Yeah, I can see that. Most dominant groups who have for generations forced their religion upon minority groups and who have for an equal amount of time used their religion as a litmus test for their selection of public service officials, I do hear that those majority groups often have highly developed persecution complexes as a result of their centuries of religious privilege. 2 minutes ago, twa said: yes, but then they exist for a reason. anyone know what the charge would have been back then? Yeah, back then in Alabama he would have had to marry her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming child molestation and giving alcohol to a minor was illegal back then. They can change the law on time limits if they really wanted to. I think Alabama should look into ending limitations on sex crimes. Haven't really seen any one on the ground in Alabama talking about that. This should be a nationwide movement.

We need that example in the Senate next year and plastered in ads everywhere. A Senator US Moore is the Democrats best weapon in 2018. See, Roy Moore, is everything the GOP stands for. Do you want GOP candidate X to represent you? Roy Moore can be a subject for 2018 voters without him being in the US Senate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bozo the kKklown Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Quote We need to talk about the segment of American culture that probably doesn't think the allegations against Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore are particularly damning, the segment that will blanch at only two accusations in the Washington Post expose: He pursued a 14-year-old-girl without first getting her parents' permission, and he initiated sexual contact outside of marriage. That segment is evangelicalism. In that world, which Moore travels in and I grew up in, 14-year-old girls courting adult men isn't uncommon. I use the phrase "14-year-old girls courting adult men," rather than "adult men courting 14-year-old girls," for a reason: Evangelicals routinely frame these relationships in those terms. That's how I was introduced to these relationships as a home-schooled teenager in the 1990s, and it's the language that my friends and I would use to discuss girls we knew who were in parent-sanctioned relationships with older men.One popular courtship story that was told and retold in home-school circles during the 1990s was that of Matthew and Maranatha Chapman, who turned their history into a successful career promoting young marriage. Most audiences, however, didn't realize just how young the Chapmans had in mind until the site Homeschoolers Anonymous and the blogger Libby Annerevealed that Matthew was 27 and Maranatha was 15 when they married. Libby Anne also drew mainstream attention to Matthew Chapman's writings, in which he argued that parents should consider marriage for their daughters in their "middle-teens." At that point the Chapmans stopped receiving quite so many speaking invitations.Child marriage advocate Vaughn Ohlman followed more or less the same arc. He made a career out of speaking at home-school conventions until the wider world heard tell — again thanks to Homeschoolers Anonymous — of his planned retreat for families to arrange child marriages."Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson advocated for adult men to marry 15- and 16-year-old girlsand deemed age 20 too old because "you wait until they get to be 20 years old, the only picking that's going to take place is your pocket." Home-school leader Kevin Swanson, whose 2015 convention was attended by several Republican presidential candidates, defended Robertson on his radio show after the story broke. Advocating for child marriage hasn't slowed down Robertson's career. He just got a new show on the conservative digital network CRTV.As a teenager, I attended a lecture on courtship by a home-school speaker who was popular at the time. He praised the idea of "early courtship" so the girl could be molded into the best possible help meet for her future husband. The girl's father was expected to direct her education after the courtship began so she could help her future husband in his work. http://beta.latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la-oe-brightbill-roy-moore-evangelical-culture-20171110-story.html There is no difference between this crap and what we criticize fundamentalist Muslims over. IMO, they are the same people. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Fundamentalist religions advocate for child marriage because they are the most patriarchal. Mold young girls to be a help meet for their husbands. It's a disgusting practice no matter which of the Abrahamic religions, Jewish, Islam (these men get four child brides), and Christian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, they are the same people. While that writer is a weee bit biased, it certainly was a problem in the past and probably still is in some areas. Not familiar with IFB churches, but was raised in a fundamentalist evangalistic Baptist church (ABA) Don't recall any young girls in our churches getting married off before 18, much less to a much older fella, it was discouraged if anything....course we were city folk I did marry a younger woman, almost delayed it when I realized she was not quite 21. We did have a lady there that married a guy 20 yrs younger(which some had a issue with) They were rather strict about premarital sex and such, though there were some hound dogs like my brother. historically and even today the coming out age for girls tends to be about two yrs younger than is general in the north. of course further south like Mexico it goes even younger.

Elessar78 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 With pedophiles there always more victims. Surprised more aren’t coming forward. Prob have families. But pedophiles also are good at grooming their victims-to the extent that victims even come to the defense of their molester. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
