Was it before Sproul Jr. turned himself in, accusing himself, confessing as it were to the others --- no, I don't guess so now that I wrote that, but it was before the searchable database came along I take it, which I've seen mentioned here on FR, fairly recently.
I guess he did the best thing, telling others his name could eventually pop up in listings which had email addresses.
It shouldn't crater the whole ministry effort, nor negate whatever information may be associated even though its likely to remain something of an available cudgel for some.
Regardless of sinners ---- who and what kind ---- for whatever truth they may be able to tell of, does not necessarily become not true simply for reason of proximity to a sinner.
Thank God for that?
I agree. If he'd admitted that he met a good-looking woman and thought about starting a *personal* conversation with her, would that wipe out his entire career? It doesn't seem to me that it should.
I suppose the thing about visiting Ashley Madison is that, in retrospect, it seems really, really dumb. Of course, a year or more ago, one couldn't know that the name and email address of everyone who ever visited the site would be made public.
