You are correct, of course. But will judgement start in this life or the next...for Jurine.
*GRIN* "Vengence is Mine, saith the Lord"!!
AMEN!!!
I must be a baby then, I'm only 51, LOL!
Seriously though, I am probably stepping into it with some, but here goes:
I am here to tell all--I may not know what specific actions I would take if in Beth's place, but I do know this: I would move heaven and earth and fight satan himself to find out what happened to my child.
The issue right now is finding out what happened to Natalee, not Natalee's judgement. None of us knows what happened to Natalee that night except that she is probably dead. Bad things happen to good people who do everything right.
For those focusing on what Natalee may or may not have done to put herself in that situation: NEWSFLASH! Kids do stupid things. It is part of their job description. Been there, done that as a child and as a parent.
No matter what a parent does, no matter what a child learns at home, sooner or later a child will do something stupid. I know what is like not knowing what to do first: hug him or kill him.
Anyone saying their kid knows better and would never do anything so stupid (regardless of the topic) is either living in a dreamworld or their kid needs to get a life.
If personal responsibility is the issue, we need to talk about Joran or the brothers. We need to support the Twitty's and the Holloways so that those responsible for the fate of their daughter pay the price for their actions. Natalee has paid the ultimate price and it may be for nothing more than being trusting and naive.
Only after we know what happened, who was responsible and how that night unfolded should we discuss how Natalee found herself in that situation. She may have done everything right.
Focusing on her judgement now, before all facts are known is a veiled way of saying she deserved what happened to her because of her poor judgement.
Whew! rant over.
