 1610 01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:49,680 Speaker 1: is so organized that it's almost like being able to 1611 01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:54,400 Speaker 1: follow like a company policy about that. Whereas the Southern 1612 01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:57,679 Speaker 1: Baptist Convention just happened like they just had this reckoning 1613 01:18:57,840 --> 01:19:00,600 Speaker 1: like this year or last year. They found out it 1614 01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:03,479 Speaker 1: was mad abuse all throughout it. And it's like but 1615 01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:06,640 Speaker 1: because they don't organize in that way where it's like, 1616 01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:10,479 Speaker 1: you know, this person is the diocese of this chapter 1617 01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:14,559 Speaker 1: of this like so like it's it's harder to see 1618 01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:16,280 Speaker 1: it as like what it is, which is a culture 1619 01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:19,519 Speaker 1: of abuse, because it's like, oh no, this preacher got 1620 01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:21,479 Speaker 1: in a little weird thing with some girls or something. 1621 01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:23,799 Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just crazy. But that's that amc 1622 01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:26,679 Speaker 1: Zion down the street. That's right. That's not the same 1623 01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:29,080 Speaker 1: as the other where it's like the Catholic you know 1624 01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:31,840 Speaker 1: what it is. The Catholic churches are franchised. 1625 01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:35,679 Speaker 6: Like the Catholic Yes, and they have to keep order 1626 01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:38,479 Speaker 6: because that's the thing. They was like, somebody could actually 1627 01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:40,639 Speaker 6: do the Floatchartter was like, you moved from this place 1628 01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:42,519 Speaker 6: to this place, from this place to this place, you 1629 01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:43,559 Speaker 6: will hear these many years. 1630 01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:45,000 Speaker 2: You can't do that with a people. 1631 01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:49,640 Speaker 1: The Catholic church is like suing McDonald's and then the 1632 01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:53,040 Speaker 1: other A lot of the other churches are like if 1633 01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:56,040 Speaker 1: if every if it's just like a breakfast spot, you 1634 01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:57,880 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like it's not a waffle house 1635 01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:01,200 Speaker 1: or ips, just like we can't sue every breakfast spot, 1636 01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:03,960 Speaker 1: but you can suit a Catholic church and you can 1637 01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:06,680 Speaker 1: prove that they cover shit up. So I think that's 1638 01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:09,519 Speaker 1: the difference. But I don't like any organized religion because 1639 01:20:09,520 --> 01:20:13,400 Speaker 1: I feel like and ironically I feel the same way 1640 01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:16,320 Speaker 1: about the term mentorship.
