Life is to short. I "was" a full blown alcoholic, the flaw in your analogy is that there is now a known, medical treatment for Alcoholism. Actually more than one, but i digress. There's been two fifths in my cupboard (not mine, someone i live withs) for the past year, and I have no interest in touching them, as the compulsion has been removed MEDICALLY, not spiritually (i.e AA). Now that I think about it, it is a good analogy. The craving is still there when you use a spiritual solution (AA) but is gone with the medical solution (sinclair method is the one i used). Chemical castration has been shown to have some efficacy.

How Long Should A Pedophile Be Shunned By The Church?
by Bubblegum Apotheosis inat what point do we know a pedophile has repented of his sin?
how long should we shun a child sex offender, should the watchtower have thrown out the sex offenders the congregation for five, ten, twenty years?
how should a congregation deal with a sex offender who thinks he has grappled and beaten his urges?.

Repenting of a sin isn't the issue. It's keeping kids safe.

HAHAHAHAH. Thanks, I needed a laugh. Memories of six year old me running to change the channel after "Mr. Rogers" when "Lilas, yoga, and you"
came on. That show scared me so bad. To answer your question, NO, I don't buy it at all. -
