A victim mentality is something the Democrat party and civil rights leaders have pretty much institutionalized in the United States over the last 40 years. It is on that base that President Obama and the Democrats are appealing to class envy in this current election cycle (and the last one as well). Personal responsibility, something this country was founded upon, is a fading concept in America.
Sadly this victim mentality bleeds over to every aspect of life so we have a society where when people are wronged they never suck it up and keep on going. They use those wrongs as excuses not to achieve. By achieve I mean in work, their personal life, walk with God ,etc, etc.

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
What about the innocent victims of Edwin and Jordan Young?
Should these people just get over it and move on?

Of course, but the implication of Houston's post (and your continued juvenile barbs) is that the hurt isn't real. "Getting over it" can take a moment, or a lifetime, but I don't think we should be so cruel to tell someone who has been permanently scarred how they should respond to the experience.

Please quote me using Juvanile barbs to indicate the hurt is not real.
The only one casting barbs is you.,

Charnock is an Ultra Con?
Oh, I see, he (or she) see their behavior in others, and therefore lashes out at themselves.
OK, I feel a little better now.

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
Do we no longer believe that abusers, thieves and murderers should pay for their sins? Have we gone so far over the "love and mercy" cliff that we have abandoned the concepts of justice and restitution?
Restitution is a Bible doctrine. It is not wrong or unmerciful to desire an apology and/or vindication.
God Himself does not pardon the unrepentant.
Christians shouldn't either.
