I don't see Maria as vulnerable at all

No, she's definitely not vulnerable and innocent, like we were. If a married man with a family had come up to me and wanted to take my pants off, no way would I have ever gone near that man and probably would have reported him. It was after I joined the COG that I learned perversion and was taught that it was Godly. But I never liked it, secretly I abhorred it but dismissed them as doubts from the enemy. Always in the back of my mind, my conscience, was that nagging reality that there was something wrong. No, Maria reminds me of Rose, in my story, the type that loves running other people's lives and thinking they are so smug that they can hear from God for other people because they are such peons that people can't hear from God themselves. The Alpha females that love the adoration and the power.

Berg was abused as a child, do you have sympathy for him? I may pity them, but I have no sympathy. Look at Ricky (Davidito) - his article was so touching, look how he can differentiate right from wrong even though his whole life he was taught that wrong was right. Look how he was happy for the young couple with the babies, that they had a chance to have a normal life with a loving mother and father. I think your conscience (God's small voice) eventually gets through - if you have a conscience. I think some people simply do not have a conscience or refuse to heed it. These people are in need of shock treatment, or to be put in jail so they will stop their abuse, because there is no stopping them.
