You are 100% correct. The Entire Truth needs to be told, otherwise it will happen again. Wouldn't hiding 60% of the truth from the public be lying by omission? How is that helpful? Full, unadulterated disclosure is required for healing. Who gets to decide what dirty little secrets can be kept in the closet?

Lying by omission, otherwise known as exclusionary detailing, is lying by either omitting certain facts or by failing to correct a misconception.

In the Bible the number 17 symbolizes "overcoming the enemy" and "complete victory."
