I sort of saw this as true divine input. Since issues with our religious society seem compelled to keep him in the place of trust where he did so much harm, somebody else stepped in. I am not convinced he is hoping fix old wrongs, seeing that it was his mentoring where he got into trouble.
I hope he rejuvinates, And can spend the rest of his life actually doing something to right his wrongs in a different field he finds less enough. as an example, Donating lots of time caring for the sick as a volunteer. Work in a desolate shelter.

Ruth, I just want to say that I too understand the power and depth and the amazing ability of God to remodel lives. I had child abuse rip my family apart some years ago and i understand how ugly that sin is. I also recognize that in the eyes of a just and holy God that all sin is ugly. To those who are saying that folks who suffer from committed this sin cannot change is to say that God can't change them and I don't believe that for a minute. I believe that God can change minds and hearts and lives in an immense and powerful way and yes including child molesters. i have seen it firsthand in those that committed this sin. Forgiveness is a hard thing every so often but how hard was it for Jesus to forgive us? HE took the cross to be able to afford us that forgiveness. No I'm not a child molester but my sin is as black as men and women are. those which want to think that degrees of sin matter do not undertand the holiness of God. To him everything is SIN. I am so thankful for his grace and to confirm that I can stand before him one day washed in his blood unafraid of eternity. I pray the same for you. Ruth I pray for healing and comfort for Greg and I pray for comfort and energy for you and yours. God bless anyone.
hi Whateva, First I apologize for convinced that you considered sexual abuse to be a lightweight issue. I was wrong and so sorry you too suffered as a result of EVIL. I too am glad for you that panic attack and PTSD is a choice, that you are able to exert a measure of control and consciousness to your situation, air cleaner will add this. What I would give to not have to fight to get away from bed each day and not want to crawl under the covers at the hint of difficulty. The internet has made it easier for people like me to 'be' depressed and somewhat function in life by being engaged online. But I am to some extent functional, Having a wonderful family that loves and supports me. As I write this the Oprah show is on featuring abuse survivors with multiple personality disorder from extreme trauma. I recognize I am websites fortunate survivors, Very much so even though it all.
I was not absolutely ruled by depression and flashbacks. I had a very reliable career and 'life' of 'fun and leisure'. It wasn't until I got older and began to explore reoccuring themes and the death of my perp that it became intensified. I am finally getting angry which I've never been able to obtain, So who knows maybe wedding users and attendents anger out will help the depression. Therapy and making sure the monies are there was critical for me as they typically are for every survivor.
