The crazy thing is this: Two weeks ago, I reconnected with an old friend whom I had not spoken to in probably 10 years. He gradcuated from HAC in 1985. He was a friend of Schaap, got lots of counsel from him, and taked often about knowing DH. I discounted it as ignorance on his part. But now that there is such overwhelming evidence that DH is/was a lying, adulterous, and now raping man, I thought surely, my friend won't still speak those names in hushed tones. Sure enough, he said, halfway through the conversation, "Dave Hyles called me and said he had the perfect ministry job for me."
I stopped and pondered just hanging up, but continued. He went on to name drop two more times. That was when I slowly ended the call and determined that it was time to end this decades long friendship. 36 years we've known each other. And he is still star-struck by these people.
I don't care if you all think that this is old news. It affects people I know in the here and now. Hyles should be in prison, not doling out ministry jobs.
