[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of the posts on here dress up smugness as concern. "I used to think she had the perfect life but now it's ALL FALLEN APART and I feel better about my life!"

Where Jen is now is not the end of the story. Where she was a few years ago was not necessarily fraudulent just because she's in a challenging time now and questioning and challenging everything. Jen at 47 is not who Jen was at 37 and is not who she'll be at 57. Give her the space and time to figure it out that you'd want people to extend to you.

If any part of you feels a little happy about where she is right now because you feel justified and better about your own life, go sit with yourself in the dark for a while and tell Jesus you have f*cked it up and you'll try to do better. And then, you know, do better. [/quote]

I admit I have to check myself sometimes and have that talk with Jesus.

However, as a former ANC-er, the damage she did to so many people (myself included) and how she has denigrated and blasphemed the gospel - often it’s like a modern Psalm of David, asking God to topple His enemies for His name’s sake.  And I consider Jen an enemy of God in so many ways. There is a *righteous* anger that is very appropriate towards Jen, Brandon, Tray, Jason Morriss, et al.

The line between schadenfreude and righteous anger is easy to blur and confession and repentance is sometimes appropriate. Which is also why I only pop on here every few months. My own sinful heart can be easily led astray. [/quote]
