This is where I came up with this nonsense. Post 76
"First of all we are to obey laws that do not conflict with Scripture", and "YOU SEE WE ONLY HAVE ONE CRITERIA,,,,GOD'S WORD, and he said to obey those in authority over us, and that includes judges."
It isn't good example for children to follow by disobeying a ruling specifically to protect the children, so be a democrat if you want to...but the republicans I know follow the rules as long as they are appropriate..in this case it was appropriate demand.
In the first place it is ALWAYS a good example to teach your children to QUESTION FOR THEMSELVES anything that anyone tells them. This ruling wasn't to protect the children, it was to take the children away from the mother, period.
YOU accuse ME of being a democrat? Nice ad hominem. But no cigar.
This wasn't an appropriate demand made by the father. It was a demand made in order to take the children from the mother altogether.
The mother may have been an idiot for agreeing to this as part of a custody arrangement and since she DID agree to it she should have stuck to the agreement but the judge fining her and giving her jail time is BS.
If the agreement is broached you take away unsupervised time with the children.
I believe President Bush would agree with me on this one, don't you??
I'm not so sure the President would agree with you. He probably wouldn't agree with me either but I'm not so sure he would agree with you.
OH and I wouldn't want you by my side either when orders are given, you are kind of person that would get someone killed while you are being the maverick know it all.
It's probably a good thing that we don't want to be by each others side when the bad things go down.
You'll be genuflecting to the rulers and I'll be in the woods waiting for them to step wrong.
I see no reason to argue with someone who clearly does not understand my post. NO way was that order to take away her children, it only said for her not to smoke in presence of children....she could have went outside, to her room or to another room in house. In fact, it was probably the children who reported her...as it does not say anyone else was there.
Yes, we are to respect and obey laws that do not conflict with scripture...and teaching someone to think for themselves is what should be done, but teaching them respect for authority is also important...there is a balance in all things.
Rebellious teenage attitudes are dangerous, anyone can try and justify smoking, drinking, drugging or whatever, but she disobeyed a court order...period. Obviously she is one of those people who are going to do whatever they want, no matter the consequence to her or the children. ciao
