UPC Minister engaged to former Porn Star

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 CEV (4) Love is kind and patient, never jealous, boastful, proud, or (5) rude. Love isn't selfish or quick tempered. It doesn't keep a record of wrongs that others do. (6) Love rejoices in the truth, but not in evil. (7) Love is always supportive, loyal, hopeful, and trusting.

Considering her notoriety, I imagine SOME sort of statement was deemed necessary, although I would have still kept the whole thing as private as possible. I wasn't asked, though....

Maybe the article was a feeble attempt to change the *narrative* about who this woman is. That will be difficult to do, to say the least. And there was the woman at the well....

We have to be very careful with this sort of thing. Imagine her reading this and losing her victory. She could go right back to the world and fulfil the very thing people have noted here by reading this thread! Likely she won't read it. But what if she did? A wounded spirit cannot be hardly borne.

I don't disagree. At all. The relationship itself is problematic for a variety of reasons, but those situations are best dealt with by those nearest and dearest. My objection to this thread has to do with how it was started, framed, and the comments directed at Ms. DiGregorio's past as if that is our business. There are times when we need to compartmentalize even when we know things about people, in order to treat them as Jesus would.

I'm also a bit disappointed in our collective cynicism about God's ability to take a very broken life and make something wonderful of it.

The title of this thread goes along with the article title, "A former Oswego porn actress falls in love with a preacher; they're getting married."

They provided the picture for the article (this is noted in the article).

If you skim the comments, the reporter stated that the paper heard of their engagement and she called them. They obviously agreed to an interview and openly shared of her past. Crystal linked to a similar article from her own facebook page.

It doesn't sound to me that she has any problem with her past being brought up or discussed.

I agree with this. In my opinion, going public with an interview about their engagement was probably not the wisest thing to do. We can pray for them that they will be able to weather the many storms that they will face.

I did the google thing too ,like you said everything is triple ex she has so many films in her credits I didn't count, this is the hardest core of hard core lesbianism on down, i cant imagine what kind of a relationship they could have, it seems to me he at least ,is an attention freak cause as you can see everywhere they go, all eyes are going to be on them at conference whatever, I mean she just cant hide ,it will be a miracle if this works btw 400 to their wedding ?holy smokes what a show that will be all her co stars ? unimaginable !!.I too think they should have kept her film name private, but I suppose given her looks and given name people are going to search until they find her pic.

I would take this whole thing down for her sake!

I haven't really seen any terrible comments. It's mostly been about the wisdom of marrying a new convert.

BTW THEY made this public and she has done PORN...how hard do you think it will be for her to hear the comments of men who saw her doing porn when she walks down the street?

I imagine someone like that must have a thick skin already.

Why do I need to google it? I don't understand

The fact is, we are discussing what they put out there into the public media.
