Larry asked them about it just now on Larry King Live (2-11-2), and they refused to deny it.
I know that's probably dissapointing a lot of FReepers.
Yes. At first I thought the comparisons of the mother to Susan Smith were pretty far fetched but reading the parents have hired a PR firm to build up their media images is very odd. Plus the neighbor telling the police he was dancing with Danielle's mother and her denying it is a bit puzzling. He would have less motive for lying about that since it actually helps to place him at the crime scene. It's even possible he is being framed because his collection of porn makes him look suspicious.
They were going to kill her. Nobody here is in that kind of danger.
You are still at the rock-throwing, name-calling stage. Then you hide behind Bible verse that you are not worthy of quoting to justify your name-calling.
I'm not hiding behind anything. I'm calling it as I see it.
Not judgemental blowhards calling them perverts and deviants.
They involved their children in their sordid life......and now one may have paid for their self-indulgence.
Ask yourself, is what you have done on this thread what Jesus would have done?
He was never afraid to call a sin what it is.........a sin. Some people didn't like to hear it then either. They killed Him for it.
Pot...kettle...black...
You want to talk the Bible........is swinging (adultery) a sin or not?..........is this so hard? You sit here and criticize me for pointing out the obvious.
Another unsubstantiated assumption by yet another FReeper who can't tell a fact apart from a rumour.
Please show me any statement that I have made that would back up what you just posted about me.
Why do you continue to post unsubstantiated lies? You haven't a clue as to WHY these parents hired a PR firm.
They are sinners, so are you, and so am I. Moral relativity is what you will have to engage in to show me that whatever sins the Van Dams may be guilty of, are worse than the sins that you and I are guilty of.
They are all sins, and we are all sinners in His eyes.
BTW, I like the way that you twist scripture to suit your need. Sometimes it's allegorical, others it's literal.
You and I (I think you anyway) both know what the tale of the adultress meant. Don't BS me.
You tell me where I am 'twisting' Scripture........I regard that as a serious charge.
He told her to go and sin no more.
He was critical of her lifestyle choice however; He rebuked those who would pass His Father's judgement upon her.
Preemptive strike; Paul (Saul) is the worst person you could dream up that would have authority to speak His word.........and no Luis, I'm not comparing myself to him, if that is what is next on your plate.
As I said before, there is a great lesson there.
The last will be first, and the first will be last.
According to the police statements, the people who where in that house both Friday and Saturday nights have been cleared of any involvement, so your point is moot.
The fact is that children are kidnapped by sick, perverted a$$holes who get sexually aroused by little kids. The overwhelming majority of swingers are adults who enjoy sexual contact with like-minded adults. If that was not true, and considering just how many swingers are out there, we would be reading this story constantly, wouldn't we?
Look through the thread and you'll see all the FReepers equating pedophilia with adultery. What a bunch of crap. Pedophiles are sick people, and in a class of their own.
The person who kidnapped Danielle, has probably murdered her by now. If we catch the SOB, the Van Dams are going to be put on trial for their lifestyle. There's nothing illegal in what they do, mind you, but the scumbucket who killed this child will take a clue from those who are placing blame on the parents here and elsewhere, to try and get away with his inhumane crime.
I find this statement of yours interesting: "...all I did was repeat rumors...", and you continue to do it as if they are facts, don't you see something very wrong with that?
As I am not quite sure what you are either asserting or defending, it is not really productive to this thread, myself or to you, to continue a discussion with you.
In addition, I do not care for your use of the Bible to defend behaviors that are clearly against what the scripture teaches. The scriptures teach repentence from sin, forgiveness and atonement of sin...it never condones sin.
Good day.
I am still waiting for the response on taking children from their parents if they do not allow the kids to receive medical assistance when urgently needed based on their religious beliefs.
I am also amused at what you will not respond to in my posts to you.
For ewxample, you left a nice chunk of response #780 on the "cutting room floor".
This part that you left off struck me in particular:
And yet another lie.
Show me wherte I have used the Bible to defend the behavior of the Van Dams, or apologize.
So-called Christians do nothing but lie and offer false witness in here.
