The people who started this. did so out of disgust and sadness, as well as a public service /awareness. Staying silent is a choice. God gives us choices. Sometimes, staying silent is a sin too.
Damnation? Aren't you in fear of Damnation for Sam Ritondaro? Is he forgiven by God already? Surely if he is, so is everyone who started this!!!!!
Clean? Sin free? Pure? No one is. But why are you bringing God into this? He has no reign over the will of man, and you know it. He cannot control what men/women do...cannot control the "will". Never, have you addressed the true issues. Sam Ritondaro is a sexual offender,a nd is dangerous to women. Period. The truth hurts, it really does.
As a youth of the family young man, I would suggest to you that by writing here, and "coming here to this page, you are making things worse. To make it go away, simply ignore it. you are making it worse. Truly.
The police dept in Chardon has been burdened with this man, and his father...for years...decades. You cannot use the bible as your shield. It was not meant for that. The best thing to do is admit your sin and ask for forgiveness, and then try to live in a God Like way.
What comes around goes around.The people who started this are not written up here. Yes, they are sinners, but they are not on this venue. Some sins are minor, some are major. Sins are sins. Once you get caught, people judge. That won't ever change. They wanted to let the public know, and some of the public has been informed. Not enough people though. If any of the people/group who started this had assaulted a young Amish Girl, or pubicly drank/ and then slept with / raped a local woman, well then...they should be put on here. AS a warning to women in danger of them.
Sam Ritondaro is not a good quality person. He goes to church and knows theology to some extent, but does not seem to act in the way that God would like him to. He is a public figure, a married man, a Father, and a Son. Keeping deep dark dusty secrets is a thing of the past. The truth is out, and he has to live with it.
He can learn from it, and he can change. But God, and the Bible, and finding scriptures has nothing to do with it. It is all a smokescreen for the family (which I think there are maybe 2 members) who thinks they can deflect the truth off of who he is and what he does. Total narcissim.
I am sure, like others we have asked for forgiveness. But there comes a time when forgiveness and clear/present danger have to be separated. The man is dangerous. Period.
I also believe that the aforementioned was not written by a "youth", as there is only one youth in this mans family, a son. I believe Sam Ritondaro or Terese Ritondaro are the authors.
Perhaps they can put their bibles down, and get real. Stop hiding behind God, who has nothing to do with this. Stop blaming others for knowing and sharing the truth. Stop threatening damnation, and pressuring others to look for scriptures to save their souls!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is appalling that anyone would protect this "man" . It is a clear indication of an unhealthy "person" . Again, stop using the bible as your shield. It is not your shield and it is not protecting you or hiding you!! That alone, is sinful.
