Guilt by association has always been high on the unspoken list of 'theocratic' crimes.
I kinda figured that.......but it's noticable that very few speak about the damage done to their mates - and what their mates are doing to counteract the damage.
I wish them well - and thank you for your response.
It was a great pleasure for me to have met Barb, hear her speak and share a meal (or two) with her as well. I was astounded by her courage and determination and wish to reassure you all that she knows EXACTLY what she's up against and has the personal fortitude to withstand the character asassination that will likely result from exercising her Bible-trained conscience (but prayers can't hurt!).
Barb,
That courage and determination is what motivated me to get in contact with Bill and offer to help where I could in the effort to change the terribly misguided "pedophile protection policy" that revictimizes victims of molestation. I am sorry that your friend declined to help herself and her daughter and I am sorry that your role as smoking gun was "outed" a bit earlier than expected. But I have no doubt that you will deal with this turn of events with aplomb and dignity.
Kudos.
With appreciation and gratitude for your continued work,
