Story going around

[John]

I TRUELY HOPE & PRAY THAT I HAVE SOMEHOW MISUNDERSTOOD THIS ENTIRE STORY!
But, I'm so agitated after hearing it that I must share the story going around:

"35" year old [non "liberty community?"] guy paying big bucks to sleep on his girlfriend's couch and some of his friends wonder why he would ever pay so much...

Well, supposedly, the girlfriend's 15 year old sister "sneaks" into "bed" with 35yo - while 35yo "quite innocently" - and APPERENTLY QUITE SOUNDLY - sleeps...

Person telling the story seems to say that the 35yo has repeatedly been having sex with 15yo, BUT 35yo can't help what 15yo keeps "doing to him"... After all, storyteller says; "The 15yo is acting like a little slut."

When storyteller is asked if he is REALY! REALY! ACTUALLY PUTTING THIS ALL ON THE 15yo, the storyteller responds that the girl's mother probably shares some of the responsibility...

AS IF ALL THIS WERE NOT ALL BAD ENOUGH: It is said that the 35yo is now paying for 15yo to have an abortion, with money from storyteller. AND - IT IS QUITE UNCLEAR IF AN ABORTION IS EVEN ACTUALY SOMETHING THE 15yo EVEN WANTS TO HAVE DONE.

AGAIN: I HOPE & PRAY THAT I HAVE SOMEHOW MISUNDERSTOOD THIS ENTIRE STORY!

As the Holy Guy of the community you might interview the people.

I'm obviously not inside the gossip loop, nor do I desire to be.

Anonymous third-hand reports of salacious gossip don't help anyone.

[Tom Sawyer]

Sordid things... sometimes continue because nice people are uncomfortable saying anything.

Some call it gossip... I think it can also serve as social intelligence. Our kid has been protected because someone had the courage to tell us what they knew of the persons habits.

Are you warning us John
Or do some of us know this person and you might want help down the road?
I like Jim's idea as a helpful friend in Grafton (or wherever this is) you could ask around since you are concerned.

Thank goodness Tom!  I think if you get to know people well enough you get a feel for the gossipers and the truly concerned that say something for a good reason.

Sorry to leave you all hanging...
I've been very busy with LOTS OF other stuff - but I have continued to have "some conversations" ...
BTW, This "non-Liberty guy"(?) is not in Grafton...

I've gleaned a few more specific points of "gossip"... Little bits info about folks in/around the story are apparently leaking in several directions... I'm concerned about individuals.
I will continue to have "the courage" to bring these issues right to those involved, when it seems to make sense, if and when I can.

I'll soon be talking to more than one individual involved about:
"So, do you see that this is quite clearly a "path" you are on?
"Have you though about the "path," and can you see where it clearly leads?
"Even if you think you can't get instantly off the path, do you know that at least you don't have to keep going in the same direction? ..."

Sometimes my job really SUCKS.
