And now the algae blooms make going in the water until the later part of July inadvisable.
Other than that, Grand Beach is pretty good; especially the dunes of East Beach. Haven't been there for 25+ years, though, so maybe it has changed.

The sand is pretty amazing, soft and pillowy.

High profile Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias from RZM Ministries has been posthumously accused and investigated for "sexual misconduct."
https://www.rzim.org/read/rzim-updat...ravi-zacharias
Based on what I have read beyond this article it sounds like he had a reputation for propositioning and abusing massage therapists—many of whom were possibly illegal immigrants who succumbed for fear of deportation.
This has raised an important question for me about the role that the Bible plays in perpetuating this behaviour among Christian leaders. As I see more and more Christians on social media excuse these scumbags on the basis that they are only human, and that even the best of us are prone to such spectacular failings, the more I am convinced that the problem is less-so with human depravity, and more-so with stories from the Bible like those of King David's sin, recorded in 2 Sam 11–12.
For those of you unfamiliar with it, David was the most virtuous, popular and most successful king in the ancient history of Israel. According to the story he spotted a naked, beautiful Bathsheeba bathing on the roof-top of her dwelling, and sent to have her brought to his house where he had sex with her. She became pregnant, and the king panicked at the discovery that she was the wife of one of his high-ranking military officials named Uriah. To cover for his crime, David arranged for Uriah to be killed in battle, and then took Bathsheeba to be his wife. YHWH was angry with David. As punishment the son that Bathsheeba bore did not survive, but David lived long and died in peace and prosperity. The End.
(In a slightly altered version the punishment for David's crimes are suffered by the people of Israel, not the king himself.)
One will notice that the story itself is a story about men, written by men, for men. Bathsheeba is nothing more than an object to forward the narrative. She has no agency at all in the story, and her own feelings and her fate are entirely ignored. She has no power at all to resist the king, his advances, his sexual appetites, and ultimately his enforcement of marriage. In turn, the crime that David commits is not against her, but rather against her husband and his god. When Christians retell this story it is always as one of foreboding caution issued to Christian leaders, warning of the dangers of sexual misconduct to their own reputation and ministry. Again, the woman, her mistreatment, her feelings, and the consequences suffered by her are completely ignored. It is repulsive.
Is it any wonder that this is such a pervasive problem in the modern Church?

Everyone deserves the presumption of innocence. However, even if Brian Warner didn't do anything illegal the fact at that age he was seeking out an 18 year old automatically makes me think he is a creep.

How do you know she didn't seek him out?
Also, the judgement of other people's lives based on arbitrary age numbers is sickening.
That being said, I'm shocked that the man who has been a drug addict for 25 years, made his fame by pretending to be a satan worshipping psychopath was not a great guy behind the scenes. Shocked I tells ya.

For all the metoo stuff and people actually believing victims, nobody in music is going after the old guys
Seems the music business wants to just keep it under the rug and carry on, maybe throw a bone every so often.
there is enough documented fact you'd think the media would be all over jimmy Page for example.

Yup - David Bowie, Jimmy Page. They raped children. No one wants to think about it.

Jimmy Page? He's a fossil.
Why haven't they gone after Drake??
Seriously, we know why. Same reason no one cares about Woody Allen and Roman Polanski. MONEY.
As long as they are raking in the millions for their record companies and movie studios, they'll be protected.

It's like Chris Brown. Public sentiment when he tried to beat Rhianna to death among women was overwhelmingly in HIS defence. No one cares. At all.
So if the record companies don't care, the radio stations don't care and most importantly women don't care, what is anyone supposed to do?

Don’t think I can say this without some sort of ‘victim blaming’ or whatever the hell, but...
Relationships require two people. At what point does it go from ‘dump this loser’ to PTSD inducing abuse? I don’t know, it’s not 1950 anymore, if your boyfriend or girlfriend is being mentally abusive you can walk out the door.

Yeah dude, that's easy to say, but harder to do. There are spouses that stay in non-abusive relationships/marriages just out of fear of change.
Throw in some physical or mental abuse and it changes everything.
I don't think you are being flippant with your comment so don't get me wrong, it just isn't as easy a leaving.
