believe me i never will. i could tell you some heartbreaking stories if this wasn't being read by kids. used to be real common to see runaway 12-14 year olds hanging around truckstops looking for a "ride"


looks like all the finger pointing by protestant religions may need to be refocused however

lol

That's gonna leave a mark.

There are some very deep wounds in some people. And it seems they have not healed from whatever happened in their past.

Someone dumped their junk on them.
Now they want to dump that same junk on us.
On an early Monday to start a nice week no less.
Same old sin story.
No thanks.

Need to be dealt with, I don't care who they are associated with

A pedophile is a pedophile no matter what suit they wear. If one was found in the church I attend it would be so difficult to turn the other cheek and I would likely have to be asking forgiveness for not doing so.

Cops have really cracked down in the last 10 years or so. Used to be common to see these young kids working a parking lot that wasn't "claimed" by whoever was controlling the drug/ sex trade in the notorious spots of Ontario CA, East St Louis, Tucson etc. I dont want to know what makes a 12 y/o choose sex work for a truckdriver/pimp over living at home. Not all runaways made it to LA or San Fran to get recruited.

doesn't change the fact that clergy seem to be prone to this. wonder why that is? perhaps denial that they have the birth defect now called "gay"?

It's because our civil culture has turned the other cheek, so now we as church elders require safety training for mass shooters (Sutherland Springs was down the road 5 miles from our church)... we require all staff to be trained how to identify predators (sexual predators in our county is at an all time high) and on and on.

All the separation of the church from the state have received your reward. Finally! Americans can go about life safe and sound with no church folks making 'em do things they don't wanna do.
(It's separation of the state from the church by the way but liberal judges turned it upside down as they usually do all things)

Church is reacting to society.... simple as that.
Shooters and sexual predators and more.
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Won't you be.... my neighbor.

Mark, are you suggesting that preying on children is a NEW thing rather than something we are now shining light on and trying to stop? As usual your post is vague and full of allegory

A different topic here. When I posted the other day that clergy running government terrified me you said clergy was not interested in doing that????????????????

"Won't you be.... my neighbor." We are all each others neighbor.......jk

My post isn't vague. You're just too close to the flame to see that it's hot.
Here, on a Monday, I'll get to the punch line.

Why do you repeatedly post about what you despise?
The Lord Jesus Christ and his followers.

You're way to giddy about rock chucking.
Hope that wasn't too vague.

Blessings,

So you want to deflect? I get that.

That article is new. Just put out there today. Or I would have posted it before. Your right though. I do despise pedophiles.

Back now to the original post. It seems preying on children is not primarily the realm of Catholicism or Mormons.

I can't help but wonder if it is their way of dealing with desires they don't want to have. Desires they tell and have been told are a choice. To ashamed of them to ever put a voice to them. So instead they hurt others.

You're the definition of short deflective answers on these topics.
Throw a rock.
Run.
Taunt.
Run.
Thanks for helping the church.

It's been a long weekend dealing with human hardship so thanks for the chucking from the easy seats.
As always.
You wanna suit up and get it the game rather than chucking?
Our world could sure use helping hands. We're short. Real short.
We've got enough Monday morning quarterbacks who say they are taking the high road, while they tell others they are on the low road.
Congratulations danny for being perfecto.

Blessings,
Mark

Whatever you say is your truth.

sounds like your one wanting to cover for them

I say shine light on this horror. No matter what you think is causing it. People need to be aware to protect their children. These predators are good at hiding in plain sight

There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man. That's Paul writing to believers. We all have the propensity to sin, just different flavors, but just because you're not tempted in that particular way doesn't mean you couldn't be.
