[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Before would be lovely, but no most come clean after exposure or out of fear of being exposed. No one is perfect including leaders and it’s not a huge surprise when they fall into adultery, etc. It is however important they take responsibility for their behavior to those they have led. To brush it under the rug and/or run off and embrace a hedonistic lifestyle isn’t honoring to the people who gave them their time, money and service while looking up to them as Christian leaders.

This goes for Jen as well, who has taken zero responsibility for the demise of her marriage. It takes two to tango but she’s been playing the victim in her posts/podcasts. Obviously if Brandon cheated she has every right to feel angry and betrayed. But that doesn’t negate all the years leading up to his adultery where he was suffering in their marriage feeling unloved and unheard. No excuse but Jen was not even hinted at having a role in her divorce. [/quote]

It doesn’t always take 2 to tango and asking a woman to take responsibility for her husband’s infidelity is victim blaming and gross. This thread was stuck on this concept several pages back. I’m not sure what happened with the Hatmakers, but in general, when someone decides to cheat, that’s 100% on the individual who cheats. Marriage is hard. Weak minded people who cheat rather than working on the marriage or leaving with dignity should be held accountable.

Additionally, from personal experiences, I can tell you that all sorts of shady and unsavory things happen with clergy and clergy adjacent folks and most/all don’t confess unless cornered. Cornered and caught confessions are about damage control and have nothing to do with accountability or spirituality. You’re a sucker if you think otherwise. [/quote]
