ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and FOX would be all over this if there was any truth to it. We don't need any more scandles and running down people. No I am not a big fan of JS. I am not going to watch 43 minutes of National Enquirer or Star Magazine. We need to be encouraging and lifting up people - not putting them down especially for something that happened almost 30 years ago - prostitution, murder or whatever.

God in the bible keeps on bringing on the past, the murder of Abel, the murder by Moses, and many other atrocities that only stir up people's emotions.
God did not hid the scandals of Abraham, the sin of Lot, the adultery of David or any of the other misdeeds of the Bible saints.

Why did God did not simply omit all those bad things that his people did?
