Some issues that still concern Amanda today.

"Amanda should not be angry unless we are kissing in the fellowship hall", said Sally on day to Daniel on front of me. I felt anger that she was minimizing the problem: her lust.

All I could think was: she really wanted to kiss him in the fellowship hall. She really wanted to get physical with him. Her true desire was to get intimate with my husband... I thought.

She was on the pastor's good side so that made me think the enemy was coming in a three-pronged attack.

What do you do when your husband is using his gift of music and all this is happening? How do I tell him that he is gonna have to leave his job?

One time the pastor's wife came over to our house to try and help the situation. She told me a story of a sailor who cheated on his wife and got his girlfriend pregnant and then the wife found out and forgave her husband. After hearing this I did not feel better at all. I got the distinct feeling that I was being pressured to forgive and forget and push it ALL under the rug. AND remain in the situation with "Sally" doing the same stuff.

Were they that desperate for a female singer in the church? Is it ever RIGHT to accept the person Satan sends you?

I think they didn't want to see it, because they were friends... And age appeared to have a great personality.

So after we moved I went back to the church to retrieve some things we had forgotten. I saw Sally's car among just a few cars in the
parking lot, so I didn't go in. I felt anxious because I was thinking Sally is now part of the nucleus of the leadership of the church. That was my thinking.

Another time I went to return some hymnals, I talked with the pastor's wife at the parsonage. She said, "We'd just about had your husband trained, then all this happened". I felt she was minimizing the problem and not recognizing the threat to our marriage. I was sort of stunned when I heard this, that WE had put them in a pinch! She also mentioned that some girls have attractions to certain types of men, like heads of companies, etc... Leadership types... Uuugh! More minimization! I left in shock...
