Yeah, very judgemental. I would personally email her back with facts and tell her that CP can be ANYTHING! If the state or fed believes it was for sexual gratification, they will put it under CP.

I left my church because of judgement. So sorry....

"That crowd" is majority of the population who buys into the lies...

It hurts because i was part of them. I understand them feeling that way but i don't see the need to come to me and express it just to cause pain to me his mom. I love the Lord but some of the people that claim to be his need some reminding of how to show his love.

I agree. She shouldn't have drive the knife in deeper. And I would express that to her. Let her know, that as a pastor's wife she needs to withhold judgement (as we all do).

Remind her, "Truly, what you did to the least of these brethren, you done to me." Matt. 25:40

Tell her thank you for her comments and sign it with this:

"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’

Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?'

And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'"
(Matthew 25.35-40 ESV)

You beat me to it ThoughtAs! lol

Yeah, great minds like alike...

thankyou so much and i appreciate the sounding board here with people who really understand. how ironic. haha the ones who are suppose to be the bad guys or related to them is ones here to console someone with the love of Christ. and not the church people. i can't say all church people but in this case. well... thanks.

Wow, OneOfThem. I would have never in a million years thought I would hear you say "I have no problem with god...." But yes, sadly some of us do not display the Christ like attitude we should be showing. And when we don't, it shows as a bad example to those who know we are believers and think all are like that...sigh.

I don't like people like that either. I had an old HS friend not show up to a reunion because he didn't wasn't to be confronted by others because he's gay. I tried to tell him that type of behavior would not be tolerated. Still he didn't go, and sort of glad he didn't bcz an old classmate went on a rant about his sexuality.

The hypocrisy of these good Christians knows no bounds. No, make that all good Americans. Just ask. Most have no problem with Americans killing thousands of children, as long as it is not theirs. And heaven forbid, there is no sexual context, as plain old death and destruction and maiming seems perfectly forgivable. Of non-Americans, of course.

From Iraq: "Iraqiyun, estimated 128,000 deaths from the time of the invasion until July, 2005. ... 55 percent of those killed were women, and children aged 12 and under". Source: http://bit.ly/17WbJ8X

And please google that wikileaks video where children in a van are assaulted and gravely wounded from a helicopter miles away over 10 minutes or more. After a number of innocent civilians and those coming to their aid were murdered in cold blood. These pilots have never been charged or disciplined. This, and the people that rationalize this sort of thing, I have a hard time forgiving.

I am so tired of these people like the minister's wife. I hope you realize you do not need people like that in your life.

Oh iam sorry she shouldn't of said that to you very judgmental of her.....point out to her this could happen to anyone and as a minister's wife she should be a bit more understanding then that.
You don't need people like this.

GBU

I think you need to explain to her that cp means ANYONE under the age of 18, not just little children, and it's up to LE to decide whether or not the they are under that age. I myself know a few adults that look 15 or 16, so any pics of them would be considered cp. I'd also explain to her that if things keep going the way they are, her OWN children are very much in danger of being accused and convicted of the same thing when they're older. I'd remind her that Jesus didn't come to the earth to help the righteous, but to help the sinners, and aren't we supposed to be like Him? Then I'd tell her that I'm praying for God to help her pull the plank out of her eye and that she never has to know the hate and judgment in her life that she's thrown your way. I really hope that somehow she can open her eyes to her hypocrisy. And I'll be praying for you and your son...God Bless!

This hypocracy is starting to anger me.... The judgement from everyone.... I want to scream sometimes.

Hello babybb.....
If it was me who had received this email from this woman...this would be my reply to her...

" Dear Ms/Mrs. Whomever,"
Thank you for the time for you to respond back to me. I know it was difficult for you to write back on such a sensitive subject.
I understand your fear and the wanting to protect your children... but my question is: protect them from what??
In my son's case, he was convicted of viewing CP off the internet. He himself didn't take, produce or upload these pictures. I am guessing here, but I very positive you or your husband has NOT taking nude pictures of your darling children and put them up on the internet? Correct??
Also, you may be unaware, but in some states and jurisdictions, it CAN and most likely would be considered a sex offense if you or your husband take those innocent pics of your little ones bathing, and sending those innocent pictures to Grandma in another state...that would be ( and has been) a Federal offense, punishable by very long prison sentence, and being on the Sex Offender registry for Life ! How sad that would be for you & your husband!! I mean, I WOULD understand and be supportive, but you know exactly how people react when they are uninformed-- all those snickers and innuendos behind your backs, and all that phony baloney about " Oh..WE will pray for you..." the catch-all, un-Christian phrase that basically means " sorry for your luck, sinner...but please...go straight to hell". But, I digress-- I know in your heart you know its wrong to judge and be judged-- we ALL know who has THAT power, and believe me, I pray on a daily basis to Him who knows all, and most importantly, knows my heart, and my sons' heart.
Yes, he did break the law, and was punished for it. He has admitted his wrong, and is doing everything in his power to continue his life. He has had more than his share of mean, obnoxious, arrogant holier-than-thou people who don't know the meaning of forgiveness, because they don't live it like Jesus said we need to do. He didn't come to Earth to for the saints, He came for the sinners--the broken, the lame, the infirm, the hopeless, the prostitutes, the addicts, the drunks-- these are what He considers His people. They got this, and so did Jesus. Sadly, those who today profess with their tongue but do not practice with their heart & soul to help others to the cross---they MAY look the part on the outside, but their inner hearts are unmoved. But that's okay...Jesus knows exactly who these people are, and, now, with the revelations in your email, so do I.
Have a Blessed Day!!
Sincerely yours,
A True Follower in Christ
