The MS denied having sex with her, and because there was not two witnesses to the event, the MS got off scot free

I remember being taught that point at an elders school.Q] If a one party confessed to sex, but the other denied it,what to do? Even if you believe the confessor to be delusional?

A] treat the one as a self confessed fornicator, and the other as innocent since there are no witnesses....

Oompa....I hope it works out for his long term good , take care man

Wow. Given what they believe about df'd people, you'd think they would try their hardest not to df people who are repentant. I mean, what if Armageddon comes tomorrow? Would that be blood on their hands?

Oompa, I hope this will be a wake up for your son. And I hope you're getting better.

Sending you a pm too.

oompa try to go into the PM now and it will probably open. The secret is, try once, it won't work. Go away into something else (like active topics), go back to your pm and it should open.

About your son, I hope he is OK. It would be a terrible shock to him. Hope you're OK too.

...he is now out on his own and totally isolated for the most part...i am worried about him...........oompa

Don't worry about him too much. It's life's hardest lessons that teach us the most valuable things. They give us wisdom. He's going to need to decide now whether fun is worth more in life than a rigid, boring, cold religion.

no more kool aid

Oompa, I do think you have a unique opportunity handed to you with regards your poor son. My husband (faded) has been "working" on a young DF'ed member of our extended family. Unfortunately this poor kid was married so now he is divorced, being shunned by entire family and every friend he has ever known. He is constantly being warned about worldly associates. Get this, he isn't even free to remarry!!! So this kid is expected to have no social contact with anyone for as long as they say (already been going on 2yrs) and then go back and live alone the rest of his life. Really is laughable! I hope you can make some headway with your son, I guarantee he is seeing things from a different vantage point now, he probably just wants back as a reflex. Give him time and review the Steve Hassan books and follow the instructions, it works. NMKA
