Another Situation...

[ZachBz]

Well, between my last major question, I have another...

Please read this first to understand the underside of the story:

The girl that I had cared about in the above post is now someone I didn't expect her to be.

She's been very active sexually lately with a couple of different people; varying in extent. She even sees and calls herself a whore...

I know what I can do is very much so limited, but it hurts me just to think what she's becoming. I feel like she's smiling on the outside, yet crying on the inside.

I'm no longer attracted to her in the way I was, yet I know she's one of God's children and I HATE to see her become this way and I love her to pieces.

What can I do? What could my friend(s) that's close to her do?

I just can't help but to think that there is something I do... it hurts to see her slowly losing hope inside herself.

Make like Joseph and run.

Seriously, it's her life, and her mistakes. You can't do anything to help her unless, and until she wants to change. You must learn to become more like our Heavenly Father and let people live their own lives. In the mean time, with the struggles you have, I don't think you should consider being around such an influence.

Run.

Have a frank and loving conversation with her. Explain to her the importance of the standards you live by, and encourage her to talk with her bishop and begin her repentance. If she refuses, then tell her you will be there for her WHEN she's ready to fully repent and turn her life around. And then go on with your own life. If she hasn't spoken to her bishop, then mention it to him, so he can look into it. It may be that she will humble herself before the Lord's judge.

Some people have to play the Prodigal Son until things get terrible for them, and then they remember they can repent.
