Ahhhh....good riddance!

Not to worry....it seems most of the morons are in enough financial pain from obamanation to defect.

Good news...soon we can usher these crooks out of office. It appears that Americans will do just that.

We are free from the law, of which tithing is a part. In the new deal, we have been paid for at a price, and are by our own acceptance and submission, wholy owned by God. That includes everything we own....so it is all his, we are just stewards. I don't need to "give back to God", it is his already. So to those who live by the law of tithing, I ask are you coveting 90% of what is God's? If it is all His, then be a good steward, and be generous to pastors and teachers, but to the poor also. Feel free to also have nice things, and live well...He didn't purchase us at such a high cost to be downtrodden, he did so to raise us to sit at the table with Himself! That's pretty cool!

Your views are relevent to me, and well taken. I tend to lean toward the profound consequences, rather than the unintended consequences. Reason...if I do everything perfectly, proclaim Jesus perfectly, there will be those that hate me..it's a negative uninteded consequence. Even doing the very best, produces some negative consequences, because we live in a fallen world.

Week in and week out I hear pastors drone on about the need to give a tithe...a concept of the old testament which is similar to our modern version of welfare....I seldom hear pastors ask merely for offerings. It's ahuge turn off. I think this church by taking the opposite apprach is reaching out to people who might never come otherwise. I would think to complain if the pastor were giving out drugs or prostitutes...but a giving a little love present back? No problem.

Good bye WOOD...it's been good, but if you're censoring me, I'll need to censor you too. Please feel free to email an apoology....perhaps I'll visit your once respected web site. P.S. This kind of behavior is why you're millimeters from closing the doors at WOOD.

I have met Judge Post, he's a gentleman, with the safety of the public and the maturity of the people that come before him in mind. The liberal perspective that there should never be consequences to foolish actions is not shared by him, or most of the people in Ottawa county. If that is what you're looking for, go to Detroit, enjoy the fruit of that kind of thinking...don't forget to bring your pepper spray!

Perhaps if you don't want to meet him, you shouldn't do things that give rise to a visit to his court. I for one appreciate Judge Post.

And while he is supposed to be the adult in the situation, that doesn't absolve the girls of being responsible for themselves to some degree. I think you may be letting prejudice about sexuality taint your judgement. If it were an older female behaving this way with boys of that age...would you proclaim that any attempt to state that the boys partake of some responsibility....was "schtick"? Really....this would be a crime with more than one person in the wrong.

I remember those years very well, and recall that I was plenty able to make decisions regarding my sexuality. In my opinion, there's plenty of reason to go after the guy if he's guilty, and there is reason to think the girls are not innocent as well.

Having parents that defend their actions...isn't helping to shape them into good citizens.

My suggestion is to show them where to stick it on the very next election....throw the bums who are doing this kind of stuff....right out of office. We get the government we deserve if we allow this to stand without massive firings in Lansing!

My point is that gay or straight, God loves everyone. I think you're wanting me to say that being gay is a neutral thing, which it is not in my view. My view though is not important, God's view is, so if you have issues with His views on this, I recommend taking the issue up with Him. For those that do not believe in God, there is nothing to explain. For that I'd have to say I'll heed the warning "Do not cast your pearls before swine, as they will turn and devour you." Since it takes a fool to see the created world, and not know there is a God, there is no wisdom I have that can convince them, I have nothing as impressive as an ocean or a mountain to offer. God still loves them too.... You have some interesting questions, they all seem to be designed to wiggle around the truth.. Of course exceptions exist to my general statements.

I wouldn't recommend putting that to the test....the phones are answered by humans. Tue, 27 Oct 2009 01:41:34 +0000 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/kent_county/Victims_fiancee_911_failed_us#IDComment40783730 http://www.woodtv.com/dpp/news/local/kent_county/Victims_fiancee_911_failed_us#IDComment40783567 lonewatchamn....I certainly hope you aren't going to crawl under a vehicle supported only by a jack. This story will have some value if we learn from the tragedy....do not crawl under a vehicle unless it is properly supported. Under all circumstances, even with good support, don't do so without a spotter available to give assistance if needed. A scream heard by a neighbor and forwarded to 911 is ample evidence that emergency services are not omnipotent, omnipresent or in any way like God...they are just good people doing their very best to do what humans can do. We can all be sure that the operator who answered the call....would love more than anything to have given some kind of assistance. And NO, I have no horse in this race....I'm like you, nothing more than an observer.
