A divorced Jacksonville woman said her former church has threatened to "go public with her sins" and tell the congregation about her sexual relationship with her new boyfriend.
Rebecca Hancock said harassment from Grace Community Church in Mandarin over her sex life caused her to leave, but she said that didn't put an end to the problem. She said she received a letter from the church's elders telling her the church plans to make her personal life very public.
OK, maybe I'm missing something here, but doesn't Hancock reporting this to the news media make her "personal life very public"? What possible damage can her former church do to her when she admits to the press:
"I'm basically run out. I'm the church harlot."
The 49-year-old said she has been dating a man for a while and she said members of the congregation at Grace Community Church haven't been happy about the relationship.
"Because I have a boyfriend that I'm involved with … to not be married to that person is a sin," Hancock said.
I can understand why this woman would be upset. I can see that she wouldn't want her church to publicly "out" her for what she's done in her life. She has every right to be upset with her former church for threatening to do so.
But does she really have to go to the press to tell us how much she wants to keep her life private?
Too late, Rebecca. Now we all know what you've done.
