No they never are. I applaud DocJohn's decision and expected it to be as such. I am actually surprised that this issue had never been confronted before considering how long PC has been around.

Please do not think that I did not judge this person, because I did. I am no less guilty than anyone else here.

I believe everything that was said here was good. I take no offense at anyone's response, for it was not directed at any one individual anyway.

We are all at different levels in our search for healing (which I believe includes forgiveness, whether it is recognized as such or not) and I hope that we can all recover quickly from this jaw-dropping, surreal-like episode.

I guess it is no secret that I am speaking of the admitted pedophile that posted here, but I thought I would say it for those who may not know what prompted all of this.

I must admit, I never even thought of this ever happening. It has shaken me to the core. Maybe that is why my response was so harsh. I just cannot allow myself to go back to that place, and expressing my belief in acceptance and forgiveness so fervently was a protection for me. This is one belief system I cannot let go of, for it keeps me from destroying myself.
