You're insisting that they suffer the consequences for their non actions.

I'll try to make this clearer for you.

The action was hiring a stripper.

Sure, maybe 99 times out of 100, it's a safe thing to do, with no consequences at all.

But, there's always the chance that cavorting with a woman of questionable moral character will burn you. That's what happened here. The consequence is damage to their reputations. (Note to all: The subject of this thread-within-the-thread is "who will restore these young men's reputations?")

The appropriate consequence for hiring a stripper and getting caught at it is being kicked out of the Bible study. You seem to lack all sense of proportion. That's OK. Your turn around the wheel will come.
