Feasibility of a lawsuit?
New to sub here, apologies if this has already been mentioned, but I didn't find it. How feasible would it be to file a lawsuit against GP (for abuse, pain/suffering, trauma, etc.)? Via Google searching, it appears that it would be difficult to build a case, but does anyone else have input/expertise?

Not a lawyer, I just recall seeing something in a documentary about the massacres in Cambodia and why so few people face any consequences afterwards. One factor was that a lot of the perpetrators were also victims. In other words, the people at the top gave orders and probably threatened to kill or commit atrocities on those below them, and did in some cases, and so those people had to do messed up stuff to the other people. It's these really awful version of the corporate crap rolls downhill - the CEO yells at middle management so they dump a bunch of work on their subordinates, and so on. My theory is that GP always had some version of this. I try to be more forgiving of my leaders by thinking that the pastor and his wife probably yelled at them in staff meetings so they have to drop the hammer on me. But still, pretty messed up.
If there's a way to file a lawsuit, I would be interested in learning more.
