  Are You For Or Against The Death Penalty?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i clearly am for it if it's proven without a doubt that a person murdered another in cold blood.

  recently, in connecticut, a man was convicted of killing 2 young girls and their mother.

  the animal raped them and almost killed the defenseless husband/father who could do nothing while these atrocities were being carried out in his own home!.

  Yes, most definitely. I have worked as a court stenographer for many years and it never

  ceases to amaze me what humans can do to one another. Just when I think I have heard

  the worst thing ever, something else comes along.

  Part of my stance on the acceptance of a death penalty is the advent of DNA evidence. Perhaps

  I would feel differently if DNA wasn't so accurate and can be traced to the source with all certainty.

  I remember once an expert put it this way: The probability of the person on trial sharing the exact DNA with

  someone else was one in a couple hundred trillion, meaning, you'd have to seach the universe for a match.

  I think if the trace evidence is there, DNA is warranted. If a conviction is based on just reasonable doubt or

  probability without exact DNA the death penalty is rarely sought...or upheld.

  Anyway, here in Pennsylvania we have it but it hasn't been implemented in a long time. The last death

  penalty case I had was around six years ago...and he's still up in prison fighting out appeals and it will go

  on for quite a number of years. Ironically, he's in the same death row prison as his father. But even if someone

  wants the death penalty here, the process still takes time. The appeal is automatic, whether the individual wants

  to die or not. It's an expensive and weary process...and all at the taxpayers' expense.

  That was just a brazen thought on my behalf. Perhaps I ought to be

  well my mom and i got into a pretty bad argument today over the phone.

  it basically came down to the fact that she couldn't handle what i was saying about the organization, etc and all she could come back to me was that i "hated her?

  " i guess i just wanted to share and vent a little too....thanks for letting me do so.. .

  That is very well written. I had a similar conversation with my mother last year. Told her

  that although she THOUGHT she was doing the right thing by me in raising me in the org,

  in fact, it wasn't in reality. It's a hard pill to swallow. But it will most likely fall on deaf ears. She'll just deem

  you even more in need of intervention and prayer. It's sad...

  I remember the rush to get the food even before Amen was said.

  Those annoying tickets too. Couldn't pay with cash. I think Shasta

  went out of business when the food thing went.

  It's all part of "Jehovah's loving arrangement."

  wt december 15, 2010. snippets from this watchtower are below.

  keeping in mind that all articles are written with an agenda, to address problems in the organization or to pave the way for new guidelines, look at what i highlighted.

  Question about the new song book...is there anywhere I can go to hear

  how bad they really are? I'm just dying to hear a few!!! Worst part of the meeting

  for me. EVERYONE sang the soprano line out of tune.
