From the article:

Half of Protestant pastors say they preach to their churches about domestic and sexual violence, an increase from four years ago, when only a third said they raised the issue, a new survey shows.
LifeWay Research took a detailed look at Protestant clergy’s attitudes toward abuse and harassment and what they’ve done about it, surveying 1,000 pastors by phone during the summer of 2018 as the #MeToo and #ChurchToo movements dominated the news.

2. And judgment is judgment.

Perhaps you have some secret insight into their real motivation.

3. And I trust my judgment.

It's been honed for 73 years, now.

5. And that means?

Nothing, other than you trust your own imperfect judgment.

8. Yes, that's what it means.

Very perceptive.

6. Are you engaging in whataboutism?

Yes, you are.

[MineralMan]

7. No. It's just some other data from the same source.

Not even related to this thread.

9. Your entire response is classic whatboutism.

You declined to discuss the subject and pivoted to a different topic in an attempt to deflect.

And that misunderstanding of the logical fallacy explains many of the responses here.
