Wally, Lois and Mamusz are discussing the problem of the wronged returning to the CofC, specifically, putting themselves in a position to be hurt again in the same way, although probably worse this time. Where in this chapter does Jesus say that forgiveness requires mental dysfunction?


This is not a joke. I'm asking a serious question -- the one that directly relates what Mamusz and Lois are talking about with what you are talking about -- so please don't break the spiderweb of relevance here.
