I am looking forward to many blessings this week. See you after the week end.
Ian,
You and Donna are two very confused people. You have not grown up yet to discern between fiction and reality. You state about your "mom":
"she is not only one of my best friends, she is also my Mom, and sister in the Lord. As such she is just as entitled to her opinion based on her personal experience and knowledge as you are."
Those who are familiar with logical fallacies know that your statement is a "non sequitur." It does not follow that because someone is your "Mom, and sister in the Lord" this very thing entitles her to her opinions. Who cares about her opinions, or your opinions, anyway? Anybody here? And even if she might be entitled to her own opinions SHE IS NOT ENTITLED TO HER OWN FACTS. The problem is that you and Donna are two broken records, running again and again the same old and nonsensical tune. You keep contradicting FACTS because you don't understand that while opinions can be personal and subjective, the crimes D. Shelton has committed are not a matter or opinion, but a matter of PUBLIC RECORD, of FACTS. You can keep running those damaged records night and day stating opinions and making accusations, but you cannot deny THE FACTS.
Quite often, we people dig our own graves by making statements that show how hypocritical we are. You are doing it all the time. For instance, in your message you state:
"Cetainly [sic!] any accused should have the right to face their accusers and rebut any evidence."
You also state:
"Personal attacks and accusations from the shadows,cloaked in anonymity doesn't in my opinion equal Christian behavior, ethics, nor morals."
Did D.Shelton's actions show "Christian behavior, ethics, [or] morals" when he accused Linda of adultery and spread the rumors and gossip to the whole world without providing any evidence that she had commited the sin?
Did D. Shelton's actions show "Christian behavior, ethics, [or] morals" when he made Linda sign a paper forbidding her to defend herself, and taking from her the fundamental right of the accused to "face their accusers and rebut any evidence"?
Is it a matter of opinion that D. Shelton acted in the most despicable, mean, and dishonorable way when he treated Linda that way while he was hiding his brother's perversion and protecting him from the deserved punishment?
Is it a matter of opinion that D. Shelton lied to the IRS, and tried to steal what is rightfully due to the government?
Again and again Pickle and Joy pointed to FACTUAL EVIDENCE which shows that D. Shelton committed crimes that deserve imprisonment. What is a "matter of opinion" in all the evidence they provided?
