The more stuff like this is talked about the less it disturbs us and the more normal things become that used to really distress us. We are being destroyed by our craving for information. We are bombarded with stuff 24/7 and we still want more. Yet we still seek to be in the know even to our own detriment. I am talking about myself as well.

Take a situation that is relevant this week. How much more tolerable has Lanny Wolfe become in some ranks. Years ago, you would have never heard of him singing on anyone's platform. Now, he is promoted as if nothing ever happened. Do I believe in forgivenss, yes! God is the only one who can forget so let's not kid ourselves. If he was truly repentant he would be satisfied to be a church janitor intead of wanting to be in the limelight again. But, my point is, do you see how tolerable we have become? Sickening!

I'm sorry, but I disagree with you on this. I think it's IMPERATIVE that people talk about abuse comfortably & openly; especially parents... especially to and around our children. Children suffer in silence because of fear - because of being afraid to discuss the unmentionable words/subjects that are never talked about. If children knew that they could go to their parents and speak aloud the dreaded words "sex," "penis," and all the other "bad" words, without their parents *gasping*, then abuse could be stopped early rather than the child having to continue suffering in silence.
