I am actually pretty far into my healing so your post did not hurt or offend me.@Jennifer, I am very sorry about what happened to you, and any distress related to my post. Please let me assure you, I had not read your earlier posts, and that no part of my post above was at all directed at you. What little I then-knew of your situation was nowhere near my thoughts when I composed that message.
The last paragraph was directed at #MeToo. It was something that occurred to me after I had written the rest of the message. Other than the comment about #MeToo, the only purpose was to add to what was said earlier regarding Exo 22:16-17.
Regarding your questions for me, I am uncertain if it is appropriate for me to comment here about any matters of jurisprudence as it relates to your situation. I'm sorry.
I am glad to hear that, thank you.I am actually pretty far into my healing so your post did not hurt or offend me.
Please help me understand what you're saying here.# = pound, right?
Hashtag (#) MeToo is a movement that attempts to encourage other victims to come out about their attackers.Please help me understand what you're saying here.
@Jennifer, I want to say very sincerely how much I admire your grace and character. I think you're handling this better than I am. Today as I drove home from school this very thread was on my heart because I know there will be other women and girls who visit the site and ultimately will encounter our testimonies. My heart aches that they will see how this subject of abuse has been handled by this BF family. Never in my wildest dreams would I have seen this thread going to the depths or direction it has when I started it a week ago Thursday night. At this point, the thread has been totally derailed. Nevertheless, there's a reason all of this has happened the way it has. So we'll see where it goes from here.
Some of the posts by certain people are so blatantly calloused, cold-hearted, and demeaning, I struggle to understand their continued and adamant assertion that they are patriarchial men, deserving of all homage and reverence. They blast, slam, and decry the feminazies, as do I and you and @Patricia. But when 3 women from this family in BF quite innocently and openly have shared real life personal abuse and trama with no hidden agenda, those men have mocked, ignored, and downplayed the facts. When they were faced with real hurt, they looked the other way and decided that wrangling over $$$ should decide how that violated girl/daughter/woman should be treated by the rest of society, family, and pervert! God help us!!
I want to say a special thank you to the men who stepped forward with sound reasoning and questions confronting the naysayers.
Ok, no hidden agenda. There is ‘No Way’ on God’s green earth my daughters will ever marry their rapist. I would never allow it. In addition, there are additional stipulations regarding that scripture.At worst, they are emotionally manipulating the discussion and are anything but "innocent" with "no hidden agenda".
This gives a more comprehensive understanding of the passage and how it actually worked in real life.

Same here. But my great gramps was mid 20s when great gramma was 15.My great grandfather was in his early 20s when he met my great grandmother. She was 15 at the time. He respectfully requested to court her. Did so with the fathers permission for about a year.
Then came the request for her hand in marriage. Then the father walks her down the isle and power is stranferred.
Happily married life long.
Great gramps died at age 98, and grams several years later passed in her early 90s.

Same with my in-laws, may they rest in peace. Different times back then apparently.
