From ages past, there have been several methods employed by institutions or structures to silence the truth, especially when uttered by individuals. Jesus himself was not spared of these strategies.
In India, a whistle blower dies sooner than later. He just disappears one day and appears dead on another day! Neither the media nor the neighbour is aware of who, what and where! In the West, I have come to realize, there is another tactic adopted. The one who brings to light the truth is discredited in public domain. He is stripped naked, and every and any of his past mistake is blown beyond proportions. The media loves it and sooner or later, the truth is buried under a pile of well orchestrated and manipulated mistakes of the individual. So the truth itself is not tackled, but the bearer of the truth is made to be a liar!
In a religious community, another subtle tactic is adopted. No one pays heed! Simple and easily done! The individual is not opposed, or criticized or silenced. The others just choose to grow deaf!
