the u.s. government is returning john walker to the states for trial.

what do you consider an appropriate punishment for his mis-deeds?.

i think, he should be[if found guilty]stipped of his citizenship and returned to somewhere in the mideast to spend the rest of his life,with no possibility to return to the u.s. for any reason.

I like to know where your colege age kids lives? It is not the norm for most to hop knob in ohter countries unless they are very wealthy or have a source of it. Sorry, most kids in colege can't even pay their basic schooling expencses and if live off campus, their living ones. Most college kids work a full or part time employment.

I don't know all the facts yet, for htey have not been presented for trail. From what I have seen , he looks very guilty. Even more guilty than OJ.

I feel the just puinishment for Johnnie is banisment with his citizen being stripped. It would serve the purpose.

After the extremeist in the Arab-Muslim world whim he been dealing with gets though with him, he would be better off dead. I can just see him over in Afghanistan 10 years later, know ing he made a big mistake. If johnnie crosses these guys, going to jail over there will be an experience of a lifetime. Most likely he will be dead.

Johnnie is better off in this country serving life in prison. 3 squares, tv, vistors, etc will beat jail in a Arab-Muslim nation anyday.

well, i just got home and im piping madd.. im laughing about it as well though because i outsmarted them at their own game and got a rant off my chest.. heres what happened.

an acquaintance i used to go to the hall with.. who is also 3 years younger than me asked me for money about 6 months ago.. at the time, i loaned him $50 to get the tires on his car fixed.

in that time period, not only did he move out of his parents house to an undisclosed location because he decided to stop going to the kh.. but i also da myself in that time frame.. due to the fact he moved out, i havent been able to reach him.. i tried calling his parents home to discover his current location or at least to tell them if he contacts them, to be sure to have him reach me because he owes me money.. no response.

I was not critizing you, but I do feel there is more than meets they eye here.

You could have filed a claim in small claims court. If you are indingent, you could have had the fee waived.

If they brother did not show up, he would havea lien place on him or his bank account. Belive me, his parents and the hall would have gotton in touch with him quickly.

I don't belive the elders would have called you if this was your first attempt to collect your debt. Sicne I am an ex-JW, I am not siding with the elders, but common sense would come in play here. There would be some laws around it. Is this the first time you tried to collect your debt on Kingdon Hall propery? Have you bother his paretns or other Jehovah's Witnesses about him to collect? Could that be why they called the police? Maybe they just wanted you to stop harrasing them.

Now it comes to a point why did you not just let it go?

You did try to collect a debt during a religious service. Whether you love or hate Jehovah's Witness, they do have the right to left alone during their worship services. That is where you crossed the line.

He was there during the uprising. that fact has been out for a while now.

Seeker, just to answer your question, most YOung people Johnnie's age don't travel around the world and live in other countires unless theri parents are very weathly. It is not cheap to live over sears unless there is an American money coming in to exchance at the higher local currenty rate.

The parents actions speak louder than their words. Whether Liberal or Conservative, you must take a hard look at how he was raised.

Paretns who have not set up many boundries for their children experence such a consequence. I wonder why a child of such Loving and Ultra-Liberal parents seek out such a ridgid form of Muslimism? Johnnie was looking for the love he was not getting from his parents. He was looking for definition and his boundries.

I remeber when i was his age my faterh just died and had 4 minor children and a sick mother to support.

I feel there is a little bit more to this story than meets the eye.

Deep down inside you may have to over look your $50.00.

Did you see the whole interview? I did.

Johnnie grew up in an Ulta-Liberal parents and Ultra-liberal California. since I was raised in Massachuttes (The place where liberalism started) I am very well aware of consequences of liberal thinking and politics. That is why I moved to a more Conservative State (Florida)

Bottom line his parents did not care for him. Their words deny thier actions. Let Jonnie find himself by giving him money and living in Yemen. He left when he was 18. Now what in the world did Johnnie do for money. Being 18, and a foreiner in an Arab based Mulsim culture, I don't think he qualifed for any Job except to sweep the streets. So his parrents were saupporting him or gave hijm access to a sweep acccount in his name.

Sad thing is Jonnie claimed to be more rightous than the native Arab Muslims living there.

Personally, I feel his punishment should be to have him stripped of his US citizenship forever. Now his dad is saying now Jonnie loves America. Johnnie has a strange way of showing it.

I wonder how the wife and three children of the dead CIA agnet feel about Johnnie who took part in killing the CIA agent in the prison uprising.

If Johnnie goes free, the consequneces will be worse for our already overburden judicial system.
"When justice is done, it bring joy to the rightous, but terror to the evil doer"-Prov 21:15

"It is not good to be partical to the wicked or deprive the innocent of Justice."-Proverbs 18:5

Seeker,

I heard his mother today on some interviews. Did you know seeker she did not hear from her son until she saw him on TV? Talk aobut not know where your kids are or what they are doing. I wonder what she really though when she saw her son toting an assult gun? "Honey Jonnie on TV, watch this and call our lawyer."

Personally, they should keep him in Afaganistain.

If you kill him, you will confirm not only in his mind but other extreme Taliban Muslims he a martyr and hero.

He should be stripped of his citizen ship and just left there.

the other day, i was messaged by a young jw guy (using yahoo messenger, where i am breezyone2001; chat me up, gang!).

his opening line to me was, "why are you attacking the witnesses?

" i responded by asking him in what way i was attacking the witnesses, and he said that he saw my name in a yahoo club for ex-jw's.

Dear Dr. Laura Schlesinger (& Jay Dubs)

by BritBoy in

jw
friends

old-ish one, but still very amusing!!!.

background: .

laura schlesinger is a us radio personality who dispenses advice .

nowaytess

I am sorry but I must agree with Dr Laura here. Being a Christian homosexuality is still a sin,a nd a amonination.

Other Laws were taken out when Jesus dies on the cross. Homosexuality is not one of them.

I liked Dr Laurta when she was on the radio here. Why do you think she is very popular?

In a world whihc is lacking a moral compass, she is providing one. Many christian churches are too afrad of offended people with truth of God's word by but pointing out sin. The church just might be empty if the Preacher just might give a sermon on how not Just homosexuality but adultry and fornication are wrong. If anyone who can point a Scripute that say they are not a sin I like you to share it.

How can a person change if sin is never pointed out but just accepted? We may in the back of our mind agree it is wrong but don't want to offend anyone or pay the price in a politically correct workd it is so.
