Yes you did and I felt the same that this was bull. But after the flames that many got and a couple who had their posts deleted I decided to keep my mouth shut. At least you had the gutsssssssssssss............

[maggief]

The pastor is on CNN

[BigSkyFreeper]

Oop! It's official, wedding is cancelled, (per preacher)

"Almost all runaways put the leftbehinds through emotional hell. Likewise people who commit suicide, the ultimate runaway."

So True. The family was put through a process similar to grieving ...wait till she has to deal with their "anger phase". Quite justifiable, IMHO.

[Lancey Howard]

Oh I see. Now that the media has smeared the fiance, it's time for the victim to get the Elizabeth Smart treatment.

What victim?

[beyond the sea]

but this is a 32 year olf professional career woman..good family, good schools..contrast this with now practicaly 99% of those here beat up on the three 18 year old female troops in Iraq who were cashiered becuase of the mud wrestling incident..what does this tell us about ourselves?

Irrational?

[beyond the sea]

Damn........ no warm feet.

In view of the Karen Carpenter looks, this comes to mind:


We've only just begun to live

White lace and promises

A kiss for luck and we're on our way

We've only begun



Before the rising sun we fly

So many roads to choose

We start our walking

And learn to RUN.

Someone made a comment earlier that Drudge had not posted anything about this story. He has now. Just a normal headline. That's the way it should be. This is a simple story that shouldn't be getting this much hype on FreeRepublic.

[BigSkyFreeper]

What victim?

The one with the scissors in her hand and hair all over the floor.

[tobyhill]

I wish the pastor would tell the truth,"John is an incredible man for having to put up with this stuck up bi*ch".

[beyond the sea]

And learn to RUN.

She did.

Yes, she looks like Karen.

[cajungirl]

I dont know but this seems like a wedding story kind of thing.

We forget how crazy people can be. Is this that different from so many other whacky stories. What makes it different is the press making it the story of the week. The press is so into murder and crime.

[arasina]

Yeah, right. It's always helpful to use 'STFU' when calling others know-it-alls. Good grief.

[cajungirl]

Oh Nooooo,,they canceld it for a little thing like this?

[Cboldt]

Why do you continue to defend this fruit-loop like she's 14 years old?

I'm not. I'm pointing out the absurdity of making runaway a criminal act. Well, it's absurd to me, but some who post here will try to justify making her action into something criminal.

[Howlin]

Oh, it's worth it. $80 for a year? Buy 8 things from Amazon and you've gotten your money back.

Plus you can add four other people to your membership for no charge.

[maggief]

What a shame ...

Karen had a great voice.

[beyond the sea]

They'll be off to Bermuda soon.

[Howlin]

Absolutely. Now, I know you know that.
