Yikes. Nothing like getting caught with yer’ hand in the cookie jar.
What a gutless coward. He took the Judas Option.
His sins found him.
Imagine if someone hacked facebook and dumped every fb private message and chat conversation out into the internet.
I’m willing to bet more adulterous stuff happena on facebook than on ashley madison.
Sad. He should have used the Hunter Biden defense though: it was a fake account established in his name by Russian spies trying to bring him down.
I most certainly agree. Had a friend and former boss who’s ex-wife carried on a relationship with a person from her old high school on FB and left him after 16 or so years of marriage.
He never saw it coming.
Former roommate of mine did the same exact thing. Found a former bf on facebook, chatted him up and within a couple years had divorced the husband and married the old bf. I was just like...ummmmmmm what?
“Nothing like getting caught with yer hand in the cookie jar.”
Of course, by “hand” I mean [bleep] and by “cookie jar” I mean [bleep].
Just wanted to clear that up.
Very sad. He lost his perspective. There was no reason to commit suicide, but he couldn’t see that.
Facebook’s al gore rythms make it so easy to connect with people, including those who are looking for old and new flings.
And it’s free.
“His sins found him.”
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.”
Looks like he cast his own stone.
It did not need to end up in such tragedy. Should have hurt him, yes. Called for suicide a million times no. Sometimes I wonder if people have to check their hearts into a lock box before logging into FR.
or bone.
He wasn’t much of a Pastor.
God would forgive him for the infidelity, and adultery.
Suicide is the only unforgivable sin.
Talk about being really bad at your job, all the way around.
Failure to believe on Christ before you die is the only unforgivable sin.
It’s easy to be self-righteous as an anonymous poster where we don’t know what a little a$$ you undoubtedly are in your personal life.
