[QUOTE="Bob Crowley, post: 76896456, member: 383390"] I suppose I could understand the "Secret account" as a fall back. I wouldn't expect this to happen in a Christian marriage (at least I hope not), but I've heard of cases where the spouse or partner has cleared out the joint bank accounts and then absconded, leaving the other spouse or partner with nothing, and possibly with children to look after. I've got no doubt God holds the absconding party to account, and they'll answer for it eventually, but that's not much help to the offended party in the short term. If a person has an account which nobody else has access to, then at least they've got something to fall back on. This sort of behaviour reminds me of a comment by my old Presbyterian pastor way back when I was in his church. He said to me once "I truly wonder if there's salvation for conmen! I really do! They tell so many lies that I think they don't know what the truth is themselves after a while." He'd been a chaplain in a prison ministry at one stage. He said some of the conmen could just about sell you your own shoes off your own feet as they were so convincing. The likes of a bloke like Peter Foster comes to mind. Every time he gets out of jail, he's back in court for perpetuating some other scam. Yet he must have a colossal ability to market and sell.
