He should have paid for sex at a place that did not engage in illegal trafficking. Then he would not have been a hypocrite. When the girls can't speak a lick of English, that should be a hint.

I think if he knew these women were forced, then he would have been a hypocrite. Maybe he didn't know.

What if a woman slept with a married man without knowing it, does it make a woman Homewrecker?

It seems there are some people who just cannot be alone. You're right - at what point does a person look in the mirror and say, 'Maybe it's me.....'
They’ve done pretty well in life financially....but still, not so well after that second divorce. God forbid that child support is involved.

These are smart guys EXCEPT when it comes to matters of the heart. I’ve told them several times to get girlfriends and avoid walking down aisles...most won’t listen. I’ve told them that it ain’t cool to joke around about being married 3 and 4 times. It actually pathetic, not funny.

If they can barely speak English, that’s a pretty blatant clue.

One has nothing to do with the other. He didn't kidnap anyone, both were consenting adults, and his only crime was paying for sex.

I honestly don't understand what you're trying to do with a thread like this.
The only "crime" was getting caught.

Yes 2 consenting adults vs forcing someone to be a slave. Only one of those should be illegal.

The article says the women were forced to do it. So they we're human slaves , not self employed prostitutes.

Even if the girl in the massage parlor was trafficked?

It does not balance. Permitting a wrong is always damaging the right thing. The only way to balance doing a right thing is to practice the right thing yourself first.

If you fail because of human weakness, then the only balance that can be found is in attempting to correct your personal wrong first before you try to correct it in others.

That's the only support solid enough to hold you upright in the quicksand of hypocrisy.

I'm going to agree with you that there are self-righteous Christian hypocrites, but liberals dislike the ones who aren't just the same or more. And it's not as if just Christians are self-righteous hypocrites.

I've found pastors to be either incredibly slimy and savvy or incredibly naïve and unworldly. This one doesn't sound like he's in the former group or he would have gone a different route to have sex. I wouldn't assume he should have suspected these women were doing this against their will.

It's not only pathetic, but what woman in her right mind would take a chance on someone with such a poor track record, except women who were only interested in a meal ticket? Pretty sad any way you look at it.
