Ok, but TS was not arrested for having sex with a 19, 20 year old, but for pedophilia. And even in Duane's case, TS was a grown and married pastor, so he was just wrong out of the gate because is all those instances, he should have known better. At the very least, he abused his position of authority. So, Duane still has a point, even if you all want to only address once he became a consenting adult. However, I believe that is part of the issue, right?
Ok, now I just give up.
Everyone says Tommy's relationship with Duane was wrong on all accounts, even Tommy says that, but it has nothing to do with child molestation nor Tommy being a pedophile. The Duane thing has been used all along to cloud the issues and justify the allegations of child molestation against Tommy and to claim that Tommy admitted he was guilty of child molestation.. It needs to stop! It is a totally separate issue.

I'll tell you what needs to stop. It's you and the rest of your whole wad defending this man. You claim you have never met him or any of the victims. Fine, Then DROP IT! I, for one, am sick and tired of your word games and fact twisting. You're here for one reason and one reason only, and that's to stir the pot. Well, you have your own site where all that kind of bilge seems to be welcome, so go do it there. Your defense of wrongdoing while all the time trying to convince everyone you just "want what's right" is disgusting.
What word games? What fact twisting? What defence of wrong doing? Be specific. Answer simple questions for once, Duane!
As long as we are being blunt here. I think the fact that you expect to have everything you say and imply taken as gospel truth while refusing to answer the questions those things cause displays little understanding of anything but your feelings and point of view. I also think the fact that you think you alone have to answer no questions while others do, is blind and misguided.
I think the fact that I am not insulting you, nor accusing you in any way in regards to Tommy , and am , and have, only asked you questions designed to get the facts and the truth and allow you to express that,and keep saying so and trying to show that while being labelled a liar; while you refuse to answer, and want me and others to shut up and go away, is wrong. You are in a discussion group,and have been for years now, that involves questions and answers!
I think, you are helping none but yourself by doing that.
What do YOU really want, if not the truth? It can't be an apology, nor anything else offered to help you, for you've had that, more than once, from Tommy, and refused both.
What is your deal?
