When I was a WOW in '76, I started feeling da vey had lost, well, da vey. They were in the process of getting a little too legalistic.
One of the girls in our twig had invited a guy up to her apartment. One thing led to another. Needless to say the next morning she came to me condemning herself.
When she finished telling me the story, I smiled at her and said: "Welcome to the human race. You screwed up, in my book that makes you human." I talked to her a little, explaining if we didn't fowl up once in awhile, there would be no need for a savior. Yadda yadda yadda.
When I was talking it over with my family coordinator, ,his first response was self-righteous anger. "She wanted it," he insisted.
So now I'm teaching the guy that's supposed to be leading me about compassion and forgiveness and the fallibleness of being a person and how Christ sacrifice is worthless without all this.
Now in retrospect, I see the irony of the whole thing. Here's this guy--a notch further along than I was in the ministry--ranting and raving about how wrong this woman was for a one night stand, meanwhile werewolf was in his rolling motel room wolf whistling at everything in a skirt.

Funny how she "claims" to not have noticed how far off everything was with Martindale and co till the $h1t hit the fan.
Probably the mastermind scheming it all.
And now, nothing fits..
Back to the drawing board, redefining everything..
