Purity Culture author announces separation-UPDATE

Disclaimer... not arguing with you here.


I think generally disagree on the apology part—or maybe not necessarily disagree but have a different perspective give each individual circumstance.

I ask myself the question when is an apology enough/not enough?

Lately, I’ve read many instances where an IG/you tubers/social media person has given an apology and people continue to vilify them, tearing them down, ripping them to shreds and trying to destroy them.

Some times it’s over petty, material things, and sometimes it’s because of something they’ve said, or like in this case the author lived a lifestyle, wrote a book and promoted a lifestyle that many find damaging (and to be fair, there are many who do not find what he wrote about to be wrong at all).

So if someone realizes that they have wronged or damaged people, and they give a sincere, heartfelt apology, is it enough?

Shouldn’t we allow a person the benefit of doubt and see if in their actions now show that they meant it? Shouldn’t we apply forgiveness? (not forgetting)

What if the person made a mistake? And corrected it, made restitution, apologized for their words, or in this case goes on to live a life differently that before?

How long do we stall a genuine apology/hold off forgiveness?
