The victims were also offered independent professional counseling paid for by the church. It is our understanding that none of the victims at that time chose to press charges."<br /><br />The above was taken directly from the joint statement issued by Fellowship Memphis and Downtown Church. If only adults were involved, why would DCS be contacted? (This is info taken from Bryan Loritts' tweet.)

I think you may be reading too much into this, and may be tapping people on the shoulder just the punch them in the face with what you think you know. I would challenge you to maybe have personal conversations with some of these people you disagree with instead of trying to maintain a perpetual social media war. On an unrelated note, you are beautiful! And I wish the best for you in life.Jarisnoreply@blogger.com
