Speaking on the subject of the 1991 abduction of Jaycee Lee Dugard, her alleged abductor, sexual offender Phillip Garrido, and sexual offenders in general, Sheriff Warren E. Rupf said:
"...If they are sophisticated in any regard, it is in misrepresenting who they are, what they're about, and what motivates them."
Take a moment to step back from this horrible crime committed by Garrido and consider Sheriff Rupf's statement with respect to your own life. Isn't this statement equally true of many who are not sexual predators? Isn't it true that many who claim to be following Jesus (even outwardly appear to be doing so), are equally as 'sophisticated' as Mr. Garrido in creating the appearance of integrity?
