    What can a woman do if men in her church want to have sex with her? She is single or married. We have lots of problems in our church...

    Hmmm. This IS a Church you're writing about? Where are the Pastor or Elders hiding? If this situation is affecting you personally, I would run out fast & not look back. And grab the arms of as many other women as you can on your way out.

    I agree. This community is tricky but I agree. Many people have been forced into silence because they do not want the leaders to get into trouble...

    Hello, with just limited information, I would say you have a few courses of action:

    1. Report any illegal activity to the police

    2. Report the facts of the problem (only what you 100% know is true, not any assumptions) to church leaders

    3. Leave

    The above two can by anonymous if you are concerned about ramifications. It's Biblical to try to solve issues within the church before escalating to use outside services, like attorneys or police. Maybe church leaders know about this or maybe they don't. One way to be sure is to anonymously send them a letter and inform them. One thing important in this process is only reporting the facts of what you personally witnessed, not assumptions or interpretations of things. Use quotes, dates, times, locations, names, who did what where and when. Gossip and hearsay can often lead to falsehoods and can cause even more harm, so as long as that is avoided in this process it will be on solid ground and will help people rather than hurt them. God bless.

    This awful type of situation can occur in any given setting. Haven't you heard the saying, the devil goes to church too. He wants to wreck havoc everywhere he goes. God's word tells us to resist the devil and he will flee. God's spirit as the Comforter will reveal every man's character. I would personally comfort this person!!! We do not run from the enemy, we put him in his place, then report him to elders, and police.
