As a matter of fact the death of my daughter and the issues that followed are well documented here from 2007. http://www.apostolicfriendsforum.com...ad.php?t=21885
I changed or omitted some information in the story on this thread so as not to reveal too much. Believe me, there is a part of me who would love nothing more than to reveal everything. Apparently you missed some points concerning the young man involved. He "was" a youth leader, but holds no position in the church now. He was employed by a church member but was fired after this come to light. This young man has since joined the military, is back home, married with a baby and has sought forgiveness from the church and one night during revival shortly after prayed through. As I have said, he is still a registered sex offender which will be on his record for a while. Most of the church are aware of the past situation and I'm sure he is under "supervision" by all. I really don't see how "my reputation" played into any of this as your trying to point out. After years of trying to get my then wife and daughter in the church this happened shortly after recieving the Holy Ghost and my wife lost all faith in the church and left me because I refused to stop going. She broad brushed all of religion for this. I myself went through a period staying out of church because of my anger and feelings of betrayal. I don't know what else to tell you but I will answer any questions you may have. If not here then I will answer you in PM.
Thanks,
She did go through with the meeting. I refrained from telling the other parents because after telling the first parents I got the sense of they would take care of it in their own home without doing so openly. Sometime later I found out other parents were dealing with the situation in their homes also. So basicly no one wanted to bring their "family laundry" out for everyone to see, but me I guess.
For those of you who are an active part of my Facebook life I don't believe I have to tell you, but just incase. The daughter I have portrayed here is not one of my and Jessica's girls.
