Myths People Believe about Sex Offenders and their wives

I have read on other sites that the reason wife's are silent about what they have gone through is because they are normally viewed as being apart of the abuse. I don't know if that is true or not. I can tell you - I do not care if people think I was apart of it.. I wasn't. God knows the truth. I can also tell you: Satan is sneaky and he works in sly ways. We do not know the thoughts of another, I am sure Satan uses this to his full potential. Wifes, do not hide, I know you didn't know.

People also believe you can spot a sex offender from across the street. They are wrong. Sex offenders are everywhere. They are CEO's and accountants, they are the meat manager at Kroger and the waiter at your favorite restaruant. They are well dressed, well spoken, clean cut and therefore, well hidden.

Also, the general pubic thinks that you have to be abused in order to become an offender. What about those who are abused who do not become offenders? While there may be some statistics to support this idea... it is not fact and doesn't always prove to be correct. Satan, the father of lies is waiting to catch anyone who doesn't RUN to GOD and find refuge there. Sex offenders are people, people God loves, He hates sin - not the sinner.

I pray you RUN to GOD to seek the Truth about sin and realize we are all capable of any sin. I, in no way, am stating that sin is okay, or justified. Sin leads to death. Please, open your eyes to this Truth.

Do you or someone you know have an addiction to pornography or other sexual addiction? Do they want to stop? My husband battled this addiction for a very long time. It led him to be completely desensitized to humanity. People were not people, they were objects. Anything he needed to fulfill that sexual desire. He turned to whatever was easy for him.

When we first started dating, I knew he was 'into' pornography. I watched it with him. I didn't care. At least, he isn't cheating on me... really. When we found Christ and his salvation, pornography didn't have a place in our family anymore. That didn't, however, stop my husbands addiction. He thought if he was saved this addiction would just go away... it got worse. The enemy pushed him down so hard. He lied about watching it, buying it, owning it... etc.

It lead to his ultimate fall. Do not kid yourself...everyone is capable of this same sin.

Nothing is so beneficial as a true self knowledge of ourselves, which produces a wholesome self-contempt. Always think kindly of others, while holding yourself as nothing; this is true wisdom and leads to perfection. If you see another commit a grievous sin, or whose faults are flagrant, do not regard yourself as better, for you do not know what you would do if similarly tempted. You are in good disposition now, but you do not know how long you will persevere in it. Always keep in mind that all are frail, but none so frail as yourself.  – Thomas A Kempis (c. 1420)

This is my new blog. Here to help you. I know I am not alone. Those of you who have gone through adultery by means of child molestation are welcome. Hate the sin... not the sinner.
