So she has "nothing to lose" since dad is not a preacher.
But yeah, I could see where this could be used with a motive of indictment in mind.
You know for sure that happens.
However, I do find it ironic that while open discussion of pentecostal history is apparently not welcome - middle-aged men trolling to be friends with teenaged young women is.
Now I'm not saying that every 42 year old man who sends a friends request to an 18 year old girl is a rapist or a molester.
BUT ... he's at least some guy with a fantasy of getting him a young chick. I'll say that without apology.
Of course you expect that on Myspace.
But some people believe nothing like that could happen on an "apostolic" board.
Parents, if you have minor children on there, you'd better be just as cautious as you are with Myspace or any other "worldly" networking site.

Timlan,
I am 42 years old, and while I am sure you were not pointing fingers, I must say the assertion that any 42 year old is having a fantasy for a young chick is offensive.
Firstly, any of the younger girls I have as "friends" their, are people that I all ready know. Daughters of friends, or my own daughter for example. Secondly, I sent not a one of them friend requests, I responded to them because I am all ready their frind in "real space", let alone cyber-space. Thirdly, you won't see many minors as my friends. If someone in that age group requests a friendship and I do not know them, it will be rejected.
Does this sort of thing happen? Sadly, you are correct, it does. I trust it is the exception and not the rule. If it is the rule, then we are in a sad state, indeed.
