Gainzo Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Really Ben, really? In one of the clearest signs yet of Ben Roethlisberger laboring to change his reputation, the Steelers quarterback has told a Pittsburgh newspaper that his religious beliefs preclude him from living with his fiancee. Roethlisberger told Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that his fiancee, Ashley Harlan, lives at home with her parents, and that the couple’s religious faith and beliefs are the reasons for not living together until marriage. That’s quite a change for Roethlisberger, who developed a reputation as a womanizer over the first six seasons of his NFL career and who has twice been accused of sexual assault. Now Roethlisberger says he’s a changed man, although he knows some people are skeptical of how much he has really changed. “People will always have opinions of everybody and me, and that’s fine, they’re entitled,” Roethlisberger said. “But people who know her, know me, know us . . . people can say that it is whatever, but people who know and can see and are around us and know me, know that it’s something special when you find that person, and I’m extremely lucky.” Roethlisberger’s wedding is scheduled for July 23. He says Harlan hopes the lockout will delay the start of training camp just long enough for a honeymoon. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/07/religious-roethlisberger-wont-live-with-fiancee-before-marriage/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoping4ASuperBowl Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 How did they meet, in a bathroom stall? I'm glad hes trying to clean up his act, but I seriously doubt he's changed for the better just like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I think the "finding religion" thing is a great gimmick for people like Ben and other criminals. So many people eat that $h!t up like there's no tomorrow so why not get as many people on your side as possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiFtheOracle Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 My guess is, he probably raped another chick and its being proactive by claiming religion before the story breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crusher Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Pretty interesting religion that allows raping woman in the toilet but precludes living with your girlfriend until your married. On the bright side, by not living with your girlfriend gives you more time to go out and get your rape on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her parents must love Mr. Roethlisberger as they are letting their little girl get married to that POS. I wonder how they would feel if Ben made $20K a year? Me thinks they wouldn't approve.

JetsFanInDenver Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I no expert on religion and i don't play one on TeeVee. But when a rapist who goes scott free discovers religion and lives the rest of his life according to religious rules. Where does he end up in the after life ? Heaven or Hell ?

slats Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 This reeks of bullsh*t, obviously. But if he went to rehab (which I would've advised), it's very possible that he's clinging to some sort of god thru his new program. If the faith he grew up in precludes him from living in sin, it might not be an act. If that were the case, though, you'd think there'd be a big public announcement about Ben's sobriety, and that hasn't happened (that I'm aware of). So yeah, BS.

Vudu Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 If Big Ben has discovered religion then I have discovered the wonderful delights of teh phallus...and I can assure you I have not. Big Ben is a rapist...Im surprised he found a good 'Christian' girl to marry him. Her parents must be uber proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
