...because I'm not in the habit of censoring threads or comments based on my personal opinion. That would be an abuse of my position as an admin.  I was a plain old member here before I was ever a member of the admin team, and I've always been allowed to voice my opinions. My opinion is that this thread stinks.  My opinion doesn't translate into admin action unless rules are also broken.
There are all sorts of conjectures we can make about the wisdom of this young man's choice in a wife, her sincerity, the future success or failure of their marriage, or even whether she will remain a Christian. I'm only saying that I don't think her past is an appropriate topic for the rest of us. That's all. I think most of us would feel protective about discussion of new converts in our home churches, and I have to wonder what makes this woman seem like fair game? Is it the nature of her past?
