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.
