In reply to Jim. I agree that some churches and organizations that are Christian do not show the love and compassion by which that name should be known. However, in thinking about it, all of the churches and organizations I have become aware of in reading and research that do include registered citizens among those to whom they minister, that welcome registered citizens and their families into their midst, and that operate reentry and work programs designed specifically for registrants are also Christian.

In reply to Maestro.

Sad that so many Christian (?) organizations are seemingly void of mercy towards so many today (RSO’s in particular). However, such organizations are not truly Christian. In America much that passes itself off as “Evangelical” is merely a self-styled, self-serving, and self-righteous political entity. These organizations cannot be considered Christian, they are simply America’s version of Christian…and they are in no way lovers or followers of Christ. Political Christianity is a fraud, otherwise there would be no discrimination towards anyone. Don’t accept such, Maestro, as representing true Christianity. For most assuredly they do not!

Not many countries in the world have an online sex offender registry. Now sex offenders in those countries have no restrictions on where they should live and their coummunities aren’t always aware that a sex offender is living next to them. And sex offences has not gone increased as a result of those countries having a sex offender registry that is NOT opened to the public and only opened to law enforcement. So why is the registry here in the States online? What is the reasoning to have an online registry? In thise BBC article the British Police are focusing their monitoring on the most dangerous sex offenders and relaxing checks on low risk offenders. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-40451318
Also in England. If you have children and you are dating someone and you would like to know if they have a sex offence. You can go t the Police Station and they will tell you. they log everything down about the person making the enquiry. They call is Sarah’s law/sex offender disclosure scheme.

In reply to D. Mike. You've echoed the words of many of us with your comment. Yes, society has its head shoved firmly up its own ass. How do we go about prying it out so they can all THINK more clearly?

In reply to Should go fee driven then.

That actually makes perfect sense.
Charging a fee is a way to make themselves more “private” like a County Club and then they have all the right in the world to pick and choose who can join.

However, for those of us who have non-violent offenses and for those among us who were minors themselves when they committed an offense, the dating websites will claim they never need to open their doors to us (as if we don’t have a right to date/marry ever) by using it against us that WE said we’ll accept not being able to join a membership fee site.

In reply to Rajendra.

So right! I ended up homeless for 6 months due to a violation of probation that I ended up beating because it was a ridiculous reason to violate. And it took me about a month befor being evicted from my home to find a shelter that would accept me.
And guess which shelters turned sex offenders away….

The CHRISTIAN ones. Ironic.

I think the next battle should be the Sex Offender Registry itself because it is an open secret that the Registry with its strict conditions, restrictions, and penalty is a punishment. No matter how much those in the Supreme court try to sugarcoat about the Registry, at the end of the day, people have end up under a bridge (even homeless shelters do not accept the labelled citizens), some killed by self righteous vigilantes, and many more are at the brink of losing everything.

Here’s the letter; this should work. In case it doesn’t, click on the link in Robin’s post; just click “the letter” in the first sentence.
