sawthruglassclearly said:I'm not sure what to think about all of this "information". It seems a little, to me, as if more mud is being thrown at Joy, after all she went through as a teenager. She was disgraced by DH and those who tried to defend him. I doubt she was "smuggled" anywhere, or passed around to other males. Her father made the choices he made back then regarding the situation with his daughter--her mother, too, for that matter! One has had to live with it and the other has since died. Let us not try to turn her into a promiscuous story line. Maybe there are people here in the forum who were intimately aware of the life and times of JER, at that time. I don't know. I was around back then and I remember how victimized she was; how people talked, whispered; the change in the way her eyes looked, the expression on her pretty face. I don't know how she had the fortitude to get through those days! Back then, JH made sure all of the people he wanted to know this sort of information knew his version of what happened and he knew those he wanted to, would talk, throw mud, make her feel "less than". I remember it well! I never heard this disgusting rumor, and as a long ago victim, I feel the urge to come to her defense. I wasn't right there. I'm not absolutely sure, but I'm giving this victim the benefit of the doubt--a benefit she was more often than not, denied. Look at how JS's young victim was vilified and how vicious and unthinkable THAT was. Is that what we're doing here?

Read the account of their transgressions in First Samuel, and tell me how DH was any different.
God didn't blame the women who were seduced through manipulation and unchecked power.
If you can't stomach the thought of God Killing Jack and Dave for this, maybe you aren't a follower of God at all.

I have long thought that he coveted his position, but someone here also brought up that he may have wanted to protect his daughter against having all of her misdeeds published far and wild. She was reported to be a little wild.
