Hi Thumb, It's good to see you posting once in a while. I think that what you are saying is very important. Yes, there are people attracted to minors who do terrible things. Yes, there are people attracted to minors who control their urges and work very effectively with children. And yes, good people sometimes do bad things. You said: Associating with pedophiles, helped me a lot along the way to an answer - and if only the world knew, that there is a lot of pedophiles out there who are not dangerous to children, but unfortunately you fade in the shadow of your evil peers. I think that it is crucial for each one of us to recognize our Dark Side. To realize that each of us has the ability and power to do good and evil. And that people do make bad judgements and misread situations. What is really the difference between me, someone who has never crossed the boundary by having sexual relations with a minor, and my good friend who has spent time in jail? Not very much, I might venture to say. We must realize that even though we are saved by His grace, we are not perfect. That God must help us every day to do His will, and fill our hearts with peace and joy. We, alone, are not able to accomplish this task. God guides us to communities of accountability to help us and CBF functions as one of these communities. Peace of Christ, Bach
