There are a couple of corrections that need to be made. 

First off, Mr Claude Mcknight needs to stop throwing around "the in thing to do" right now and that is that he has a "sexual addiction" -- that is a joke...  most of the women involved [with him] will tell you it had nothing to do with sex... it was more to do with his need for control over them and masturbation on an incredible level.... Yes, sex was involved sometimes with some, but the kind where he worked on them for many years on webcams, telephones, text msgs, then convincing each and every one, all at the same time - you see. His true need was to con, and deceive, and then masturbate.  The man is allegdely, nothing short of a very sick narcassist only. 

He is spinning this now, because he enjoys the attention, just like a true narcassist.  He keeps it going now, only  because he was forced by many of us to come out about it (yes there are more than one that put him on blast) and there are many things that he does not tell you. He is not sex addicted... he is an alleged, very sick narcassist... but at least he confirmed he is sick...in your interview, for a change.

I know you all applaud him for coming out, but he did not, until a couple of ladies made him do so! I for one do not forgive him nor believe in his sick lies that he has bettered himself and neither should you, or the supposed great gospel world, until he gets the proper PROFESSIONAL help he needs. 

In my opinion, he needs to learn to respect women in general!! I repeat it has nothing to do with sexual addiction, but it has all to do with RESPECT TO WOMEN IN GENERAL and grabbing some normal, decent, values. Alledgely unfit for a role model is what he is, until he takes proper action to get some real help.  

So, the interview was missing some things I would say there, David. Quite important facts actually.

PS, fyi - why are you are using an at least 10-15 yr old picture of him, he looks nothing like that now.

I'm not supporting the behavior at all, and yes, he DOES need to seek consistent professional help in order to receive the healing that he needs.  However, please remember that King David in the Bible, was not repentant until Nathan the prophet "put him on blast"...  We can't judge anybody and we don't know what is truly in this man's heart.  We need to pray for him and for ourselves that we don't get so caught up in pain that it turns into bitterness.  Sin is sin, and NO ONE IS PERFECT except Jesus Christ, of whom I pray that we ALL STRIVE TO BE LIKE.

Dr. Charles Stanley in The Source Of My Strenght says (pg 74): "Don't allow the sin of an abuser against you to become a root of sin in your life.  Refuse to vent your hurt and anger on your abuser.  Remember the command of the Lord in Romans 12:21: "Do not be overcome by evil, but ovcome evil with good."

This doesn't by any means mean that you are to be a door mat, just be careful not to sin against the person who has done you wrong.  It's a lot easier said than done, but it's truth and it's freeing.  Let God handle it.

 I have had some AWFUL things to happen to me in my life and I can honestly say that it is liberating to be able to put our enemies in the hands of God.  For years, I never spoke of it, I simply removed myself from the abuse and worked on my own healing.  Today, I can honestly look in the face of the person that abused me and genuinely ask, "how are you?" and really care about his response.  I have seen that person suffer and it wasn't pleasing for me to see it, in fact it really hurt me, but it was not in my hands.  I released it and I still pray for him.

Enough with all of this smearing, and lets do more praying - for us and yes,  for him...

Having been on the negative side of a relationship, I can understand how deep resentment and pain can pierce a women’s soul so deep that it would be hard to wish any good on the perpetrator. Claude McKnight was exposed and he acknowledges it. Now in the end it will be up to God to save him from his sins. We may not see it or believe that he even deserves a second chance. I understand. I have had to counsel myself instead of continuing to hate another person. I lost so much of my time and life hoarding the animosity of a scorned woman. I want to live. I had to make better choices and realize that it was my choice to lend my emotions to another. We must control ourselves and our emotions. If we do not put God first we will never be happy or see the good in anyone.

It is interesting, Nurse, that you put yourself in the same category with Claude McKnight--who himself admitted to sex addiction, and who is a person that women [have] described as a pervert, a con and user of women.  Seems as if you have harsher words for the women in these situations that Claude, and have utilized sexist terminology with regard to women.

Perverts and sex addicts don't have "normal" relationships with women such that the women from these relationships could accurately be referred to as "scorned".

Recognize this situation for what this is.  This is definately perversion, trickery, and debauchery here.   

Claude McKnight actively sought these women out and pursued them only to con and use them and subject them to his perversion. 

These same behaviors are also evident within other members of the Adventist church. Yet sectors of the church have defended these perverted behaviors.

There is a leader employed by an Adventist Church Conference who likes to self style himself as a "conservative" pundit in Adventism - who upon hearing of these types of actions launched against another  Adventist - jumped to this Adventist's defense, and has led several missionary crusades in a developing country with this Adventist and inferred innuendos about the female victim of this Adventist.

Some of the Leaders within one adventist Conference overseas have also come to the defense of behaviors such as the types of behaviors exhibited by Claude McKnight when exhibited by one of their own missionary leaders.

Mr. McKnight himself admitted that he is a sex addict.  For his admission, I must give him great credit because this type of truth and honesty is not widespread in parts of the Adventist Church as is evidenced by some of the leaders referenced above who have tried to demonize the female victim as a "jezebels".

I believe that both parties are wrong here in Claude McKnight's scenario- both the women who engaged in fornication with Claude McKnight as well as Mr. McKnight himself.  Yet, I believe that Mr. McKnight shares most of the blame.  He is like the Midianite who is harrassing the Israelites into debauchery.

Claude McKnight was big enough to admit some, but not all of his sins.  He admitted that he was deceitful and a liar and a sex addict and that his problem was lust.

This is amazing because other Adventists guilty of the same behaviors are not willing to admit this but have even gone out of their way to enlist other Adventists to smear their victims.
