Please respect Virginia Giuffre’s memory by refraining from asking about the circumstances or theories surrounding her passing.

Since Virginia Giuffre’s death, I’ve reflected on what she would want me to say or do. This piece is my attempt to honor her legacy.

When I first spoke with Virginia, I was struck by her unshakable hope. I had grown cynical after years in the anti-human trafficking movement, worn down by a broken system and a government that often seemed complicit. But Virginia’s passion, creativity, and belief that survivors could be heard reignited something in me. She reminded me of my younger, more hopeful self. Instead of warning her about the challenges ahead, I let her dream big, unburdened by my own disillusionment. That conversation changed me for the better, and following her lead led to meaningful progress.

Virginia was one of the bravest people I’ve ever known. As a survivor of Epstein, Maxwell, and their co-conspirators, she risked everything to speak out, taking on some of the world’s most powerful figures.

She loved when I said, “Epstein isn’t the only Epstein.” This wasn’t just about one man—it was a call to hold all abusers accountable and to ensure survivors find hope and healing.

The Epstein case often gets reduced to sensational details about the elite, but that misses the bigger picture. Yes, we should be holding all of the co-conspirators accountable, we must listen to the survivors’ stories. Their experiences reveal how predators exploit vulnerabilities, offering lessons to prevent future victims.

You’re not powerless in this fight. Educate yourself about trafficking and abuse—online and offline—and take steps to protect those around you. Supporting survivors starts with small, meaningful actions. Free online resources can guide you in being a safe, supportive presence.

When high-profile accusations arise, resist snap judgments. Instead of dismissing survivors as “crazy,” pause to consider the trauma they may be navigating. Speaking out or coping with abuse is never easy. You don’t have to believe every claim, but you can refrain from attacking accusers online.

Society also fails at providing aftercare for survivors. The government, often part of the problem, won’t solve this. It’s up to us. Prevention is critical, but when abuse occurs, step up for your loved ones and community. Protect the vulnerable. it’s a challenging but a rewarding journey.

If you’re contributing to Nostr, you’re helping build a censorship resistant platform where survivors can share their stories freely, no matter how powerful their abusers are. Their voices can endure here, offering strength and hope to others. This gives me great hope for the future.

Virginia Giuffre’s courage was a gift to the world. It was an honor to know and serve her. She will be deeply missed. My hope is that her story inspires others to take on the powerful.

Thanks for sharing. Prayers for you in this time.

This debate came up in Adult Sunday School today:

https://philosophical-theology.com/2023/08/05/subtle-yet-significant-differences-between-molinism-and-theological-determinism-does-it-really-matter/

Far from being 'speculative nonsense,' getting this doctrine right (or wrong) can have significant impact on our heart-stance before the Lord in the face of deep suffering and loss.

I vote yes on molinism. :) I think it’s far more congruent with scripture where strict determinism has to do gymnastics with many more free will oriented passages.

Never forget. Never trust.

Right. It is happening. But how much? I can’t imagine there wouldn’t be whistleblowers sending pictures and videos of them loading up the tanks. I think it’s something to be vigilant about.

I have to say, the conspiracy that this is happening in mass is hard for me to believe, but these people are psychopaths so I wouldn’t doubt if it’s true.

That seems like an expensive way to send money! Haha

And you give up the anonymous wealth for cuckbucks.

Cool idea though.

Well done. I’ve talked to many Christians and the general feeling I get is there are too many dragons to slay to take on more. Most people are so burdened by life and caring for those around them that deeper, complex philosophical matters can’t make it on the to-do list. I think the fiat food, screens etc. are slowing people down. It’s sad.

If you take the time to DYOR on the resurrection, you’ll conclude it happened. Listen to a few debates and read a book or two and you’ll be convinced. Convinced there is hope from every tyranny we are under internally and externally. That’s worth consideration.

Or numb yourself with temporary hopes and overconfident skepticism.

William Lane Craig is a solid start.
