Wis. jury: Father guilty in prayer death case

WAUSAU, Wis. – A central Wisconsin man accused of killing his 11-year-old daughter by praying instead of seeking medical care was found guilty Saturday of second-degree reckless homicide.

Dale Neumann, 47, was convicted in the March 23, 2008, death of his daughter, Madeline, from undiagnosed diabetes. Prosecutors contended he should have rushed the girl to a hospital because she couldn't walk, talk, eat or drink. Instead, Madeline died on the floor of the family's rural Weston home as people surrounded her and prayed. Someone called 911 when she stopped breathing.

(snip)

Neumann, who once studied to be a Pentecostal minister, testified Thursday that he believed God would heal his daughter and he never expected her to die. God promises in the Bible to heal, he said.

"If I go to the doctor, I am putting the doctor before God," Neumann testified. "I am not believing what he said he would do."

They like a good laugh, too.

You have no idea how many lurk and laugh.

Goodness!

I’m surprised at your diligence at confirming earlier allusions to the object of your obsessive affections!

Maybe the water on the raspberries is done.

Tempurpedic calls.

Quix you’re an empty suit.
You’re a liar.
You don’t have the educational background you claim.
Let’s face it. You’re a dirtbag.

Thanks yet again for your unparalleled capacity to display an obsessive tendency to be

100% wrong in such matters.

I love it. What a riot of obsessively displayed ignorance.

“Why are you so gay for Quix? Do you want him?”

Why do you want me to be gay? You really need to stop with these fantasies. I told you before I’m not interested in that kind of thing and if you are jonzing for your nut fix you need to go down to the Blue Oyster Bar.

They have what you are looking for there. Just discretely drop your LBNP onto the floor and go to pick it up. You will find the fulfillment you are so desperately seeking.

Nobody showed up for me because I didn’t ping anybody. I don’t ask others to fight my fights.

Does projecting your personality traits onto Quix make you feel better about yourself?

LOL.

Fire hydrants are filled with water, not piss.

*You* have a Nutology degree? You totally got cheated. You really need to ask BFEU for your money back.

I realize that mean-spirited assaults on Christians is terribly offensive and troublesome to a lot of us Believers.

I certainly believe that mean-spiritedness deserves all the flack it gets.

However, I also feel a bit sad for such poor folks who walk around without the comfort and help of Christ and His Spirit.

I wish there was a better, more gentle, more charitable way to confront their meanness. A big part of me finds it distasteful to throw even very muted fiestiness back at them even though that seems to be the only language they understand. I just haven’t found a better way to respond.

And, throwing a muted version of fiestiness back at them seems to be the only thing that gives them any pause, at all.

Ah well. We do what we can.

Hmmmm.

I hadn’t thought of that. But you’re right.

Thx for the insight & reminder.

However, for some folks

“hypocrisy” is just a word in a dictionary to fit others.
