By the way lots of celebrities are bad people for all sorts of reasons. Of course it is sensible to separate the person from the art, but a predatory pedophile is too much.

steph - It would take too long and it was too long ago to recall all the details, but at the time of the trial I was convinced of his guilt. IMO the prosecutor lost it by piling too many weak pieces of evidence into the trail which obscured the important facts.
No adult takes an unrelated child into their bed for innocent reasons. His carefully practiced naivety and innocent facade was bullshit. He was a predator.

I haven't listened to his music since the original court case.
When will people stop making exceptions for wealthy celebrities? He was so obviously guilty.

That was one of the messages in the cultural Revolution. Its "OK to Rebel." - FTS
Are you referring to Mao Zedong's 'Let a hundred flowers bloom' campaign? The one that turned out to be nothing more than a trap leading to the persecution and death of countless 'rebels' who dared to take him at his word?

But granting for a moment that there are a lot of prisoners held, and there is a program to re-train their outlook, isn't that what a lot of western people think should be happening in their own countries?
For fuck's sake NO!
Absolutely NOBODY in the west thinks that millions of people who disagree with them should be dragged from their beds and sent to concentration camps.
China is a totalitarian dystopia.

Hi welcome to the forum and congratulations on waking up. Please be patient with hubby. Breaking free isn't only about facts, its also about the huge emotional attachment and investment in time and energy. The heart takes time to catch up with the head.
Be understanding and enjoy your freedom. Hopefully he will just take a bit longer than you to get there. Be careful about saying things that will just make him defensive. Freedom for your children is the greatest reason to persevere.

It is not only Christians that China is persecuting. Approximately 1 million Uighur Muslims are being held in detention camps in Xinjiang Province.
China and Russia are oppressive totalitarian regimes that punish their own citizens for thought-crimes.

The Strange Case of Don Decker on Unsolved Mysteries
by Tenacious ini know many members on this forum no longer believe in the christian god of the bible.
and we should all be respectful of each other's beliefs.
no one should be vilified for not believing or vice-versa.. though we all share one thing in common and that's falling victims to the vermin governing idiots.. going back thousands of years, our planet has experienced strange occurrences with many falling under the paranormal umbrella.

Eyewitness testimony of of little value. Why is there no physical evidence of Rain Man's miracles?
Not one single videotape or photograph.

New Life begins at conception
That is a very loaded use of the word 'life'. A cluster of cells is not a human being. A 30 week fetus is. Somewhere between those two points is a sensible cut-off. The real world is not so simplistic.
