Just thought I would start a new thread.
I saw the parents on Greta and Connie Chung tonight. They were pathetic. At least on Chung (wasn't Connie--a substitute) the prosecutor was also on and she indicated the abuse story is far worse than first reports.
Haven't read it.
May I just say how grateful I am that I had loving parents? We sure weren't perfect kids, and we were reprimanded a lot. But if you told my mom and dad to do what was done to that little girl, they would have just gotten up and walked out.
One of the men I work with adopted a couple of little girls several years ago. They had been physically and sexually abused. The youngest girl was about 18 months old, she had a habit of going into the bathroom, and trying to flush her head down the toilet. His wife would have to make sure all the bathroom doors were locked. The three year old never did come around, and she was influencing the younger one, so they had to give her up, which broke their hearts. But both this guy and his wife just loved that little girl. She would sit and rock with her for hours, reading stories and singing songs to her. And the other little girl they had to give up, went to another home, and is doing quite well also. Anyway, the point to my story is, love goes a long ways towards healing hearts.
Yes, it was difficult to even listen to them. They were such cold fish! No spark of emotion at all. Just stared straight ahead. Their lawyer did a lot of the talking and even he sounded like he didn't believe their defense.
I'm so sick of this "bonding" and "counseling" crap, just more of the PC pit the county has fallen into during the past decade or so.
These are the rules, there is no rule that you can't defend your faith when questioned.
I think that it is possible that the family has been given information by LE that indicates that Elizabeth is no longer with us. I believe that LE pretty much knows who was behind the abduction and feels that Liz is almost certainly dead. I think they are still trying to build a case but with Ricci gone it is going to be difficult unless they find the body and even then if too much time has passed it could end up like the Chandra Leavy case.
I don't think it is possible that MK could tell a lie that could fool everyone involved for over three months. She heard a clear threat and saw what she believed to be a gun. For your idea to fly you must account for MK's part in it.
I just did a search in the general interest section for any posts by jengaio and found none. All of her remarks have been removed and this I think could only have been done at her request. Jen, if you're reading this we need your input in this forum. Come back Shane, Come back!
You can post as much of this info on the thread as you want.
Devil just asked why certain posts were deleted. They were mine.
Innocuous, I think. At least I'm stymied as to why they're pulled. Honestly.
I'm also banned and don't know why. I wrote to Jim Robinson asking for an explanation, but probably won't hear back for a while.
Anyone got any ideas???
I lived in the Persian Gulf for 15 months (Saudi Arabia and Kuwait). There is a stake in the region made up of about 15 branches (small congregations). In Saudi Arabia they had to meet in private residences because there are no official sanctions for any Christian services. In Kuwait the branch was able to meet in a home that was converted to a meeting house that was used for nothing else but worship services. They were not allowed to have any kind of sign or markings denoting what the building was used for. They could not teach non Christians the gospel and there is no official missionary presence. The Stake Center was in Bahrain but I never got there.
