To be shocked it’s Huw?

[Shirtella]

His wiki page says he’s a Christian and a weekly church goer. Not a great ambassador for them, ah well

Oh stop it. This is tbe most ridiculous post I've seen yet and I've seen a few! He owes you nothing just because you pay his license fee. His pay packet is irrelevant.

And if you think teachers and nurses are saints, at best you're naive.

I do think that if you signpost that you are religious, you are wanting people to draw a conclusion that you are a moral person, trustworthy and decent.
If it then turns out that you are a not those things, it reflects badly on you that you've deliberately misrepresented yourself. Religious people are supposed to possess moral fibre!

But my rl experience is that some of the least Christian people I know (in terms of kindness, not being judgmental, tolerant etc) are active church members and market themselves as such.

If it turned out that a teacher had paid money to a young person for intimate pictures and that young person was doing this to find a drug habit, I'd expect the teacher to quickly become unemployed. There are some jobs where a certain standard of conduct is expected, private life or not.

😆

Other people paid from the public purse (teachers, doctors, nurses etc) have to adhere to codes of ethics, professional standards etc. We should expect the same from the BBC.

Just curious - do you think you have the right to an opinion on the sex lives of everyone at the BBC? Editors, technicians, producers, sound engineers, security guards, receptionists, marketing, orchestral musicians?

A quick google tells you, but I’ve personally heard this from three extremely reliable sources (nature of job).

@PodgePie
I've googled but can't find anything except references to receiving in patient care in hospital. Are your three sources at the clinic concerned? (I hope not.) I would be surprised if the family have made it widely known where he is, given what tabloid journalists are capable of.

Who is Simon Nicholas? I did google but that didn't know either

@PodgePie whatever information you have, I imagine if it was known that you have shared it on a public site, you'd find yourself unemployed.

Thanks for the concern but my employment isn’t at risk, nor my integrity, given this is an anonymous forum.

No, not clinic staff. I found the information on google so it’s readily available. There seem to be a lot of ‘secrets’ that aren’t being kept terribly well when it comes to this.

Church goer, worked for BBC, it all makes sense. Now he’s hiding safely behind MH in a private hospital. His wife must know by now that he prefers young boys, silly woman. I’m not shocked at all, there’ll be more & they will be younger.

Please can you post a link @PodgePie?

Or google search terms that will find it?

This is spiteful and unnecessary.

Agreed.

@CrystalPalaceAlice

That's nasty

I was shocked. Didn't know he had mental health issues already. Always struck me as steady as a rock, but obviously that's just his screen persona.

Actually saw a random TikTok a couple of hours before, naming him, and my thoughts were "don't be so ridiculous! Of course it's not him!"

Religious people can be some of the worst.

As can non-religious people.

They can be some of the best too. As can non-religious people.

Most are somewhere in between. Same as non-religious people.

Good one.. 🤣 Let's just ignore the vast amount of paedo priests and vile abusive nuns specifically choosing those areas of work to get close to children.

@LadyBird1973 I do think that if you signpost that you are religious, you are wanting people to draw a conclusion that you are a moral person, trustworthy and decent.
Not at all.

If it then turns out that you are a not those things, it reflects badly on you that you've deliberately misrepresented yourself.
No, the person that drew that previous erroneous conclusion have deceived themselves.

Religious people are supposed to possess moral fibre!
We are all supposed to have moral fibre in an ideal world.

God’s grace doesn’t transform our souls in an extrinsic way that overpowers or obliterates our natural habits and dispositions. Instead, God’s grace works intrinsically in our souls, elevating us to the supernatural level of God’s adopted children. But though it does this, it does not automatically enable us to act as God’s children.

God’s grace will have different effects based on the natural temperaments of the people with which it interacts. That means the question is not, “Will grace make Christians as a whole better than non-Christians?” but “Will it make Christians better than they were without it?”

HTH

Quite. Religion protects no one from anything.🙄

@MrsPapadopolis why do people feel the need to broadcast that they are Christians, unless to signal something that the recipient? Might as well keep that information private.

I would certainly agree that a belief in God's existence doesn't make anyone a better person. But if they broadcast that they are Christian, this is a social shorthand for saying they adhere to Christ's teachings and I therefore disagree that they don't want you to draw a conclusion about their character based on this information. Why do people tell anyone anything about themselves, if not to exert an element of influence over your impression of them?

Personally, I think good Christians are those who quietly get on with their lives (of which faith is an integral part), in a way that adheres to the values of Christianity, without making social capital from it.

HTH.

Did he broadcast it?

I think someone upthread said it was his wiki or SM.

He probably suffers from depression because he's in the closet.

Still grim though with a 17yr old.
