Hahaha!! Seriously, right? Problem with me would be that to ask for forgiveness, that means you have to be feeling sorry for what you did...can you be forgiven for what you aren't sorry you did...cuz, I don't think I'd be feeling sorry? :D

NCIC...LOL, I think it is b/c I was trying to be covert in getting my email address out to others by taking advantage of the email option (which we don't have at RITAN) and I was saying to "click the link below that starts with an 'e' and ends with an 'l'". I don't know if I'm breaking rules or not by doing so, so I was trying not to completely advertise it. I think she was just playing around in response to that post.

NCIC & Sparkles..this is cracking me up! NCIC...I don't know why I do
that ...Guess I was just following Sparkles lead, she's been on this site a lot longer than I have and thought she knew something I didn't.
Your soo funny!

Sparkles, I could not email you because my mail client is not set up for a link like that. :(

Probably the same type of deviant that does the same thing. This nauseates me to no end.

Mine said the same thing when I tried to email Morningstar!

It sickens me too - and God more!

God help our children!!!

No! No! and No! Totally disgusting!!

Which brings up the point, what is true forgiveness? I believe it means you don't carry out what you want to. It means you no longer want to kill that person who violated you. It's more like a "bye,bye....have a nice life". I don't believe in the least that it means allowing the perpetrator to have access to you or any innocent ever again. That's not saying that they shouldn't have to take responsibility in a court of law. We have to pay the consequences here too.
I believe the important part is when we go to the Lord and say, "Lord, I want to forgive but I don't know how." I've seen freak things happen to people who've molested children and it was not by the hand of man.

Shiloh said: "I don't believe in the least that it means allowing the perpetrator to have access to you or any innocent ever again."

I agree with that 100 percent. And here is the thing...you can forgive the sinner and hate the sin...
but, to date, there is no known "cure" from phsychology/science/medical field for pedophiles. It would take an act of God to heal them. Pedophiles commit crimes AGAINST someone. What rights are they asking for? To be allowed to sin against innocents?

This means a pedophile always desires the horrific and you don't know when they will sin again. They compromised their legal rights by their own acts/choice to sin and need confinement or being monitored.

So upsetting to think about...

Oh, Sparkles, I know exactly where you're coming from. Me too, sis. To this day I have trouble trusting people and making friends. When I described what I went through with my Christian therapist, she looked at me and asked, "What prevented you from being a prostitute, a drug addict, or an alcoholic?" I looked at her and said, "The grace of God." She smiled and said, "Yes, I can see that."

That's another reason why I love the Lord so much. He has given me strength through His grace, even during my backslidden years when I felt so alone and empty. He brought me back gently with His love, and removed those things in my life that I got entangled with in my pain.

One of the stories in the Bible that touches me so much is the woman who fell weeping at Jesus's feet, and wiped the tears off with her hair in gratitude for His love and mercy. I can sure relate to her. That's what I want to do myself when I first see Him.

Leenie & Sparkles..And now you are Washed by His Blood, and
nothing or no one can separate you from Him, not even horrific
events in our past. God Bless you Both. Love you Much!

Amen, Morningstar! I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't asked Jesus into my heart as my Savior as a teenager.

Love you, too, sis!

My father was a preacher. A very loving father and has been described as the closest thing to Jesus on this earth. I'm not sure I would go so far as to say that, after all he was human but he was a wonderful man!

To those of you who have expressed having a troubled past, I cannot relate with you but feel so deeply for you. I am so glad you have taken Jesus in to do what healing can be done here on earth. I'm saving each of you a special hug for our reunion - which is coming up VERY soon by the way

I agree, TMH. Even experts who deal with these people say they cannot be rehabilitated and the perpetrators themselves admit that in most cases. Would you or I allow our child or a another innocent victim to be around a child molestor and to to be alone or even want them to have to see that person? I think not. My job is to protect the innocents. If someone thinks I'm erring on that end, then so be it. Sometimes, I think people believe that forgiveness is sweeping it all under the rug and "let's just go back to normal." When we are told to forgive, that isn't what is meant. It means leave it in the Hands of God and He will carry out justice. It doesn't mean making someone a victim all over again.

Absolutely disgusting.

The minds of these people are sick, disgusting and insane! God help them!!!

God please come quickly there is not much more of this I can take...

Morningstar and Sparkles, lol, thank you for explaining, here is some camo for ya

This makes me so mad! I'm ready for fire and lightning to come down from Heaven. I posted the article on facebook, and one of the libertarian guys I have on my friends list told me that you can't really judge, it's complicated. I told him it wasn't complicated, its wrong, except I was shouting.

After having walked in on a family 'friend' molesting my daughter...and then sending the guy to prison, I can attest that it definitely is harmful. I'm convinced it opens many people to demonic influence, and imprints on them the type of person they're attracted to for life. Especially when this happens to little boys, many times it seems like they want to grow up and do the same to other little boys.

I agree, Servant!
AW7, I am so sorry and I know this is a serious thread... but I laughed so hard at that emoticon you posted. Isn't that exactly what you feel like?... Banging your head into the computer?

Shiloh,
Yes, it is definitely a serious issue and topic on this thread. That is why I reacted like I did.. I guess you can say I am angry and it's inconceivable and unfathomable these evil acts that are happening before us.

In my mind, as I was reading this thread, I said out loud to God, Oh no God, this cannot be happening right?

These people are insane with no moral compass and no God! They Just have down right, plain evil mindsets that do not have Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Like what's next? I just want to go home so badly, for this is not my home. I do not belong here anymore. May God's will be done on earth like it is in Heaven. Amen!

Jesus please come quickly...

Ugh. This makes me want to throw up. Humanity is going down the drain.

I believe God will include children in the rapture. However, do you guys think the people left behind will be able to procreate? I can't bear the thought of children being born during the tribulation and being molested by these sickos.

the liberal ACLU recenly sued the O administration , where are they for children ?
No rights for child abusers !
Perverts , molesters !
SODOM , we have passed it up , for sure
