that just grosses me out.
That looks like total perp grooming right there!


I'm really sad for the individuals and families that mixed up with this organization!
Really breaks my heart!


Thank the Lord my children were instead taught about a well-formed conscience: "Man has the right to act in conscience and in freedom so as personally to make moral decisions. "He must not be forced to act contrary to his conscience. Nor must he be prevented from acting according to his conscience, especially in religious matters." (1782 of the Catholic catechism).
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to CCCyou again.

"Unconditional?" An unselfish love towards that of others and their well-being.

I have hated that word above all words since the earlier 70's, it brings back cringeworthy memories like I feel sick everytime I see it, and I am sure I'm not the only one who remembers that word with disgust when it was so often thrown around by freaks in the 60's, 70's.

I see that word and I am triggered back to crazy, crazy women like the kind that loved Chatlie so much back at the ranch.

Crazy women, couldnt even put clothes on them much less a bra betwixt them, talking bout free love and Damn the baby killers kinda freaks.

The two witness rule does not apply to criminal activity. Period. Leave it to the prosecutor to decide what witnesses are required.

You are free to do as thee please, as for me an my household, we will be obedient to Jehovah's laws.

James Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, in its Greek dictionary (1890, pp. 75, 76), remarks under phi·leʹo: “To be a friend to (fond of [an individual or an object]), i.e. have affection for (denoting personal attachment, as a matter of sentiment or feeling; while [a·ga·paʹo] is wider, embracing espec. the judgment and the deliberate assent of the will as a matter of principle, duty and propriety . . . ).”

Sorry guys ...I know what it means. I just wasn't seeing much of it displayed on this thread, especially by those who lay claim to the term. Pedophilia has been diagnosed as a mental disorder. Perhaps general recognition and a 'treatment program' should be encouraged rather than 'payback'. Society at large would benefit from this.
