Re: Idaho church group accused of kidnap could be sent home for trial
Quote:
The facts are: 1. She has court dates in the United States. 2. She is now in Haiti. 3. She has demonstrated willingness to break the law by actually breaking laws.

Re: Idaho church group accused of kidnap could be sent home for trial
Ah, but that isn't what you were saying. You were trying to say that her motivation to go to Hait was to skip out on here court date and that is just stupid.

Re: Idaho church group accused of kidnap could be sent home for trial
Where did I say her motivation to go to Haiti was to skip out on her court date?

Re: Idaho church group accused of kidnap could be sent home for trial
There is a question mark at the end which means it is a question, not a statement.

Blow smoke all you want, I'm a big boy and games don't fool me. You were trying to imply that was her motivation.

Re: Idaho church group accused of kidnap could be sent home for trial
well, if everything we are hearing is accurate, this gal simply sounds like she has a need to help those who are in a terrible bad way. So much so that she neglects her own responsibilities as she perceives them comparatively unimportant and not life threatening. In fact she likely buries herself in giving charity as a means to escape what she believes to be unimportant, her own welfare.
I would like to see a news piece on the orphanage she built.

Re: Idaho church group accused of kidnap could be sent home for trial
How about the fact that she has a history of illegal activity?

I don’t hate Christians. I do hate people who use a professed belief system to break laws for their own purposes, especially when their actions are the antithesis of what they profess to believe in. I don’t care if the hypocrites are Christian, Muslim, Druids or atheists. If they profess in a belief system then they should follow that belief system for its own sake and not for personal gain or glory. I may target Christians more than the other religions simply because they do form the majority of the population and therefore the majority of the offenders. They are an easy target. I have a lot of respect for people who profess in a belief system and actually follow it, especially when following that belief system is not in their best temporal interests. I have nothing but contempt for people who violate their professed beliefs for their own short term gains or to exercise domination over others. However people who profess in a belief system and do actually follow it are in my experience a small minority of those professing to be believers. In this case the kidnapper is now is hiding behind the cloak of Christianity to get a pass on her illegal actions. She violated the principles and practices of Christianity and wants to get away with it because she is Christian. A true Christian who wanted to do good despite the laws would then accept the punishment in the belief that the trials and tribulations she experienced her on earth would be rewarded in Heaven. She lied about her authorization to take the kids. She said that she only had orphans but now it is coming out that she knew that the kids were given up by their parents. Doesn’t her holy book say something about false witness? IS that not the same as lying or can she ignore the parts of the book that are inconvenient at the moment because she truly believes? Of course if she truly believed then she would also believe that she did not have to lie in the first place. She broke local laws. Does not the Bible say something about obeying the law of the civil authorities? If she was a true believer then she would welcome her upcoming period of incarceration as an opportunity to show the sacrifices that she is willing to make for her faith rather than wining about being just a good Christian who deserves a pass on the kidnapping attempt.

It's the old Secret Shopper Con, and that's what this woman obviously is, a professional con artist. And yes, she fled the US to Haiti and either decided or meant to use the EQ to facilitate this con while she was there or took advantage of it once it happened. That's what con artists DO. It's their BUSINESS to often cover one scheme with another. I'll lay you MONEY this woman has either Irish Traveler or bad Gypsy connections I'm sorry, but the naivete of anyone defending this woman as "well-intentioned" and just not having the proper paperwork is un-fucking-believable. It justifies everything that is ever said about religious people being taken advantage by others who know they're blinded to evil by their religion. I especially liked the part that some of the children had parents, it's like a Monty Python sketch. It |
